Ya, those cars kick ass! The motors are bullet proof. I had a 92 AWD. Mine had 360,000km's on the engine and it was still putting out 300Hp and ran 13.2 @ 106mph. If the tranny wasn't so old or I shifted faster it would have ran 12's with that MPH.

I only had roughly $1500 in mods to get that out of the engine. Small 16G, Waste gate dumping to atmosphere (the thing was loud), lightened flywheel, cheap boost controller and hacked maff (with home depot flapper door), bored out fuel rail, Walbro fuel pump, and that's about it. Everything else was stock. AWD kicks ass!

Complete sleeper, nothing fancy, I'd go to local street races (they were huge back then) and open the hood, it was filthy, never washed it, people laughed. Until I made my first run, then everyone wanted to know about the car.

If the wife would ever let me and I am allowed t get another toy I'd like to get another one to mess around with again.

DaveTSI, were you in NABAR? What did yours run at the 1/4?

My dad had a silver '93 GSX when I was a kid. It was a great car. We had lots of fun in it.


I had a 3000GT VR-4 n high school. Also a kick ass AWD turbo ride.

Ya, the 3000Gt's are nice too, they are a little more to mod though and a pain in the ass to work on.

Yeah, they are. I had a FMIC, Twin TD04-HL 19T turbos on it, Stage 2 SPEC clutch, exhaust DP from 3SX with a custom cat back, no cat.

I could get into the low low 12's on 16 psi. I had it dyno tuned and was probably around 430 awhp. I sold it after HS though. I got in trouble too many times speeding. That thing was sweet. I got rear ended in it so I had the whole car repainted too and replaced the leather and new carpet and mats with custom 2-tone black/tan leather/suede seats. It was in excellent shape. I miss that car.

I wish I never sold it now. Both my cars now are as fast or faster. They are RWD though.

Ya, my car got me into trouble as well. Way too many speeding tickets, it was too hard to stay off the boost, AWD launches etc are addictive.

I sold the car and bought a bike to go racing with... the bike on a track is way more fun then the car. But nothing beats the way you are pushed back into the seat when you launch a high HP AWD car.

I'll do this as cardio HIIT on my mid Oct-Nov cut.

I'm not sure if my shoulders will be able to handle it but I'll see - i've not done power cleans enough to develop any convincing trap/shrug/drive on the PC.

If you stick with a lower weight like 45-60 lbs you'll be just fine.

You'll feel like shit afterward, but you'll be just fine.

I have to say I am a bit disappointed. I would have thought there would have been a better turn out for this. So far not counting me and my wife there have only been 2 that have taken the challenge.

Is trying this just not all that interesting, or does it seem like too much work? I can't imagine it would interfere with people's programs too much...
