No offense but that would suck it makes you happy to kill a probe. You need to save for something faster:help

Congrats though man. Im happy to see a 318 finally kill something. I know what its like to drive a slow car, well not as slow as a 318;) My slowest car was a 1990 300zx auto. Decent top end though. Too bad a corolla s took me off the line:(

I swear I see all the ricers when Im driving the Bronco or the Ranger. Why cant I ever line up when Im in the Cobra?

So thats like 13 bux American right? lol jk. Im guessing its more like 17.5-22k. You should be able to find a decent 98-99 for that price,around here anyways. If you plan on modding maybe you should look at a 95. Much cheaper and then you could spend the rest on modding the hell out of it:buttrock

i am too, a 95 m5 is about 11-12g for a nice condition car

20-25 is easily enough for an M3 here. They range from about 18-25 from what I've seen. 10-12k might get you a '94 325 in Canada.:(

because in the bronco your fair game. while the cobra they can see will kill them from a mile away and avoid it because of that fact.

at heart, ricers are cowards, never forget that

:lol Well I have surprised more than a few people with the big ol 5.8. It sounds pretty mean with the k&n and flowmaster. Not as mean as my last 5.0 Bronco with no muffler lol

Oh and twice while in the Ranger w/35's I have been challenged to a race by a dakota r/t. I put my tail between my legs and he still had to floor it:(

I'm actually surprised the 318 one. THe probe GTs are pretty nice little cars for what they are. Maybe the guy was an auto? The girl probably stared you down because she didn't want the boyfriend racing. He probably caught an ear full the whole time you guys were going, then probably caught even more when he lost. :)
