srv1 and speedemn, not to interupt but srv1 you mentioned your modded truck. and the "rice version" you described fits perfectly with the high school driven, brightly painted, clear markered, loud sound systemed light pickups that are getting more and more common in my area. this not only is annoying but disturbing.

i knew a guy from indiana who knows more about engines (his specialty was chevy) who had a truck he's been messin with for a couple of years, getting parts from the autoparts shop he works at and junk yards here and there. i heard him describe it and it sounded like he had done some heavy stuff to it. i kept wondering how he got that big an engine into what sounded like a very small engine compartment. but when he drove it to a ball tournament recently in indiana, i saw first hand what a modded light mid-sized pickup is supposed to look and sound like. bright yellow, performance tires, what looked like 3" or 4" dual exhuast making a sound i only dream my '94 GT will sound like one day. and to top it off inside he had two bucket seats from a Corvette!! he has since tubbed the back end and added bigger tires. it looked mean and fast yet very classy and not overdone.

just thought i'd share my experience on how i was shown first hand that just because something other than a sports car is fast, doesn't mean i shouldn't give it serious props and respect. anyone can make anything go fast. it's just depends on $$$ and free time. not to mention a large amount of determination.
