SRT (as in 8 cylinder HEMI)?... if so, no - a 6 cylinder VQ wont have a chance... did you mean SXT? if so, yes you should be able to beat him/her (especially with bolt-ons & a tune) - possibly not by shifting into 4th gear... you need to rev out every gear and finish in 3rd.
My Mustang...slightly different outcome. We still debate just who won that race

I have a problem guys. While driving today my VDC, SES and Slip light came on. After this my RPMs went to zero and the car came to a stop ( the engine pretty much shut down; however, i have electrical power as the radio still works).
I tried restarting, and after holding the key for about 5 seconds it finally started. I got home, parked the car and after an hour it started fine. Any suggestions, of what the problem might be?

Haha. Same thing happened to me in my Evo.
Happened once then went away. Hasn't happened since. The only difference was my car backfired (loud bang) before it died. Then everything just shut down.
The only thing that I could pinpoint was my switch in gasoline. The car was always filled on 76. But that day, I switched to Shell. After that happened, I went back to 76, and hasn't happened since.
That's the only conclusion I had. Everybody I asked was clueless.
Now I never ever go to Shell. That gasoline sucks.

The blue HP is close to stock, the D-specs are the good and expensive ones.

G35 sedan w/ too much money in mods
Where's the best place to buy a headlight ballast? Infiniti wants $500 ($250 with my special pricing but still), Rock Auto doesn't seem to carry them, and the lighting section in the Marketplace is pretty dead.
If anyone has an extra laying around or can point me in a cheaper direction I'd appreciate it. Heading over to ebay to try my luck there.

So i tired the emblem-less grill, it worked out great, and i painted it using the plastidip. Unfortunately the bondo cracked for some reason and i want to fix it and paint it using normal spray paint, but now my problem is trying to get the plastidip off, i was able to peel off most of it but in between each grill in the tight spots, its really hard to get the plasti dip off. I have tried everything from using my compressor with the blower, didnt work. I tried using heat, didnt work. Any advice?
