I see you live in Rhode Island. You ever hit 'the pike' over here in CT? Any pictures/video clips of your car?

I have heard of a place in CT that people have some big money races. But is'nt that close to NY?I live in north west RI.In a town called Burrilville. About 2 and a half hours from there. I can usually find a race closer like late night in Woonsocket,RI or if I'm looking for faster cars theres action down in Warwick,RI, or Fall river, and Brockton ,Mass.
But I only race my mustang at the track now. I dont think racing a 9 second car on the street is safe at all.
Thats why I'm building my 2000 T/a street car.It'll be a little slower and safer on the street. I'll be getting a ported LS6 head/ cam package and a LS6 intake in a few months. I already have the basic bolt ons including pacesetter Lt's with TSP ORY and spec St 3 clutch and nitto DR's.
Heres pics of my cars

You can almost guarantee he could have bought a nice entry-level house for what's put into that EVO. LOL

An entry level house is about 170k. That Evo has nowhere near 170k in it - the shop that built it is about 5 miles from me.

I didn't think you could even get a house on Oriental Avenue for that.

Show me a $50,000 house that can meet the public's general standard of nice entry level. I'd assume that's around that car probably cost to build.

Dude, that car probably cost more to build than $50k... it's a what... 30-35k car new? Plus paying a SHOP to do all the work the RIGHT way would be easily another 30-35k

and dude, we're not talking about orange county california here... trust me some nice houses can be had for the price of that car in different states. Where do you live dude?
