It's really dull to me. I'm sure it's functional though.

I like this look.

I think about all the things we could have done, all the miracles we could have achieved, if we were all just a little bit better than it turns out we are.

He's right - a Mitsubishi Starion *would* wipe the floor with a 944.

So much right in this video. Hopefully the handling and brakes are up to par with all the power you are dropping in that thing.

Having had a Starion the 944 was always the natural enemy. The 944 turbo was way faster but the non turbo one was easy prey.

I had a Starion as well. Not the greatest car, but in its day it wasn’t bad... 4G swap it and then you’ve really got something...

I have looked at stations and one reason I never went through with it was I couldn’t figure out a good build. When I first looked I wanted to 6g it, then after reading all the bellhousing issues I thought 4g...then though v8. Like serious there are so many ways to go and none really too easy, well 8 years ago it wasn’t. Don’t know about it now.

4g swap would be more along the lines of what I I'd like for a Starion, but LS would be fun too

You have a Hummer. I don't think you have anything to worry about. If you want more effect just throw the VR4 up on cinder blocks.

He has a retired Humvee. That ups the redneck factor by at least 2x over a 'fancy' Hummer. :greenlantern:

Hmmmm. Maybe I’ve missed the mark, I never thought of Humvee people as redneck. Did I just go full redneck and not even know it?!

It's a way oversized mil-spec truck. Yes, it's definitely country redneck. And gloriously so. :D A brodozer with too much chrome and lighting would be city redneck. :lol:
