^ same for me. I need "spin the tires, kick you out of your seat" power, not just handling. I love the look of those cars though, if the numbers were a little higher I would've jumped on it.

HR with that crazy rev match thing...stalled it a bunch of times & looked like a tool doing it...something to get used to with modern manuals.

The 26 grand $ base model will do, with a supercharger/turbo kit for the extra 4000-6000 $, oughta pin you back in your seat pretty good. If that don't do it, let me point you to a 0 miles GTR with AMS Alpha Omega kit......1200+ hp in street trim. GOAT!

Looking ahead at the forecast, I'm seeing a 30% chance of scattered thunderstorms, and 79°. Zach, I think we could take advantage of the wet conditions and have a little drifting contest.

I don't think that I have ever had a car where the filter was down that low.. I've got the stock 4x4 suspension on mine.. I kinda like it, gives it more of a muscle look I'm thinking tomorrow is a good day to change my oil for the first time Royal Purple here I come!

Royal Purple is super over rated and way over priced. Shell Rotella is where it's at if you're making big power. You're not, just run some off the shelf synthetic and a good filter.

This is going to be quite a large meet....

That being said, those who are regulars at the meets know how we are/behave. For everyone coming for the first time, absolutely no asshattery will be tolerated.

With this many cars, I don't want to attract any unwanted attention. I'm all for a big meet and Celica bretheren, but if we have problems, Daniel and I will be forced to lock this meet back down to 6GC.

Zack and Daniel, this includes you. I don't care how big you think your wangs are becuase you show up in RWD vehicles, I'll throw your asses out for doing burnouts.





























Tokyo Drifting is ok though

I don't have enough decals or Ebay wings on my Z for Tokyo Drifting. DK would pwn me. I'm not even planning on driving that hard on rt 71. There's no telli g how much silt and sand is left in the road from all the rain, plus my fro t tires aren't the greatest. Seems like every time a Z wrecks, it either gets air time or becomes a tree sweater and I'd rather not do either.




Nope.

WELL NOW! that looks NOTHING like the movies at all.
You're telling me that Tokyo Drift isn't based on real life events and I shouldn't go attempt the things they do in the movie right after watching it????

haha I'm with daniel on this one.. roads may be too risky, besides I haven't pushed the limits of the Mustang yet on handling. I know it does better than either of my old celicas, but I am NOT going to test it out on RT71... walls of death and trees... nope! (although a burnout WILL come later... after the meet is done and over with.)

Zach, are you bringing some burgers too? I'm trying to figure out how much meat to buy. I think everything else is taken care of. I don't see charcoal, foil for the grille, or grilling utensils but I could have sworn I saw them on an earlier revision of the list. Looks like its down to a 20% chance of rain so we should be good.

I'll bring a bag for you to run over, no I am bringing a bag anyway. It's been sitting around here forever, if I don't use it I'll just leave it there for whomever uses the grills next.
