Default 2 ideas, maybe already pondered

1.
First is there already a local club called: Reno Area Car Enthusiast(R.A.C.E!)
If not then it would be pretty wicked if we all jumped on this and made a website and all that crap. We already have this doink but that's just and option.

2.
And I believe none of the people on here have a G-tech or similar portable horsepower calculator. You guy'gals seem like reasonable people I would not be opposed to "Chip in" to a fund and buy one so we can all use it, and talk about real numbers when we are at our meets. But who would keep it, we are all adults here we could figure something out.

word to your mother.

just some stuff I was thinking about at work, my job is SO boring I come up with thsi crap all day long. I was also thinking that next time somebody does an install we could get together and help them and learn a lot in the process, I think you guys might already do that.

BTW: Where are thjose other people we told about doink they should be here, this kind of laziness will not be tolerated!

I am going to install my front grill, radiator shroud, and few smaller parts. Your welcome to watch the super difficult process involved.

Was one of the guys named Theo? I see his name on the member list, now.

Hi Theo -- see you out in Stead soon. Are you going to drive the WRX, or the project car?

We played with it back when my car was stock. Only did 0-60-0 runs... somthing like 6.2 sec / 130 feet, I don't really remember. I suck at launching.

I should take it out again, but we always forget to grab it on the way out the door.

I would like to try it with my automatic and see what my 0-60-0 is. I have always been surious, since Car and driver and car-stats.com said its 0-60 in 6.8 seconds.

I read over nasioc that stock automatics with proper launch can get 6.1 - 6.3's.
