High Rollerz ;)

I took some pics of my friends and my cars lined up, look and see.

Thats a Dodge SRT-4, a BMW M3, A MINI Cooper, A Hummer Alpha, and a Subaru WRX STi. I know what you're thinking, yes the Hummer is sweet, and yes it was $120,000. But he only drives it once a week. The rest of the time he drives a New Jeep.

I'm impressed. I'd like to see all of your friends posing with their cars, hopefully wearing lots of pastel Lacoste. . . .

Don't forget about the Grand Am at the end

Nice collection. I'm partial to the MINI and the M, but the STI and SRT-4 are awesome performance cars for the money. The Alpha just doesn't impress me... With 120K laying around I'd have gone with an AMV8!

None of my friends have interesting cars, so I am a little jealous. I'd like to ride in the Subaru, but my goodness, could they make that hood scoop a little bigger???

Yea, I forgot to mention he has a sweet supercharger, and was dynoed at 320, hp, and Ive seen the dyno sheets, and not that we've proved it, but the M3 is faster.

He's referring to the HHR, a PT Cruiser look-a-like.

Unless the SRT has some serious mods, wouldn't it get smoked? 230 HP FWD vs. 300 HP AWD.

Not to go too far OT, but according to this site http://www.albeedigital.com/supercou...0-60times.html if you were racing the 2004 models (the fastest year of SRTs), the Subaru would barely win 1/4 mile (13.8 vs. 13.9) and in 0-60 mph (5.1 vs. 5.3). But the 2006 Subaru goes 0-60 in 4.5 and 1/4 mile in 13 flat.
