Default Escort ZX2 vs. a Z06

tell me why i saw a escort smoking a zo6 today????? I was coming home form work around noon and they flew by me, escort was burning the vette badly.

The escort was ugly as hell though, it was green with yellow lightning vinyl on the side....it was really loud though.

Vette did have an exhaust at least.

I've seen Gremlin's run 8.0's at 180mph. There's a Focus around here with a '03 Cobra motor, a 9" rear end (RWD), and full bolt ons. Sometimes good things come in small packages.

...at least that's what Jon's g/f told me.

When ricers are slow, they rely on the "appearance" arguement. When POS's are fast, domestic owners default to them being ugly.

But you can lose to one, and what does that say about you?

IMO, if you can't smoke it, you've got no right to talk.

How about this running 12's really hurting the feelings of a guy in a 97 cobra.



My feelings would be hurt too.

I thought this quote was going to end in a completely different way.

Of course! It's just a funny line in the car horror movie classic, "Christine."

Futile and useless to persuade. I hold the identical position... Just a movie quote, that's all...

Hmm, I wonder what kind of sleeper I cold make my Acclaim into? I doubt a Viper motor would fit though, lol.
