Too bad Sato's engine blew up but I like his style, not afraid of the scarlet car.

PS. PM me your email.

Just start watching. The best part is, unlike nascar, watching a race doesn't consume an entire day! :D

Yeah, the Carrera GT is a bad *** machine. Love the V10, sounds like F1.

How was the meet last nite? Couldn't make it because I was in Vegas. There was actually a booth on the strip where a red rx8 was sitting next to and you can gamble to win the car. Pretty cool. That was the only 8 I saw the whole trip though.

I must have missed the details. What type of vehicle is wrapped around your 13.5psi turbocharged engine?

A 2005 Subaru Legacy. 2.5 Liter STI Engine with a 13.5psi turbo and AWD.

Big engine...soft suspension.

But, it has a realy nicd interior and appointments. Just needs a little work to live up to its performance potential.

Is that the 250 HP engine isn't it? Nice ride! I assume it has the power and torque that the RENESIS doesn't.

Did you sell your 8 or trade it?

Yup, its a good car..need to break it in. Lets just say, I am takeing a hiatas from the 8. I want another one realy bad. But I will wait a while before I get one.

The 8 is a awsome car. You never realy appricate it untill you don't have one anymore.

But the Legacy is about 2wice as fast as the 8.. Its a realy fast car. I haven't even broken in yet and haven't gotten it over 4rpm since I have had it and the engine pulls like a freight train.

I am haveing a STI Short Shifter installed tommorow..so that will help me control it a bit better. The stock shifter is utter crap.

What's the redline on the Legacy? You might have to change your userid... or else you're gonna blow up your turbo engine!

How about 13.5-Booster? That way we could call you "booster" for short!

Or should we just have a "name the Rever" contest?

I am down for that.

I was thinking 250 BOXER cuz my last Legacy was 165 BOXER for the horse power and engine type.
