Could that video be any bigger of a waste of bandwidth? 1:23s video, 1:18s of it grainy txt, 5s of it lousy video.

hey I never said it was professional quality, it was done by an amateur obviously - but it gets the point across

*blank stare*
a 500 in a Chevette? My god.... I'd love to see what that looked like

At least that Omni has it's original engine

Man, my dad had a '79 Omni... we nicknamed it "The Roach

The car simply wouldn't die. My oldest brother was the first kid to get it and man, he drove the piss out of that thing. Hopped curbs, purposely ran over city lane markers and turn lane markers. Threw it around corneres... blew out the stero... and it was still drivin and my second brother got it. He drove it until my sister got it and it was using oil, had 2 clutches replaced and the alignment done like 10 times, but it was still kicking. She went around a wet corner and slid the rear end into a curb and cracked the rear axel. It still ran. After a good 6 years of teenage drivers, my dad sold it to a group of mexicans for $300. It used a quart of oil every 2 weeks and wasn't safe to go over 50mph in, but damn, it still ran!

There was a guy in Club Clash I raced with one, ran a 15.4 up here so it was pretty schweet, he's a Very consistant driver, when I raced him tho I edged him out we had similar R/T's but he missed his dial in for some reason, the next event he took out my teamate in the 4th round when he nailed a .501 light! my teamate got a low.5 also but not .001 from perfect like this guy. Total sleeper to, ugly a$$ Dodge gold color

nice story Radeon, the 79s used a 1.7L VW engine, surpised it didn't die sooner

Considering the Vette isn't a drag car, that doesn't impress me. I can make a solid rocket engine for about $4 that will beat the Vette in the quarter mile, too. Wow. When the Chevette can pull 1g lateral acceleration, get chicks, and look good doing it, we'll have something.

Like hell it isn't...the Z06 can pull 0-60 in 4.3 seconds and smoke through the 1/4 mile in stock form.

Cool. He did it for a little over $1300 bucks and it's a daily driver.

It's actually a Dodge Omni GLH, complete with 2.2 Power And it's not tough to make it a cornering machine, it weighs 2400lbs, there's numerous suspension mods available for it. Get chicks and look good doing it? Looks are subjective

Lol I like it. While someone needs to learn to use something like divx, I still like it
