I'm not trying to insult you or anything, it's just that if you owned a Pontiac before, then I know you can be saved from the dark side of import garbage. Deep in your soul, you know it's wrong (lol)!

$10,000 including the car, and still be very streetable, I don't know about that. Remember my talon runs that on cheap street tires, I drive to the track run low 11's and drive it home. I love old pontiacs but I have seen the massive potential of turbo AWD DSM's (eclipse, talon, laser). There are guys that run nines at 140-150mph with these cars, and can still drive them on the street. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Funny you say that. My best run ever was a 11.4!117 at Cecil County. Drive it on the street and to the track and back. Paid 7K for it and added another 1K to it. It can be done.
