    Got my first kill with the 69 Skylark last night. Took it to the gas station to fill it up. Shortly after I started pumping a new model Ford Focus with a black carbon fiber hood w/ scoop, oversized wheels, fart can exhaust, and loud sterio system pulls up. Guy must've been really proud of this car, he got out and wiped dust off the hood with his shirt sleeve. Heh.. While he's filling up he keeps eying the skylark. Gotta admit, my car looks like a piece of crap compared to his.. front and rear tires dont match, seats are torn, cars dented and a bad paint job.

    Anyways, he ends up filling up before I do. He gets in his car, puts it in neutral (stick sift) and revs it a couple times while looking my way. I figured why not? I start the buick and let it idle for a few moments, loving the open headers and lumpy idle (large cam in the 350). Rev it up a moment later, then look over and ask if he wants to race. He simply shakes his head and drives off! God I loved that. :Brow: :bla:

    Of course if he knew the transmission in the Skylark was slipping it would've been a different story, but still. :laugh:

    binaryeyes Oh where can my 'Lark be?

    Haha Niiice. It's funny when the sound of your car can scare someone into not racing...I bet that feeling is great! I can't wait 'till I get mine!!

    I think it's a kill.

    That's the only way I get kills with the X. In 5 years only a few cars have actually challenged me on the street (probalbly a good thing.) Dam# that TA413 cam and 3 inch exhaust!

    I'd say it's mild, probably around 400hp but it would sure as hell scare off anyone with a 4 banger...I can't wait

  12. Why do people think Focuses are fast? I think there are only a few fast 4 cyl. cars, EVO's, Jetta GLI's, STI's, and Neon STR-4's, and all those cars have turbos!

    There are some fast 4 bangers out there but most of the cars you see with fart cans out back ARE "fast"...17 seconds fast

    My son Vinny (15) was talking to the kid (25 years old) breaking a horse for a friend of ours when we were out at the stables where my daughter keeps her horse.

    Keep in mind Vinny has seen enough track action over the past 5 years to call times out within a half second of a car or bike going down the track before they post them. He gets a kick out getting in on the action of the $1.00 betting going on in the stands. He remembers exactly what cars ran much better than I do so I won't bet with him anymore.

    They were talking cars, my son was telling him about our cars and the T that runs low 11's. We'll this kid pipes up and says his Focus could run 9's right out of the box with minor mods. Vinny says that 9's in the 1/8 are pretty good out of that car. The kids gets indignant and says 1/8 mile are you crazy I'm talking 1/4's. Vinny looks at me with this grin and just says wow. He comes over to me and mutters "what a maarooooon"
