When you run over the first wire it detects it and then you run over the last wire and it detects it... Make any sense?

ok first thing is first

thats great that your parents are buying you a car but i honestly think that you should ........

BUY the car yourself !!!!!! That way you will respect it more and when you break it you will understand the responsiblitiy of having your own vehicle and the costs that come from it.

I dont know you and you may be an example of respnsiblilty but then again you may not. If you look around in this site you will see what happens when you put inexperience, hormones, an ego, and some power together ........... outcome is usually bad.

1) If I can handle a 440 V8 going at mid 12s low 11s... on pump gas.... stock.... Chances are i can handle a SRT-4.....

2) I helped my dad restore the '69 Coronet since I was 7 and we are still working on it.... I helped rebuild the engine btw... Im not the average teenager who thinks you can shove nitrous into anything with four wheels like most kids today...

3) I dont have a job....

....or for insurance, or for tickets.

and if you dont have a license how can you have run on the strip ?

got permission and signed a waiver ?

anyhow good luck with the car and as you probably aready know a factory Dodge stage II turbo upgrade will give you approx. 270hp and is covered under warranty. just a suggestion

But can you handle all that power in a front-wheel drive car and be able to launch with a Manual tranny (assuming the r/t is auto)?

Who the hell gets a Auto Mopar... man.. that totally destroys the power and the fun!!! sheesh... and yeah... maybe the front wheel drive traction is a tad hard... but its nothing impossible....

also to whoever said b/s to me not getting a ticket... and abusing it

1) I live pretty much out in the crap zone... Although it is gettin populated REALLY fast lately... The cops are still the same.. They dont care... Another thing, I would only drive it on that 1/3 mile... I live about a block away from my school giving two reasons to not drive it there because I can; A, walk there in 10 mins. and B, It would get vandalized sitting in a parking lot for 6 hours... not to mention probally stolen....

2) Im a good kid, I dont abuse cars... If you race a car... you gotta, well atleast we do. We flush out the gas tank and replenish it with fresh fuel (mother works at a car dealer, free gas and it is 98 octane :thumb: ) Then you take the formula of however many hours you used the car and times that by 1.5 and whatever amount you get you spend that much time checking the car and cleaning it, etc. So... say you drag it for 1-2 hours.... multiply 2 by 1.5 and you get 5 hours... so.. There ya go...

I dont treat cars like ****... It's against my mopar religion.
