LOL, I was at the track with my Turbo '00 GT Grand Prix. Street trim (10psi boost, street 18" Toyo tires) So I get lined up with this old Vega with a rowcage, slicks, motor hanging out of the hood etc. Three lights start flashing, both of us get .56X lights he pulls me by like 4 car lengths. 1/8 mile comes I start to catch back up. I will let the slip speak for itself.

Mine 12.51 @ 117 mph ;)
His 12.6x @ 108 mph

LOL.... OWNED. :D

Please tell me you have a website for that car!

Btw, I'm selling my Stealth and Grand Marquis (http://moojohn.com/stealth/mercury) to get a Chrysler 300C as soon as the AWD models are available. Hopefully Oct-Nov!

Maybe someone will have forced induction for them by then :)

Please, please, PLEASE tell me you're only joking and you're not seriously going to sell that awesome Stealth to get an f'in Chrysler 300! :eek:


Nice kill Beek, that car sounds like one hell of a sleeper. I would like to know more about it as well.

Of course I don't want to sell it, but it makes financial sense. I'll save $4-500 a month by condensing to one car. The Stealth isn't a good daily driver (I'm gettin' old) and the Mercury isn't fun enough to be an only car. The 300C runs 14.1 @ 101 (and probably faster w/ AWD) and I'm sure there will be plenty of mods. I'm going to test-drive the next Hemi that arrives at the dealership to make certain it's the car I want.

And I can't wait to see a 400+ hp Grand Am. That's fast enough to embarrass a lot of well-modded Supras. Talk about a sleeper!
