Supercoupe is a decent car, however the 3.8L ford DID have issues with head gaskets...issue was the supercoupe's very restrictive exhaust.
While all of this is true, the NA 3.8l in general in everything from the Mustang's to Windstar's had issues with head gaskets in stock form. Ford actually had a recall on them from what I remember.

watch out there maybe a potential 11sec DSM running around there...there used to be a TT supra too -
Yes and no. IMO the race dates were WAY to spread out for the buzz to get going in the import community this season. Add to that lots of people having mechanical problems and whatnot and I don't think the racing at the track was as good as it could have been.
Overall though, I think the scene has matured. Still a ways to go of course, but more mature none the less. Lots of people adding more go fast parts the way it seems and people actually are starting to not drive like idiots on public roads. The show scene was pretty good this year as many of us attended the Tintmasters show as well as shows in Devils Lake, Winnipeg, and Mpls among other places.
All in all a good year for cars and car people, but a bad year for racing.

The Supra is gone and the Dsm I am not sure about. But like I said 10cars at best. Besides Smalls hatch, which is in the cities now, there really isnt any import cars here. Cavaliers and the local beat up bitch cars that everyone has owned from time to time that will never run.
The sad thing is, that most of these kids wont even go and race, most will just rev on you and tell you there stock Prelude runs 14.5 stock and talk mad uneducated shit.Cant wait to get out of this Shit Hole.

I think the last fast Dsm in Bismarck was Nick Thompsons old one??? White? If I remeber correctly.
3 owners later and It probally still doesn't have a transmission in it.
Its hilarious when someone even buys a fast car somewhere else, cause no one here can fix, or tune the damn thing ever. -

So did the scene get better this year?(Dead thread reincarnation, I was talkin with Jim about this one about half an hour ago)
Wouldn't hurt to start working on this problem now so we can look forward a decent summer and maybe spark some interests. Everyone should list best places and why they think that, and try not to shoot down any possibilities because options are very limited.
its a blue 1Gb talon
