- Thread starter Hawaii Predator

I drive:
1) 1979 Impala Landau Coupe with a 305ci. 30 mpg and really reliable. My first car and the only one I bought new when I graduated from high school. Still my everyday driver in the summer.
2) 1965 4 door Parklane with 390ci bored 30 over with magnaflow exhaust, about 350 hp and gets 15 mpg highway.
3) 1958 Edsel ranger with the 361 FE engine, 300 hp, 12 mpg highway (ouch).
4) 1978 Eldorado, 425 ci with quadrajet carb, 180 hp, 20 mpg.
5) 1953 Chevy Bel Air with 235 inline 6 and 3 on the tree, 30 mpg.
6) 1953 Chrysler New Yorker with the 330 ci hemi, 180 hp (project).
7) 1996 Dodge Ram 1500 with the 5.2 litre (312 ci) engine, 20 mpg everyday and winter driver.
I love cars! (and fish and stereo equipment and ...)

We only have an 1/8th mile "track" here and I have a friend with a new SI and its no contest. I think its cause I have 165tq to the wheels stock and with the UDP and SRI my seat of my pants o'meter tells me that it now has a good bit more then stock vs the SI with like 145tq stock. A longer run may be different.
Stock both cars run between 15-15.5 1/4mi so I dont see why not if my car is lightly modded?
Then again he might just suck at driving?! I also like my car cause its pretty rare. Ive only seen three in person!I cant wait to test drive the new Ralliarts! AWD and turbo! Running lo to mid 13s stock. Too bad they will just be offering CVT and no manual.
Even if the CVT is faster, driving is much more thrilling IMO when it takes all four limbs to control the car!
The new SI is no slouch. I've had plenty of seat time in a few ranging from bone stock to breathing better. For the money, you can't beat them, IMO. Stock for stock, they hang with the MKV GTI pretty well.
The new Evo...now there's a car I hated at first but fell in love with. I may pick up an Evo 8 or 9 before winter and leave it stock, versus the project cars I've had in the past.

The new SIs are no slouch and are definately nicer and better built then my car, I was just curious as to why you thought what you did when they make comparable numbers stock and mine is modded lightly?
Id love the Evo but Id need to take out a loan to pay the insurance. Im curious to find out how insurance will be on the new AWD turbo ralliarts. Insurance for my ralliart isnt bad but then again it isnt turbo or AWD! I think my next car (when I have money) is going to be an M3 or 335Xi. Something about a 4-door 300hp turbo AWD luxury family sedan that can roll when asked is just appealing to me!
My car is still in the shop and Ive been driving a 99 suburban with 300K on the clock for the last few weeks. I drove my girls focus the other day and compared to the suburban it felt like a go-kart, I cant wait to hop in my car and feel the difference!
