Car stuff

It's funny — the two fastest cars in The Fast And The Furious were barely featured. There was of course the 900HP blown Dodge Charger that somehow almost has a 95 Toyota Supra keep up with it at the end of the movie in a straightline drag, but more interestingly, there's a Kelmark sitting on top of the speed shop! MiL0 was none too happy with my excited gesturing during the movie — “that's my car! that's my car!”

Saira's father has volunteered to work on my Kelmark since I don't have time… Below is a friend's — his runs easily runs a sub-ten second quarter mile. He's probably pushing more HP than mine — he's running a twin-turbo 355, and I've just got a 350 putting out probably around 360 HP… But he's running a modified VW pan and a Toranado tranny, whereas I'm running a proper monocoque mid-engineering chassis, so I'll outhandle him easily…

(The sort of ugly yellow one is mine, and the red one is Chris's).

Wow Shannon, that's really annoying! What is it, 1997 on Geocities? Retroweb is NOT cool!
