Well, I'm assuming that most buyers did their homework, and if they wanted great quarter miles, they bought other cars.

Kinda like going to a Hyundai (sp?) web site, and posting, "So, tell me how you like the solid clunk sound when you close your doors?"

I'm hoping that the accuracy in your buildings is a little better than your butt dyno. Otherwise, I don't care if it has a Starbucks; I'm never going into that Genuardis in Doylestown. :p

BTW: that Qtip who finished second in American Idol is from Doylestown. Finally, we're on the map!

However, since you've revealed (via the sticky pics post) you have NOS, you're probably going to have some of the best runs of anyone here. (BTW, I'll pass on the "sticky pics post" comments :p)
