Lets just say I've been through the "lets make it faster, turn harder, run better than ever before" phase. Taking a 210hp factory eclipse and road racing it on the side.

This picture tells a lot:

There wasn't much I hadn't done to this car:

There also wasn't much I hadn't broken:

Along with becoming a mechanic over night:

The list and $$$$ goes on.

5 transmissions later, 2 motors, axles, 1500 mile mobil one oil changes, $8 a gallon race fuel, high insurance, etc.....

I took this car back to factory spec, sold all the modifications on the side. Made back 11k, which wasn't even close to what I had into it. Traded in the car and got the Crossfire. So far all I've had to do to it, was fill up with gas, and change oil.

Worth it? Hell yea. Would I do it again? NO! I can't afford it.

I want speed, I buy something fast.

Unless you got $$$$$$$$ burning a hole in your pocket, don't even think about slapping on just a supercharger. Only thing worse would be nitrous, which btw I never used =)
