Haha nice man, how much $$?
And you are so right about having a beater, I miss my ol 88 Tercel 4-speed. SO trouble-free, I never had to worry about keeping it clean, or fixing every little thing. I only had to remeber to put in another quart of oil every week

Hehe, nice little beater ya got there! 
You said it traps higher than most trans-ams, camaros, wrx's ect though... my 99 camaro ss, when it was stock.. trapped 110.. had a little factory freak now it traps about 20mph faster with the aid of many parts 
Must be nice with a little 30 shot though, i bet your bottles last forever... i dont get much use out of mine spraying a 150+ shot...

I think the car itself is probably only worth like $750-$1000.

Your car must be pretty mean to be trapping 130ish... The way f-bodys 60-ft that is probably a low 10 sec pass isn't it?!

Mine should be mid 10's on a 150 shot of the juice... Mid 11's N/A. Ive got a few small things to work out. I cant get a good 60 foot to save my life with this stock rear end though... ive blown 4 of them.. course.. i was sidestepping the clutch at 5k rpm launching on nitrous, lol! i blew another one on the street, just messin around with the juice. Since my daily driver is broke, and im tryin not to put miles on the bike so i can sell it, ive been daily drivin a 10 second car.. and let me tell you, this thing is loud.. longtube headers, no cats, and true dual 3 inch piping to dumps before the axle
Maybe someday ill ditch the stock engine for something beefier..

Daily driving beaters is almost even more fun though
Funny quote from the guy I bought this car from... "It's fun to drive a car that, even when you lose the race, the other guy really still doesn't win".

Ethan has a point about "daily beaters"... I mean we all wear "wife beaters" why not drive a daily beater..lol
All jokin aside ... my non work related "homies" all drive beaters.... One of my fellaz drives an s55 or something like that and whips around daily in his 87 honda accord lxi with 230k.....Even hittin the clubs in it.. (if u pull a sweetie u know she ain't after your ride)...lol
Funny but I whip the minivan around daily and leave both lexus's at home many a time...
For me and my boyz its a "hood thing" ... gotta keep a bucket in the drive way...
On the DL/// (down low) ... for you single guys... beaters are a great way to "creep" without being seen. Everybody knows your hooked up whip so the beater allows you to be "inconspicuous" (spelling?) Plus the ladies never key up your "main" ride when u get busted... lol
Disclaimer.. BTW I am currently a devoted husband and father.. this info is from waaaaaayyyyyy back..
