Re:new car
Johnny I cant see you driving that thing.. lol, oh well
That Camaro has been sitting in your garage for like 2 years only needing a clutch, it baffles me why you wouldnt buy a clutch and finish that? I thought that thing was like a 12second car, wouldnt you rather be driving that?

Re:new car
I've worked on those shitty corollas before.. maybe not the hyped model but I remember it was a 1.5 litre single carb pile of ----.. but whatever floats your boat dude.
Yes the IROC cars have some known problems. The early years of the 4L60 truly sucked, especially in that 84ish era. I forget what the rear ends were, some crappy 12 bolt?
Anyways, IROC cars are cheap and plentifull in arkansas but I just prefer to drive a 4x4 truck instead :P

Re:new car
the ae86 would never be a good drag car without a lot of money, they are very slow! a guy around here has a nice one with a lot of money in to the engine and i think he puts down 100 hp to the wheels, they are popular and well liked b/c of drifting, they're really light and rear wheel drive, you see plenty on the drifting courses, but not on the drag strip

Re:new car
you all hate on toyotas 
my freinds 3sge we swaped into his mr2 was running 15psi daily and 20 at the strip and it took him like 4 months of tottaly raping it to blow that ****** up. it was just a stock toyota motor that cost 500 dollars.
if you put a toyota motor with bucket valves in it make sure you dont rev to redline all the time. they drop valve shims but its pretty hard to get them to do that.
buy it and have fun with it. expecialy if its like 300 dollars. that could be an invesement you could part that bitch out on toyota fourms.
