I have a few more to add...
Pro: 1 SL500: 0
Pro: 1 M-coupe: 0
Both cars are my friends dad's... richies thought they had the best of my little 4 cyl.. now if I could only find some traction.. time to get some nice coil overs to take care of it...

The BMW M-coupe is a 2000 and runs a 14.2 in the 1/4 and I took him all the way to 100.. then the benz runs a 14.93 in the 1/4 and I took it all the way to 80 before the radar detectors started screaming

Sure you can beat a WRX, but only on the street, It could take as long as half a mile and maybe up to 5th gear.
My ladder:
P5T: 3 vs Celica GTS Stock: 0 (2@Track)
P5T: 1 vs Tiburon V6 Stock: 0
P5T: 1 vs Tercel nitrous: 0
P5T: 1 vs Civic Si: 0 (track)
P5T: 2 vs 2 Mustangs 5L: 0
P5T: 1 vs Mustang 4.5L: 0
P5T: 0 vs 12sec WRX: 1 (track)
P5T: 1 vs Heavily Modded Integra: 0
all pulls made @ 7.5psi

igdrasil.. sweet kills! I'm running at about 10psi.. with a tt motorsports turbo (company here in FL).. its capable of 15PSI but the engine and tranny at the moment aren't capable of it.. it cost me hell compared to the flyinmiata kit I had before.. I run a 14.010 with at least 500 pounds worth of stereo.. haha oh so every time I accelerate the back tips down and the front comes up and i lose traction.. but sweet kills! what do you run in the 1/4 it must be hella fast too

hell man, Ive always had crappy times on the track. Never done better than 2.6 on the 60ft. All cars Ive raced get 3 cars ahead on starts, but then I pull by the 1/8. Too much wheelspin.15.1 is my best time. Ive only raced like 5 times.
Ah..dont forget my stock clutch slipping on 3rd and 4rth.
With all that, I have nice kills on the street.
