no not that one. this car may surprise you...what kind of 1/4 mile time do you run in your car???do you get any traction on the street? depends on ur definiton of streetable, yea he drives it every once in awhile to where hes gotta go usually where he races. the place where they race is like a half an hour ride sometimes usually like 20-25 miuntes. so i guess its streetable because he drives it there, races it and then drives it home. it sounds like any other gn you see driving the streets but it can gitty up and go.

yea its kinda dangerous but fun all the same. when you mean single digits you into 8's, or low 9 nines. do you get really good traction?if so id think u were into the 8's. if u r in the nines not the 8's i think hed definatly race if not this winter then when it starts to get warm out. are your torque #'s better then your horsepower #'s by far??

i dont know what he runs for quarter mile i never really asked. he isnt too much into track racing he races on the street, but he finds the streets that are so long and smooth its insane cuz our streets are smooth 1 in a million. but this car has like no wheel spin wat so ever. its insane on how hard this car launches for a six cylinder. so your more towards low 8's or high 8's??
Most of them are Turbo-charged ??, it sounds like a twin-turbo may have got ya, thats not direspect, they do get up and move out..I had one leave me for dead on a country road...dont take it too hard.
Plus I got edged out by my friends F***ing BMW several times...now that sucks !

all the mk4's come either twin turbo'd or n/a. then they usually change to a big single turbo conversion and pump out easy 800 horse to the wheels. they are sick..

well i have a love for the american muscle and so called jap muscle... i dont care what it is if its nice and looks good then ill hop in it... my mustang (which is my dream car since i was a like 12) is a badass that will tear up any ricer where I live, but I also have a lil ricer (bought to change... "sleeper" :) ) any how I get a lot of respect just b/c I love any car thats nice and have both an american muscle car and a ricer... IN NO WAY AM I TRYING TO ARGUEE... just stating my opinion

p.s i'd take a supra any day whether it be blown or n/a :)
If American cars were perfect, Imports would not have flourished.
I have seen "riced out Civics", I have seen "riced out" BMW's & I have defintaely seen "riced out" Mustangs.
Dont let your pride get in the way of thinking straight...a nice quick/fast car is a good way to commute or spend a free day playing...regardless as to the model/make.
I have had American, Jap & German..all have merit. Put your mind at ease, there is always a faster cars than yours, dont lie to yourself.
