ok see now your talking a foreign language to me. though as far as keeping up with, i wouldn't mind keeping up with or stomp the crap out of something like a mustang gt. i know if i could do that then i think i would be doing pretty decent. what do ya think? and budget, i really don't have a budget of anything at the moment i figured i would find out what would work the best for me find the best deal and then save up for it. that way if i don't have the money now i won't just blow it on the first thing i find.

i hear ya.. i've beaten mustang gt's with the srt hfi and hks hiper exhaust.. along with good driving.... it wasn't a kill, but i would pull a little bit each gear.... if u really wanna beat them, i would suggest at least a stage 1 turbo... thats truly the only way to go... it will make u competitive with an e46 M3..
