Thread: Always a crossroad, when do you draw the line?

^^^ x2.

I'm a power junkie, I can never get enough. When my car isn't safe for me on the streets, it becomes a track car. I keep debating right now whether to pull it off the streets, already. Time will tell!

When I'd rather take the girlfriend's car for a quick errand the line has been crossed.

stick to your original plan, having that much power is going to ruin the car

I have no where to talk on the subject because I will have a 500 or so hp car on low boost and clost to 700 on high boost. It is going to be street driven, titled and insured but it has so much money into it that I will rarly drive it.

This is an example of how my car will be but fully caged and what not and it is a honda.

ok that hatch is just plain sick and sooooooo much money involved. But again for those that dont have a lot of cash to spend we tend to just really not even care. I gutted out my car, weighs 2080 without me in it and i still have more to go which includes lexan quarters and back window, carbon fiber hood, and 9lb battery, all the rear seatbelts. And guess what im gonna get a second vehicle just to have for one in case i break something on this one and two just incase i need to take my daughter or wife anywhere in it. But i will still primarily drive my sentra daily like to work or wherever. And it will be a low 11 second car. Plain and simple. But not everyone can make an se-r as clean as that hatch, have soo much money into both the body and motor that they could keep it a daily driver. i mean with that hatch pushing 30psi there is no way thats on pump gas so it would have to be race gas constantly and again not everyone has the money to do that and drive it everywhere.

But hey for those that do we give them credit because dang its soooooo clean when done properly and with the money involved in it.

My car wont be that pretty but it will run. Honda guys have deep pockets and spend a lot more money on there motors compard to us. My car is fully cage but will still have all the factory glass and should weigh in the 2400 range without me in it. I want to have a fast car not the prettiest lol. I wish I could have my car weight almost 2000 pound but I wouldn't be able to do comps like BOTI and what not.

What is the point of driving a car at 30 psi that spins slick in 4th gear on the street? On street tires he would get smoked by someone with 300 whp in a light car with traction.

pretty much, when i have my 300whp in my ve i would smoke the living crap out of him on the streets for the main reason of traction, hahahaha

I dont care much on looks either. I want my car to look like a nice clean mean raceready warrior car. I want it to look and sound like it means business. hence the no exhaust when i was turbod. it wasnt overly loud at all. Matter fact i took several highway trips with no problems cruising at 80mph getting 35-37mpg easily. No loud drone like it is n/a with open header. Cut front bumper filled with a big fmic, It means business and people knew that. Hell most big bad domestics didnt even want to run me for one they would of got smoked and two they didnt want to get embarassed by an import hahaha. Hell the only guy that wanted to run me had a Z06 with intake header exhaust and a procharger at 7psi on it. He is the only one that wanted to run. haha

So i go about my car in a different way, i have clean wheels on it. I have a cut hood with an evo hood vent to keep underhood temps cool and it did its job. It didnt look the prettiest because i kinda messed up on the cut but still. it wasnt bad and i could care less. I did it for the performance of it. I want to have 300whp 300wtq on 10psi of boost and weigh in at 2000 lbs without me in it. Thats my goal for my car at the moment.

i'd just keep you car in the 500 range and call it a day. there is nothing better than driving a fast car around all the time instead of towing it everywhere.

I will one day get this car to 500whp. But I can live with "only" 400whp on pump gas

I like my radio and my power steering. I really like loading the car up with 5 people and still going out and cruising. I will put in a quiet exhaust with a cutout and it should be even more driveable.
