A time to kill?
[updated:LAST EDITED ON 24-Aug-02 AT 00:38 AM (EST)]Although my primitive instinct does point to kill, we may have an intellegent, "Trojan", if you will. As Alan suggested, if that thing is as fast as those stripes would have us beleive, then wouldn't it be funny to not only beat, but now confuse and mystify the rice boys? I think he may be onto something. He can go to the Nopi Nationals, and rip off 11's on street tires with a little cam and a lot of gear. Wow, a most impressive mod sheet that totals a whopping $1500, as opposed to the $20,000 that the pizza delivery boys are spending on Acuras nowadays.

I was hoping you were refering to the movie with the Italian female assassin, or was that killing time? Either way, tricked again. What the... is that some kind of sick joke?:

lol, if that car was to come in my town, all the local (Ford) gear-heads would surely take a chance on imprisonment to rid the world of the (CENSORED) who did that to an otherwise decent Mustang...

The import rule of thumb is that a sticker is worth 5 hp. So an actual Honda badge must be worth atleast 10hp and put it on a V8 I would guess thats an easy 20hp. This guy was smart by putting 2 Honda badges on his Stang he gain easily 40hp. He should have gotten the Type-R ones, I bet they are worth even more.

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 26-Aug-02 AT 02:09 PM (EST)]The talk about racing Hondas reminds me of Joe Morgan's turbo Pinto - I managed to dig up the link:
http://www2.rothfam.com/joe/
Further down the page it has a pic and a link to the pages of a write-up from Hot Rod magazine. I happened to remember it because I know he was competing in the import drags - they had to allow him to compete because his engine was cast in Brazil, and he almost always won. A 10-second, 4-cylinder Pinto beating up on a few imports...that's something I'd pay to see.
Edited to add: being a truck site, I should also mention that there is also a link on that page to a write-up about his turbo Ranger pickup.
