Come see me at Soap Hand Car Wash on Richmond & Timmons and I'll give you a few tips on running a good 60-130 time. There is a little technique to it.

He did say "little"...

I was thinking more along the lines of a metal pipe to my face and seeing my car drive off with a nice 0-130 run.

Where in Houston do ya'll live? I live near Rice Village and work downtown.

That is impressive! I am guessing it was a 6-speed?

Todd makes a good point Ben. Have you weighed your car? I think I recall a stereo all that stuff adds up pretty quick. If you are still AWD, stereo, full size battery, and running pump gas those things need to be considered. The extra weight alone is a huge factor.

Yeah I like my bass..its only 3 JLW6V2s...it weighs about 30lbs. The huge amp is another 10 or so (but I took out the stock amp, cd changer etc...). Also, I have the agency roll cage. At least I removed the back seats and rear wiper.

Plus, I am not in the best shape, so i definitely need to add some time to Steve''s

What battery would you recommend? I do not want something like Todd's watch battery since I store my car quite often.

Mine is barely lighter than stock and i actually keep mine on a tender most of the time. There are middle grounds between what Todd runs and factory. I can't remember the brand off the top of my head. I'll get back to ya on that.
