Not sure if this is awesome or terrible.

But 2 guys managed to get 2 Dodge Calibers over 200KPH (125+MPH)

And got busted.

Safe to assume SRT4s?

Not necessarily. The R/T with a CVT could conceivably get going that fast, if it didn't have a speed limiter.

Saw an Audi R8 in the wild a few months ago.

Wasn't a GT though, had a V8.

Such an amazing car.

Then a couple weeks later I saw something even more wonderful: a completely stock Honda CRX. The guys driving it were a little weirded out when I asked them if I could take a picture of their car. The bra even looks old as hell.

It's like doing an engine swap and putting in a LT1 instead of LSx into a car.

I know what you mean, but the brand new LT1 would not be a bad thing to swap.

To add to what EightBit said, there was a Ford 4 cylinder......I forget which, but it was in my old rear end mid 90s Ranger....and it was for emissions. It apparently made enough of a difference that they were able to squeeze some more years out of that underpowered shitbox of a motor (turning on the AC felt like a jake brake).

That was the 2.3L Lima engine, and not only did it improve emissions, but it increased power from 88 hp to 105! :eng101:

That makes exactly two genuine wagons made by a low-cost brand

And only one of those has a rear-facing third seat. So if you want a seven seat wagon (I do), you have to spend $60k.

juiced Prizm

I unironically love this car, and get a giant poo poo-eating grin every time it gets posted. It's a picture perfect sleeper. Is it just juiced, or also turbo? I mean, the engine bay shot is blurry as gently caress, but is that a blowoff valve on the intake tube?

Did the rear glass open like that or is it just popped out?

It's a vent window for the third seat. Cars without the third seat (it was optional) did not have it.

Wow, amazed that engine fits in like that, i would've thought it'd be much too tall for a car. Those wheels look horrendous though.

Couple of pages ago, but I both agree and disagree on the wheels. Yeah, they're dumb, but it sort of fits. From the outside, it's just another dumb durbed-out V6 Charger. But then it literally smokes you. I like it.

Yes, someone was trying to race a Pontiac Tran Sport. It was just about the slowest vehicle on the track.

If it was the white one with the weird Mercedes-esque front end and double head lights, those guys are on the A-body board. They're having a grand old time, and have done a C5 Corvette front brake swap, since it became very obvious at the last race that the stockers were not up to the task. The front brakes nearly caught fire trying to haul down the bulk of the van over and over. Click for bigger:

For Sale 1987 Chevy Celebrity - Not Registered...

3.2L V6
FWD
5 Passenger Station Wagon (Used to be) - Chopped the roof, so now it looks like a truck
187K
Runs + Drives Great (Dead battery - Won't start without jumper cables)
Brakes work
Chopped a hole in the hood and removed the air filter, then put the intake line directly through the hood... Believe me, it gets air!

Cons:
Registration is out of date - If you want to drive on-road you have to pay the registration fees
May need a new alternator and battery, will jump start without issue...
Right front tire leaks air (slow leak)
No power steering...
I doubt it will pass smog

Other than that it runs like a beauty! ....might have an exhaust leak.

We painted it up a couple of years ago... and recently chopped the roof off of it

Asking $450 OBO

That's just fuckin' dishonest and I love it. Reminds me of a Sigma estate that got posted a long time back with a BMW engine swapped into it, with the original tailpipe welded on top of the new exhaust, so it stuck out the back in the factory location in all its 1.75" glory.
