I think thats a good pic, i'll have more pics later

Monte is finally a member!


(Only thing i don't like so far is off the line its completely shit. I raced my friends grand am (or was it a gran prix o_O ) and he torn me up off the line, but it was a small straight so i didn't catch up to him.
Then my other friends beamer and i won a few times, but he usually beat me off the line too :-/)
I have an auto, anyone got any smart racing tips?

Here's a tip- don't race it while you're breaking it in : )

I hope you didn't buy an auto for street racing, or you're going to be disappointed repeatedly.

Nice looking car Monte, and nice strakes! And I would listen to them and go easy on the break in.

But why didn't you go with Titanium?? Just kidding :)

Nice picture, if you plan to race you should have gotten the manual 6 speed. It has more horse power plus you're more in control of the car IMO. Great car non-the-less...

Ahk, i didn't buy it for street racing, i bought it for pimping and personal pleasure :)

However due to my age, ofcourse i'll be asked to take a few runs.
After 4500 rmps its just magnificent, but before that its horid :o.

I was racing up and down my school parking lot (only about 2/10 or less of a mile)

So obviously i lost a few, surprisingly i won against my friends sweet beamer o_O.

Anyways, i didn't buy it to race, but anyone would take a go if asked :).

As far as breaking it in, its been about 315 miles so far, i'm not taking it to hard, but i'm still making it work.

For the auto owners, what would u suggest to get an edge over the competition in a lil race?

O by the way, black > all. I LOVE IT, and so do the people that have their jaw dropped while i roll by :) (in the next days i'll be purchasing the mazda speed spoiler)

Here's my street racing advice:

Don't do it.
