I haven't seen that car around. I'm actually in Burlington, NC, which is a podunk town. I've grown up about racing and cars my whole life. This is by far the nastiest thing I've ever owned. I'll race anything, including bikes from a roll. A dig is a different situation. I weigh 3800lbs, so I don't move worth a poo poo till the turbo's kick in. I ran the 1/8th the other night, on 17lbs of boost (can run 32) I went 6.32 at 123 on those Invo's you see on the car. When I run past time, I'm hoping to hit about a 9.60 or so on those Invo's. I'm not going to turn the boost up, just leave it around 17.

Here are a few others, I don't have pics loaded up for most:



63 dodge 9 passenger 880 station wagon. Has dual AC's, 2 gas tanks and a 413 with push button trans.



66 dodge A100 van. Everyone needs a Scooby Doo van. Slant 6 / 3 Speed and a ton of fun



NHRA/IHRA Super Stock avenger. In the middle of doing a new motor for it now. Also have a 67 Coronet Station wagon that is IHRA legal, being made into an NHRA car. Just bought a 70 challenger to build an NHRA/IHRA stocker from the ground up. Throwing a motor into a 72 duster we have to get it ready for IHRA this summer. I just sold a 59 dodge wagon on ebay, have a 71 440 demon going on end of week. Got a few other cars around, but I'm not one much for pictures.

HIDs were not offered as an option on Legacy GTs. The RX330 projectors were retrofitted into the Legacy headlight housings in order to do a proper light upgrade. It's a very popular retrofit procedure for a bunch of different cars.

Thanks! There are a select few down in the 10's, and anything with a pulley/tune and a decent tire is in the 11's. It's the exact same principals as modding an 03/04 Cobra, just way more expensive.

I ran a 12.35 @ 114 on my third hotlap pass on a humid 85 degree day, with a 7.96 @ 89 1/8th mile. Bone stock, including tires, 1.82 60'. Race weight with me in it is somewhere around 4,400 to 4,500 pounds. I'll hit the 1/4 again in October/November when it's cold out and see if I can get a low low 12.

I bought it because it was 2006 GTO/100,000 mile C5 Vette money, has 4 doors, is nice and comfy, and will run right next to a C6 Vette until you have to go around a corner. The V12 TT cars are even nastier. An S65(even bigger and heavier than an E55) will walk away from the E.

Here's my car;
It's an S14 Silvia with RB30DET engine. Probably puts out around 250kw but haven't dyno'd it yet. Engine still being run-in, will have a final tune done in just over a month, looking for about 300kw which should be easy peasy.
Since these pics I've done a half assed paint job but need to go over it again properly but it looks a lot tidier. Also taken off all the stupid window stickers. Just slowly doing some prep work. Gonna be gloss black.

Its not quite a dent, it just slightly goes inward at that point. Is there anything I can do about it?

edit: In the pic it looks like someone took a hammer to it but its very subtle in person, no marks of any kind so Im not sure what couldve caused it.

My guess is an SUV/truck backed into it. It looks exactly like the dent on my Legacy that was made by a Suburban in a parking lot, except it's maybe 2" higher on your car.
