As you can see we also own a 1998 cavalier we are building for all show. It is my wifes first car and she refuses to get rid of it no matter what at this point.
Plus one of my marron Eclipses. Kinda sitting low on the AirRide.

you got a lot of rides! How do you like your srt?

uncivilracer 09-14-2005 01:51 AM

It was real nice at first. Then I got used to the power of the factory turbo. Now that I have upgraded to a BB GT40 turbo, I am loving it more than ever. But the gas is killing me in that thing driving to and from work. So the xB was needed. Now I can enjoy the SRT on the weekends and going to meets.

Hey that Red Text on the RX8 isn't on the actual car is it?

dazygirl415 09-14-2005 12:29 PM

^^ I had the same question.

uncivilracer 09-14-2005 01:25 PM

no it isnt....lol that would totally ruin the look of the shinka.

BLUE_SIX 09-14-2005 05:01 PM

PHewwwww.... thank god!

I was thinking of a way to let u know that you had ruined your Shinka.
Nice cars BTW. I was seriously thinking about getting an SRT-4 right before
I got my RX8. Needless to say, I drove the Dodge and It just didn't feel right.
When I got behind the wheel of the 8, OMG... I knew that's what I wanted :D

what about the rx8? hahaha I have a 88 crx i use as a daily driver. It takes me only 18 bucks to fill up which will last me the whole week. Gotta love fuel efficient beaters!

Exactly. The RX8 is the wifes car and my other daily driver was the 98 cavalier, until she decided she wanted to fix it up completely for show. So had to move on and this thing gets like 38-40 miles to the gallon in city traffic and almost 45-48 on the highway so far.

nice rides! I really like your srt-4. How does the beastly power feel to ya? haha i love the way it pulls away from everything whenever im in my friends :D

uncivilracer 09-14-2005 09:31 PM

Dude with the turbo upgrade it is just nasty. I love it. We are all trying to get it to hit 500whp. 378 was nice for awhile, but u get used to it. LOL! The thing i really like about it is that the torque matches the Horsepower levels and actually right now is actually at 410 lbs-torque with the 378 whp.

PaulieWalnuts 09-14-2005 10:08 PM

How do you like the 8 compared to the 4?

uncivilracer 09-14-2005 11:11 PM

Overall I really like the 8. I was just expecting more in the HP area after being in my srt4. I am just glad she decided on the Shinka instead of the base model 8. Just tripped me out that I was able to get both my srt4 and xB for the same general price of the 8. But the wife gets what she wants in the end.....allways. >LoL<
