Turbo vs. my hand - this turbo is just almost the size of the Holset found on the Dodge trucks:

Good street race with a C4 Vette... he is faster off the line, but as soon as I hit 3rd gear it's over:

Ah finnaly it lets me post here...


Anyways, if I was the vett I would have taped my brakes with you comming up my ass like that and just left it at that, that is shamefull to be beaten like that, I always thought those Merkur cars were ugly (no offense), but talk about a sleeper, I bet that vett owner could not sleep the rest of the night knowing he got laughed at. Hope fopr his sake none of his friends saw him lose. Thats is terrible. :lol: 8)

Whatever the side the fault is on, my IE cache... in the other thread I followed your link... it popped open the window, the windows says I am still logged in but I go to post and it kicks my back to the main index logged out, over and over anyway I try to post nadda nothing back to the main index logged out, yet in my other windows I can post no problem... then come back here and it lets me post now, lol, its a computer, built by humans, what do we expect realisticly. :lol:

Hey, nice work. I know these cars look a little funky but I've always liked them. Double wing was a little over the top but some how it worked and didn't look out of place. I did think they were a little under powered for a turbo car, but looks like you've taken car of that. Now you have to a G Timer from Roy and post your 0-60 times.

[MerkXRTurbo]

I have a G-tech. 0-60 in 5.6 seconds... and that's fighting for traction.

Thats a true sleeper. You must really surprise a lot of people.

[Whytetygerwolf]

if u break 5 second 0-60, then itd be cool

[Asleeper]

XR4Ti's are good sleepers and are capable of putting down 300hp rather easily.I have always been a fan of sleepers as my name would imply.
