Default Looking for some races....

I'm just looking for some friendly races. I picked up a new used car last week. Its an '07 Hyundai Sonata V6. It has 234 horsepower. Its crazy fast, I'm expecting low 15s @ 92 MPH.

I'm looking for some heavily modded LSX cars to run from a 6 1/2 MPH roll. That puts me right at my torque peak in 1st gear. Anyways I'm not looking for lame stock LS1 FBodies. I need something that will give me some real comp. I'm hoping to run either a stroked/built/blown LSX Fbody or maybe something lame like a new ZR1.

Also, WS601TransAM, Fireturd, and LS1LT1 are all gay.

Stickers are fine, just no playing cards in the spokes. That wouldn't be fair....

I had a legit race like this before.....

2000 Hyundai Accent 4 cyl 5 Speed, Stock, 125k+ miles

vs

2002 Chevy Camaro 420ish RWHP cam bolt ons 6 speed, 4.10's.

Went from a stop. He started in 3rd and I got to use all my gears and it was fun until he actually hit his power band and it was ruination.

Fun times.

I can probably get you a race with 6xx rwhp turbo car but he might think you are trying to hustle him, will you pop your hood?

Dude, I don't want ANY part of that race with either of my turds ...you're trying to bring a gun to a knife fight and I really don't appreciate it.

They run high 15s. My Dad has a new Odyssey with the same V6. That bugger does nice FWD mini-van burnouts!

I'll run you on pump gas fool.

I know you guys have had a tough winter the last two years, you never picked up a beater?

I just sold the Elantra to Joey for $400. 1st gear just went out but the motor still runs fine. Its still totally driveable, you just have to start out in 2nd gear. Thats not much fun when starting out on a hill as you can imagine in a car with 1.5 lb/ft of torque! lol It has 147k on it now. I definately got my money's worth. It still knocks down 35 MPG on the highway.

Nah, it doesn't snow all that much (usually) and the Z28 on four snow tires is awesome when it does. Plus, having three cars is such a hassle, eventually I might add a third one again though.
