I don't think Wisconsin can handle my creations.


It's just to over whelming.


Everyone's going to want to race and test their car against it.

Which I dont mind... but I think my speed days are over.  I don't mod up for "fast" cars anymore.

I think it's more about looks now for me.


I saw a s2000 the other day with drilled and slotted brakes.. and it looked nice, I was thiking about putting some on it with a gold color to it.

I bet you my Escape can beat your S2000 from a stop and a roll.  :P

Oh. Garage King but then again if I had something like an S2000 I might do the same.

I think it's been proven that drill and slotted brakes do nothing for your car. In reality its probably hurts the performance. Brakes use friction to stop the car and when you have drill or slotted brakes you actual lose surface area in which to gain friction. It actually becomes a safety hazard over time and might actually hurt the braking performance of your car.

That's why today's race cars have full brakes but are made out of different material that can handle more heat, doesn't falter over time, and can stay strong longer. So its more about what the brakes are made out rather then the design of the brake disc themselves.

There's no way it'll beat the S.

I'll bet you it can and afterwards if your car breaks down we can hook it up because the Escape has a 4000 lbs tow capacity.  O0 ;D

My Escape is no regular Escape.  :)

Well you know all my car's are no regular car's either.

The CRX was no ordinary CRX.

The Teggie and Teggie 2.0 was no ordinary Teggie.

And as stock as the car looks from the outside..  it's no regular s2k either!
