You dared me to call it rice!

Really, your car is very nice and done up right. I'd gladly drive it :smile:. Not rice at all.
I'd post a pic of my ride but you wouldn't want to see it, it's just a truck.
2001 Honda Elite
1995 Yamaha Jog
1994 Yamaha Axis

I can't believe
that cop put me
in the backseat
when I clearly
called shotgun.

Dont get me wrong im into muscle cars as well as bimmers and toyota trucks but this car is just the family grocery getter. The power:liter ratio on 4bangerz is also wayyyyyy better than a v8. Do the math. Ive seen 9 second chevys and ive also seen 9 second crx's and eg's built with a fraction of the price. If your trying to build a dragger then my vote goes to vw bugs they are the best imho. Just harder to find round here

I'm into both, but I can get 225 out of my 1.6l turbo engine on stock internals everyday for 1,000,000 miles and your 5.7l chevy will make 200hp on a good day without extensive mods cam swaps headers etc. and idle poorly then at 300,000 blowup for no real reason. I went through my muscle stage with my 87 f250 502 stroker high compression pistons big cam intake big carb headers etc. it got 4 mpg around town if I drove nicely need 93 oct gas or almost no timing at all and made 500 hp at the wheels and ran a 13.0 at the track. my miata I swapped a 3.0l stock supra engine into got 26mpg in town 32 highway ran a 12.3 at 127mph and it idles smooth as can be. Just my .02 once I started working in a performance shop I started to appreciate the imports for what they can do.
