Alright, its time to get things rolling again. It has been awhile since I have been to any car meets, and the weather hasn't been that bad. I have a highschool friend who owns a Detailing Shop. He has lots of room for parking, and NO PROBLEMS with the cops. He told me we can host car meets/shows on his property on a Sunday. Just need to get an idea if you guys/gals will want to do this.
ALSO, he told me to let you know that if you wanted to get your car washed he will do it for $25 CASH! If you would like this, please come earlier, like 11am'ish or before. That includes:
1. Complete hand wash
2. Clean the tires/rims with wheel dressing
3. Spray wax
4. Vacuum
5. Clean the windows
CN: We need to have meets again, and its at my friend's Detailing shop.
Here is the address:
Valhalla Detailing
60 Oceanport Avenue
Little Silver, NJ, 07739
I would like to get a head count on people DEF interested and that would like to come. This will be held on a Sunday, if you have an idea on a Sunday that will be good, let me know. I will update a list here. So who is in????

FYI:
Please respect the local speed limits. You will be driving in relative small towns with big police departments. Aslong as you obey the speed limits/laws they won't harrass you. Please don't try and rev the exhaust or make attention to yourself. Its small towns, big police departments, expensive houses, so just think what kind of cops they have. Aslong as your driving nicely, they are fine with everybody. Nothing to be scared about, just letting you know.
THE LIST!! -Midnit -M.K. STI -CKSTI -|AciD| -PartySTi -Chinky_Sti -Chinky_Sti's Friend -Renns -Mac323 -Fulcrum019 -Billy (Aka the Biggest NooB ever) -Donnie -Wreckless Hype -Subadrifta06 -Subadrifta06's friend -Vnasty86 -MacSTi
Equalizing the power via weight using the old addage of 100 lbs = -10hp, we get to knock 90hp thanks to 900 lbs of extra weight. 425hp - 90hp = 335hp. Seeing as a Cobb Stage 2 STI is claimed at 345hp, this makes things pretty close. But factoring the driveline losses of AWD as compared to the driveline losses of RWD - I would still put my money on a stock SRT8 for a highway run. Assuming the kid can produce a dynosheet proving he's got more power on tap then stock, I think he should be given a chance to prove that his transmission is not allowing a manual downshift.
Oh, and feel free to chime in with the "run what you brung" type logic if you feel the need for a crutch. I'm not denying that the kid lost the race, I'm simply stating that I think his transmission "woes" have merit.
Eh, he seemed pretty young. It seemed to me that he would fall into the category of "Mom/Dad with the financial assist FTW!". Not that there is anything wrong with that, hell I wish my folks had the resources to hook me up at a young age with a sweet car. Then again, I appreciate what I have more for working to earn it.
Bill, I have no doubt your car would kill that Magnum SRT8.
Re: Car Meet/Show in Central NJ!!! Jan 27th @ 1PM!
^He is very young, he doesn't even own the car really, he shares it with his MOM! He drives a Jeep Cherokee when the weather is bad and shares the Magnumn with his mom. Bill your car will take a dump on his car without any problems.
Micah, let me know if you want to meet up this week for the $ drop.

Yeah, where has that cop been these days? LOL, you should come next week after the game.
Returning to the topic of SRT-8 Magnum...I think it would have been closer had the STI been stock. But then again, I believe the SRT-8 wasn't stock either so enh. Maybe he needs to get his tranny fixed, or maybe he shoudl jsut drive a car with a manual trans. Whatever, I think the SRT-8 is a pretty solid family wagon with added pep. My only complaint against that kid's car was the excessive use of stickers/emblems all over the back. A little too much adversiting of parts and it's gaudy. He shoudl probably just debadge everything off of it.
I'd be up for a meet the weekend after the superbowl. Maybe I'll get her detailed this time.

Upping the ante on hair, I'll see your
and do one better
mwahahahaa
It's temporary, I've got court on Feb 13th for my little speeding incident. It's probably not wise to show up in court with more than a slight resemblance to an old wrestler.
Re: Car Meet/Show in Central NJ!!! Jan 27th @ 1PM!
Spray on tan? Terrible.
Meet next week, not this week. Good stuff.
Micah, perhaps get rid of the hair before your court appearance. You look like one of two things:
1. Tech Geek who I worked alongside with at CompUSA back in high school
2. Angry plumber.
Re: Car Meet/Show in Central NJ!!! Feb 17th @ 1PM!
I will be able to make it if I don't have work next weekend.
I get my schedule tommorow.
