I'm sure your car NA would still be much faster than my car NA, every time I save up some kind of money to invest in F/I something comes up like having to pay for books for school, or paying for my ex's Jeeps front end to get fixed because she slammed into the back of a semi truck like an idiot and her parents said they'd only pay for half so being the good boyfriend I was I paid the other half so she could have a car. And then she cheated on me and left me but that's a whole different story lol.

I'm just hoping by spring I'll have enough, but I say that every year now

My car is a $hitbox man, I think its getting ready to spin a bearing, I have what I believe is the start of rod knock, FML

Add resonated test pipes and a tune and your car will be an animal. My car with a similar setup ran 13.1 @ 107mph and that was with a weaksauce launch. Id go rape E46 M3's from rolls, they couldnt believe it. Ahh the good old days.

Lol your first response makes me not want to go F/I, thanks for the advice on the test pipes though, one of these days I'm going to make my way down to R/T tuning and get my car tuned. I've just been so busy recently, haven't had much time to do anything.

Of course wait until after you get TP's to tune. Ive been thru like 3 sets, spend a little extra coin and get resonated pipes so your Z wont sound like a fart can.

Yeah I know, I was being a bit reckless but that stretch of road is really wide and barely anyone is ever one it. I've wanted to go up to Maple Grove for awhile now but with me still being in school it would be hard to take a whole day or even long weekend trip to race on what they call Grudge Nights.

I just Mapquested both and MapleGrove is a bit closer to me.

Cecil County: Your trip is 1 hour 33 minutes / 78.10 miles

MapleGrove: Your trip is 51 minutes / 33.11 miles

Pretty sure MapleGrove is closed for the winter though so I wouldn't be going there anytime soon.
