Default A riced out Escort.. LOL

I was at a light the other day and this Escort ZX8 ricer started to rev his engine and honk at the car next to him. Which happened to be a Cavalier. Then the Cavalier did the same and then they both looked at me. (stupid people). My car's only a V6 and of course no mods cause it's only a V6. The light turned green and the 2 cars took off. I sat there for a sec to think. Then I left, not trying to race, but still beat both of them... Not really a race but kinda funny that they wanted to race me.. LOL... God I can't wait to get a V8 now.....

Nice kill. I can't ever get anyone to rev or try to race me anymore since I added the cam, headers, and true duels.

I don't mind when people try to race me. Except the Z28. I'm not stupid I wouldn't have stood a chance so I didn't even try. I just think it's funny that it was a ZX8. Does he think a fart can makes him fast or something? LOL .... And the Cavalier.. It was full of chicks... Obviously they dont' know about cars or just wanted to have fun...

I'm saving up for a V8, I'm gonna keep my V6 for daily driving.... Want to get into racing. Grew up around it. My dad has a 9 sec car, he wants me to drive it but I'm to scared I'd wreck it. Now if I wreck my own I wouldnt' feel as bad... LOL

Sounds good. Just keep with it. I got the car but can't do anything to it untill next year. It's all about the MONEY$, Once you get the V-8 you should do pretty well at the track, they say girls have a better reaction time.

Not sure yet... I'm still up in the air... I've always wanted a 2nd gen Bird so that might be what I get if I can find one.

EXACTLY!! If his car is set up mainly for road race/autocross, then high 11s is doing very well indeed.
