yeah it's 1/8 mile. the only thing we have in this pathetic city. closest 1/4 is like an hour away.
8.2@93 is damn fast for a dodge colt....

yeah it only saw 1 1/4 mile track once and it popped a I/C off and coasted the last few hundred feet ran a 12.8@115mph on street tires. I think with some slicks It may have touched low 12 high 11s. on that run it did 8.0@90 and hit over 115 mph and slowed down some when the IC cupler popped off.

it was running 22psi on race fuel though.

hmm... well iv noticed that almost every time im at a car show/meet theres at least 1 person who comes up to my car and asks what size rims r those? or compliments me on my rims in general. basically my rims made my car lol

aslo on the road i when im at a light i catch ppls eyes berried into my rims every now and then.

i was in a bk lot at night wit a few of my budds eating and talking by our cars and a cop rolled, circled my car ( i thought he was gona start giving me **** about my tints or HIDs or something) rolled down his window and said wow could those rims get any bigger, looks good tho kid and drove away

also once and ill never forget it. i pullin out of the train station parking lot and there was a Rav4 rolling up to a red light with 5 ppl in the car. the entire car was hard body staring at my car and the driver almost rear ended the car in front of him

all and all, needless to say, i have to give all the credit to my rims tho haha

Some attention is good, some bad. One time I went to pick up my sister from school and I parked across the street as usual. The car was aired down, I step outside to smoke a cig and while I wait a group of kids walked by and kept looking at it and one of them asked me if I was a drug dealer:facepalm:. I have came across 2 older people while pumping gas directly across from them that complimented the car and mention they use to own a similar one and how much they loved it. Cops give me bad attention, I been pulled over twice for no reason at all. The first time he just ran my license and checked for insurance, the second one was a real **** who threatened to take me in because "I match the description of a wanted criminal." Real *******, first question out of his mouth was where did I get the car from, second was if I had any drugs in the car. Kept me there close to 30 mins for absolutely no reason at all, I know he was racially profiling because if he cared to do his job at all he would have noticed that my inspection sticker had been expired for many months and written me a ticket but he didn't even mention it. Not much attention from chicks since I'm usually with my own haha, or maybe I just don't notice. All my friends love my ride and most are looking forward to what is gonna be done in the next couple of months. It's a neck breaker when I'm at the light or at a gas station thats for sure.

my car gets a lot of attention... where i work, our customers park on the lower lot-where i park... i can see my car at all times. i see guys roll up to my car, park and snap shots of it through the front window or jump out and take pics. while driving, i see eyes watching me through their rear view mirrors, or look back at the stop light, or where and when ever... my car just sticks out like a sore thumb, let alone the color stands out enough... and my exhaust is bigger than those you find on diesel trucks, and my rims poke out like a mexican lowrider.... so yeah, my car gets its share of attention...

If it's not another LS400 owner, or my neighbor who drives three LS'.... I get none. :P

My friends absolutely love my 1993 LS (always choose riding in it over a buddy's 2002 Q45, and another buddy's 2000 E-Class)... but that's because they're not allowed in the 2007 LS
