Easy there young one. I agree though, I hate auto's with a burning passion.

And the 3 fastest timeslips (from cars, not bikes) on this site are all automatic....funny how that works.

I thought you said it was your boyfriend's car?

[sonic00]

yeah it is for now. he's going to the marines in two months so he's leaving it to me. he'll be gone almost a year. : ( I'm going to try to get it fixed over the summer. he's buying a different car when he gets home.

how does it always work out that as soon as someone starts getting talked about on this forum that isnt a member....becomes a member within a couple days?

[sonic00]

hey i had to stick up for my poor car everyone always rips on it. oh and you don't have to talk to me you know. my friend told me about it so i thought i'd check it out.

[capitlj]

How much is it going to cost to fix it? Is it worth it, if the answer is yes you should swap the front end from a newer one, much sexier.

[sonic00]

they want five grand to fix it . i'll do most of the work myself and found my own parts so it will knock it down to $1200. I'm looking for another one i want a V8 manual. i saw a 71 formula that i fell in love with i might see if i can get that or one like it.

[MisterCMK]

If you buy that Formula and put Chevrolet parts in it I'll have to kick your arse.

[sonic00]

lol why is that.

[sonic00]

lol why is that. The one I want has a rebuilt 400c.i. with new edelbrock carb. Headers with new 2 1/2 inch exhaust and new flowmaster mufflers. i wouldn't do anything to it unless it needed it.

Putting chevy parts in an old pontiac like that is blasphemy

autos are for people who want to go fast.... and not loose a quarter second everytime they shift...

True for those that only go in straight lines, not so much for those that like to choose the right gear for coming out of a corner. If you lose a 1/4 of a second every time you shift you have no business driving at a strip.

You don't lose a 1/4 of a second per shift, although it may take you that long to shift, your vehicle is still rolling so it you aren't losing that much time.

[sonic00]

i wouldn't put any chev parts in it lol. if i buy a car it stays true to it's name. but hey thats just me.

[sonic00]

oh are any of you guys going to the show and shine?
