1:1 Car #1. Looks like a grocery getter, but it's a genuine sleeper. I'll spare you the gory details on what I've done to this car, but rest assured, the oversized brembos in the last 2 pics are very appropriate.
Edit:
The speedometer has a pin just past 120 MPH but I'm traveling significantly faster than that in the above photo. Picture taken by a passenger. Never take a picture while you're driving. Closed Course, professional driver. yadda yadda.
1:1 Car #2: Ford Focus. I'm a senior admin of www.focaljet.com, which is easily the biggest enthusiast site for these cars. I went back to my original wheels because they were lighter than these, so I have different wheels now.

I drive a '89 dodge dakota, v6, 3.9lt, not to fast, but it gets me to school and back fast enough......... Pic of the best looking dodge dakota....... its great stuff.... but if any one wants to trade me a lancer evo for my truck, be my guest.
i just bought my fist car. its a silver 2000 mustang. its a hardtop v6 w/ a 5spd. i got it used w/55k miles on it an it came with aftermarket 17" rims. now it may be a v6 but i am lovin it. ive got plans for it and im gonna see what i can do to it before the end of my sr. year(i have no more money after buying the car but i have a job that i work enough hrs at). ill post pics as soon as i can. future lans include dual exhaust, y2k cobar r wing, new hood(probably y2k cobra r) 35th anniv. side scoops and navy blue pace car stripes and bumper insert. that should cover most of the cash i earn this year and then some lol.
p.s. im almost debating on wether to hook it up or not cause it is a major chick magnet at school and i dont no how louder exhaust and body stuff would appeal more or less to the ladies(i no it would appeal to the dudes but who wants that). wish me luck

You talkin bout the rotors or the calipers?.....slotted rotors don't necessarily make too much of a diff...but why just settle for the rotors...upgrade the calipers to some brembo 4-POT or so....get better stopping power
1969 Buick Skylark. Lots more to do on it, I just got it painted. Still need to do the entire interior and do some motor work (possibly an entire motor swap). Someone remind me to take some better pics.
