Sure, in PA. But around these parts, in my sight, I don't see many cars that are faster.
The most common car I see around here that's faster is a Corvette. Faster, but not much. |

Comeon man, a corvette vs a GT isn't even a competition 
While I love the new GT's (and yes that is coming from a f-body fanboy), they just became too heavy.
It would have been nice if they slapped in a bigger motor, such as an updated 5.0 aswell.
and I know there's got to be some LS1 f-bodies in your area

Secondly, the car could probably whip 98% of the cars on the road with me at any given time, even if I shift at 3500 every time.
| Try applying that approach with a Talon AWD or SRT-4 sitting next to you at a red light.

In all honesty, I'm not looking to race anyone.

I know what you are saying. However, I am not racing. What I have described is my normal driving style, and that does not change whether I am driving an I4 or V12. | |

And I don't see too many LS1s around here. More V6s than anything - you know that. | |

Normally I would walk straight past anything branded by Jensen, but these seem to be exception. Someboday at Jensen actually did something right when designing these boxes, unlike most of their other bargain basement stuff. |
Agree, Circuit City has some great car audio equipment. Thanks to Rob, I am enjoying a nice little 300watt Infinity 12" sub in a sealed box paried with a 500watt Bazooka amp

Meanwhile, the Contour is still running like crap at idle and no one knows why. | |

Buy a new car. That'll solve it. | |
