I'm talking quarter mile racing (as in what's happening this friday night!)...
Now the misunderstanding makes sense;
I thought you at first misunderstood that I was thinking of buying one of those GA's,
then I thought you were implying the Accord was faster than those GA's...
that's why you maybe thought I was getting excited... (which i wasn't - I was shocked that you seemed to suggest the accord was faster than the GA's)
But back to the bracket racing;
I have an old friend that bracket (as in quarter mile) races, and has for several years;
he's been teasing me into doing the same - occasionally I turn up for bracket events, but normally only last a couple rounds in the GA (mostly because it's a stick, and it's harder to be consistant with a manual transmission though)...
This car's an auto;
This car has parts I could use on another car (but would need to see it in person to verify);
This car's solid;
This car's a decent price;
I've got a 455 I've been itching to use for a little while now...
EDIT:
I've also got a spare 12 bolt posi with decent gears in it that I've been itching to use...
the real question would be this;
After I did a mild built on the 455 (using only pars I have around the garage) and swapped in the 12-bolt rear end;
would I be faster on my first run than both the GA & the Cobalt!?!
...the potential is there;
it would al come down to hooking up, suspension, and the torque converter (if I let it shift itself).

My paint is swirled and scratched I hate seeing it. I'm scared to find out how much a full detail will cost. I think I just gotta wait for a while.

rc was awsome last night, thx to everyone who showed up. as in typical rc style times were a lil slow but still a great night... staged cars seem to be running mid 14's, and non staged were running low 15's. wheel hop, and blowing the second gear shift was the story of the night. dude 411 where were you???? how come you didnt come over and visit??? khase it was great to meet you... as for my man jade!!!! you were a animal last night.... great to see you again... well jonathan and myself were the last to leave and we happened to meet a redline owner. if i remember correct his name was alex... hope to see him come around the forums. he was a real casual guy... as for the rest of you that was a blast we need to do that more often... btw for all those who chickened out!!!!! LOL hahahaha there is no excuses boys!!!!!! i went on a very questionable front strut problem and still raced. besides the best punishment for all who didnt show up was missing the fun we had.... next time pull up your skirts and race.
