geea Site protagonist Lifetime Members 4,320 Member For: 21y 11m 14d Gender: Male Location: At the lights, waiting for you. Posted 13/06/05 12:35 AM Author Share Posted 13/06/05 12:35 AM I think for me to actually do this it would require someone to really want my car and pay the price im after. There has been no inquiries about buying the car so it looks like it's not going to happen. I can't say I'm disappointed though cause it would have been real hard to let the car go. Looks like I better see whats involved with running 9's. Geea.

Think about it. How long does it take for a valve to close? that's how long it takes to make close to maximum torque, anywhere in the rev range, with a positive displacement charger....And some of the quickest street driven stangs I've ever heard of in the states (ones that aren't advertised on all the semi rice websites people seem to get there information off) are screw charged....Not to mention the whistle that a screw charger gives off... It's out of this world...So go for it geea; see if you can get away with having a bug catcher hanging out of a GT...
