C'mon isn't it just so much more fun when you see the look on the face of V8 drivers when they realise that they've just been done over by a "little" 6. On the 1/4 that is of course, all legal here :newangel:

yeah, i was looking at the "what cam to get" thread in the 6 cyl section over there the other day, heaps of people had Proud TQE Operator in their signatures...

brought back memories, when qikcorty did a 14.7 and we were all like WOAH D@MN THATS FAST!!! and when we thought 150rwkw required a chip, massive head porting, huge cam, manual etc...

*sigh* those were the days!

PS if you want the TQE thing in your sig cut and past the following:

[color=red][b][i]Proud TQE Operator[/i}[/b}[/color}

but replace the 3 sqiggly brackets with square ones...
