8v vs 16v eh! RE: 16v body kit questions

I think I'm one of the few people in the world who actually liked Fast and the Furious, along with Gone in 60 Seconds. F&F reminded me of a porno, just for ricers. Really weak, lame plot that you just fastforward through to get to the good parts. Yeah, those cars were rice, but they had the power to back them up. The new movie, called 2 Fast 2 Furious (yes, with the number like that) looks pretty disappointing, carwise. As for challenger vs supra, I have no idea if that would be close or not, but it could be.

*Fast and Th Furious* #2 comming out this summer I believe.
an 8's Quarter Mile dragster versus an impreza.. suuuuureee it would be
close. Not.!
First, it was a Supera. And think of the mods done to both. Plus the supera
was on the bottle. No bottle in the Charger.
Peace Out,
