i'm thinking about buying a gst but just had some questions first. My only real goal with this car will be to make it run consistant 13's. And i want it to be fairly reliable(if thats possible) in the process. I have a little more than 3K to play with. Pitch me some ideas!

Not always true with the 2g's... crankwalk can eat up your mod budget in a hurry. I agree though, they do look better. There is something about the 1g's that I still love though. care to explain what crankwalk is? Never heard it before. The best crankwalk explanation you're gonna find: http://www.magnusmotorsports.com/crankwalktheory.htm Wellll, I don't know. He's saying he has a $3K budget for straight line power alone and seemingly a completely separate budget for suspension and drivetrain mods. That's enough smash to make over 400 at the wheels even on an awd if he spends it wisely. I'm certainly not saying his poor 7-bolt will last that long at those power levels though... |
