@ProstWest: mmm Watkins Glen.

@Blix: I'd have to imagine that would be rather difficult...

So, they're taking an already overweight performance car, and making it heavier and less lust worthy? Go Mitsubishi... Your glory days were the '90s (and debateably the early '00s with the Evo 7), now you're just a senile old man.

@RyGuy: another $25. Gonna post this link up on some forums I'm on.

@Racin_G73 - dirt track legend (some day ... maybe): I more than likely just ignored it then, that kinda of "reporting" is stupid.

Am I the only one who didn't ever see her while watching the races? I guess because I didn't watch any of the pre/post-race crap.

I like that, a lot...

@kericr00: and that's something completely different that all the new muscle cars have.

My favorite memory? Driving without a radio. It made me appreciate the radio that much more.

@ciscokidinsf: You're joking, right? This is only over 1000HP...

@QADude: The actual headjob was around $900, the rest of the work drove the price up. I'm not complaining, I got a good deal. Especially since I'm a college student with no money :P #qotd

@roxhayes: pun was most definitely intended. #qotd

About $1400 for a partial headjob and some other work all at once. It was worth it.

@UglyDuckCar: not sure where you got the 3000lbs figure from, but you're about 250lbs short. #jalopnikvsgm

The bolts didn't fail, the cage itself failed. If you ignore that the cage was made of questionable material (what wasn't in the early 80's?) there was nothing wrong with it. I'm not saying a weld-in cage would be better, but for 90% of racing a bolt-in cage would be fine if properly installed and reinforced.

I'm not sure I get the general hatred of bolt in roll cages. I understand the cheap ones are utter shit, but a real one? sorry, nope. I can grab a pic of the broken off stub of a roll cage in my garage. The chromoly tubing (all that was required 25 years ago) snapped 3-4" above the mounting plate for the bolt in roll…

@Jeremy: ugh. agreed. I cannot see this ending in a desirable fashion.

I'm embarrassed by these idiots.

the girls are a hell of a lot more attractive than the car...

My wants:
