Welcome to the IHoP

Recommended Posts

so anyway, it seems my (eldest) sister has been eyeing the new (R/T, SRT8 is "too expensive") Challengers for a while now; when asked of my opinion "Yeah they look nice but you're going to be spending 30 grand on a sports car that still gets spanked by my 12 grand luxury sedan"

:tehe:

back in the gap it wasn't uncommon for the night crew to spill through 40+ pages. and they might not even be pure wh0ring like I was.

but then again money is relative; for less than 12 grand you can easily modify a whole slew of vehicles that will flat out embarrass most exotics all day every day, if you're willing to work for it

Night crew still never kicked like we did during the day. It was easy for use to kick through 100 pages in a couple hours.

You're comparing apples to oranges. What was the cost of the E when it was new? How about maintenance and insurance costs? Yeah. . .

On the strip it doesn't matter if you are racing an apple or an orange, a win is a win.

just to clarify: yes cost of ownership is probably more (haven't priced parts so I cannot say for certain) for mine, but I was speaking in terms of performance only. The 4 four doors and a bigger trunk comment was just a kick 'em while they're down comment.
