How does drag racing an Lsx based car differ from any other sports car? They make good power and MOST of them look bad ***. Redneck would never cross my mind.

I think some of you guys are missing the point. I was ASKED if I thought it was redneck and I thought I'd grab a consensus from here, that is all.

But thats the british stereotype--bad teeth, you have an accent, or should have, maybe.
Same as the redneck stereotype--bad teeth, different accent.
Get it now?

I wasn't trying to be funny, or serious, sarcastic maybe a little. Trying to offened anyone- no.

Oh no, I understand the stereo type, that was the point of my thread, do we fit it? That's all, I didn't intend for people, not meaning you, to get all twisted out of shape about it. If people don't like it, move on.

i would think the only thing "redneck" about lsx based vehicles would be the f-bodies with T-tops.

carried over from the later 2nd gen camaros and firechickens... other than that - hard top f-bodies, vettes, GTO's, trail blazer SS... they're all ballin'

My vote is no (unless you roll down the track with your t-tops off and mullet blowing in the wind lol).

I voted no, not just because I'm Asian/middle eastern, but also because being redneck is more about the people than what they drive. Drag racing is drag racing - car enthusiasts all over the world do it. Our poor cars just have the dubious distinction of becoming redneck favorites about 8-10 years after they're made.

I rarely see any "donked" out f-body's. And for general knowledge, we don't even call them "donk" cars.

I don't think drag racing lsx cars is redneck though.



I Love my T-Tops Too!

Deffinatley not redneck. Maybe some of the trucks that pull them. For example my buddy lent me his 06 Ford crew cab dually long bed power stroke diesel with a home made back rack that has all kinds of lights on it to take my car down to Eric at Midwest Chassis for my install. Great truck though, I kept forgeting I had a trailor on.

If you want to factor ethnicity into it and who's driving what. How about 10-12 years ago when every second gen trans am was owned by a Mexican?
I know this because my friend had a restored 1979 Joe Dirt special. And oddly enough he is a redneck, he'd get pissed being the only white guy driving one.

FWIW I don't know one redneck that would even consider driving an F Body.
It's got to be an F150 or higher. WIT A BIG OLE DOGBOX

Haha, I'm sure kid rock in the 3rd gen in Joe Dirt didn't help with the stereotype either!

I think the poll is pretty definitive too, lol, 87% for no, nice.

We've got a few donked out boxes and bubbles around here too.
I'd much rather see a box chevy donked out than a civic fagged up.
