I could be wrong too lol...potownrob wrote:I think pontiacracer's are fast and cheap. Haven't heard much about Fieros being reliable and GM wasn't putting out the best quality cars back then, but I could be wrong .
i got the sig from what my friend told me when i was buying my first car. i wanted a cheap hotrod. he asked if i was going anywhere far from home, i said of course, my family is 300 miles away. my sig is what he replied to that comment.

Wow sorry, never checked this thread. I was gone for a while and just came back to posting on this forum. Yeah it's all street legal, I just swap the tires for the stockers. I don't go to the drags much, kinda short on cash now, my dad helped me pay for most of the stuff in there.And it is still "street legal," eh?

I agree. A friend of mine almost killed me one night at the street races. I had my car parked at the 1/4 mile mark. A mini-van turned out in front of him and another guy while they were racing. He tried to stop but locked up the skinnies. His car headed towards mine and missed me by LESS THAN AN INCH. I dont like skinnies on the street...LS1Leader wrote:You mean, with them slicks and skinnies he got there?
I've heard of people crazy enough to drive with skinnies on the street... Those wheels weren't meant to be driven on the street, and I've heard of a few cracking and failing because of it.
