friend of mine has this

(not that one, but same car.. 79 4 door dodge aspen)
hes got a viper engine in it.
all the gauges are under the wheel.. you cant see them..
0 tint hes got 3 inch exhaust that goes all the way to the back, and stop under the bumper where you cant see them.. he has a reg exhaust pipe sticking out..
its stripped down to pretty much nothing.. its that engine and your ass pretty much.
and ofcourse would eat all the gear heads in this thread with out hittin 4th gear.
youd never see him commin and would put your pinkslip up at a redlight in a heart beat.
you know you would.
and you would get beat.
so.. in a nutshell.. listen to nick.. listen to me.. accept the fact that tons of people will smoke your car.. as honestly 300 hp isnt that fast.
i drove a 800 hp supra in fl not 2 years ago, and that guys dumped another 10k in that since last i rode with him.
and his supra looks stock like a champ..
