You are paying extra for that additional coverage? I called Allstate and they told me they only insure the car stock unless you buy additional extra coverage.

It's called the internet.

gas tank is in front of the rear axle, the turbos would be behind it.

People, please! Let's not let logical reasoning cloud our baseless hysteria!!!

You're just blind to the fact that it's a death trap! You're going to kill yourself, everyone you love, a car full of underprivileged illegal aliens who were working 3 jobs just to send money back home to feed their family, and at least 6 polar bears, if you even think of driving that thing.

Plus, think of the children!

LOL You have to consider collateral damage should you get rear ended for sure. :ugh2:

quick question OP is this a daily driver or weekend/track car?

LafitteZ 10-20-2012 10:43 AM

what if you run into the back of someone and the fuel rails break and the turbos explode and a time travel portal opens and your car suddenly has a flux capacitor and you fly back to the future. man anything can happen. youll be fine with the rear mount. also the turbos do not get as hot back there as the do in the front. Id be willing to bet you can get the turbo all spooled up and dump gas right on it and it wouldnt set fire. it would prolly cool it down lol

Damn, I thought it would be a good storage spot for them . Yes the odds of it exploding are about as good you winning the lottery twice in a row. On top of that if you are hit that hard in a rear end collision, I think the tank exploding would be the least of your concerns.
