I can't even drive my little Subaru butt-rocket on the mainland as it was designed to be driven; what on earth does one do with 600 hp on Maui?

Winding canyon roads with no top was the idea but you saw the flaw in my plan right away. Too much power for a 2300 lb car even with race car suspension and 12 in wide tires. I started racing SCCA and it was too powerful for that also. Your WRX has balance and a decent ride, acceptable noise level, outruns Corvettes, gets decent milage, etc.
Cobra attracted women in bikinis.
I learned my lesson.Yessirree.I took the profit and bought a slantnose Porsche 911 with a 400 HP Chevrolet 350 V8 mounted in back together with Marc Lefebvre. We are gonna hold the mods to 450 hp max. Stored it until I go back to Maui. My next free car. |

My WRX is a hatchback, i.e., a wagon. Any women it attracts got no business wearing bikinis.

I drive a Subaru Forrester which, apparently, is a magnet for women in comfortable shoes. So I've been told. _________________ mountainbikeoc.blogspot.com |

keycocker,
A 450hp V8 in a 911? That's got to be about the stupidest, most dangerous, pin-headed concept anyone's had since the 12th grade. I must know more!
Did you do it yourself? Any links or pics? Can you negotiate a turn at an intersection without swapping ends?
