Well strokd that's why I said a race car... cause honestly if you have a full cage and a chute.. yeah I'm not going to consider that a street car.. requiring a drag chute for stopping. You know explaining to the cars behind you at every light.. "sorry I have to repack my chute" you may need a car to drive every day.
P.s. i know you don't use it at every light to stop. It was just funnier to say that!!

That just sounded absolutely stupid, and I know you meant to say it. The car doesn't go 160-170 on the street, and the chute detaches typically because it's not legal to drive with one, from what I've heard.

The car has been over that on public roads... the chute is for legality at the track, car has road racing brakes on it, and Ill probably never need the chute, but its good to have if I do need it. The car will be more of a street car than some claim to be, but that doesnt mean i want to drive it every day and beat it down or have it stolen.  the gas savings alone will pay for a small payment on a new Toyota. In fact, Ill be saving money. As gas continues to go up in price, the more money Ill save over driving the Mustang daily.

I meant that it's not like you'll be doing 160 and then just need to slow down immediately, which is what the shoot is for.

You always say shit like that when people start talking about fast cars, but when you talk about racing your slow car its not dick measuring. Doesn't make much sense to me

My car is the slow but, 400whp is quick enough for me. It makes perffect sense you see in the world of Edicks when one has a small one there is no need in measuring. I like all you guys rides not only because they are fast but because of the thought that went behind them. I still find measuring the ole E-dick a good pasttime.
s/n my car cant be fast..its not LS powered. LOL

I will admit the last part is trolling. The part about me being slow is absolute truth.

I've been giving this some thought as well recently. It's more of me wanting to own more cars and enjoy them than keeping miles low on my mustang. What do you guys think about getting a wrx for a daily? I've always wanted to own one and since I have the mustang I SHOULD have a car up at all times....should....

Wrx isnt bad. They do have problem area's though and finding one that hasnt been beat by a teenager might be a prob.

I wish I could afford a wrx and stang. I had a 2011 WRX, and it was awesome. Not too fast, but fast enough. AWD is awesome on the rainy/snowy days. Four doors is nice, and MPG ain't bad. However, don't like the look of the new 2014s.

Yea I don't know what they were thinking with the new wrx. No hatch, and moving to equal length headers? Does look or sound like a subaru, and on top of that it's slower than the previous year! I had a audi a4 quattro that was fun but I always wished it was a little lighter and had more power.
