What kind of excuse is: "the other car had more mods..."

That's nearly as bad as using displacement as an excuse. JMO

I wouldn't bother explaining it at all.
I would just run him with what I had whether I thought I could win or not.
It's not like there's money on it.

I'm going to run him. Someone had said I'm scared to lose so I responded. I'm not scared at all, infact I'm expecting to lose.

Run your car not your mouth and that wouldn't happen

There's no excuses. These are facts. Your car has more mods than mine, on paper YOU SHOULD WIN.
Just like when I raced Jack's Cobalt in the Regal. He won. He won BECAUSE my car was running on 5 cylinders. That's not an excuse, that's a fact. If you need further proof go watch my Regal at the track video for my times. There's no way a GMS1 Cobalt is touching those times.

If you win, it will be because you have more mods than me. Is that a fact or an excuse?
First you said in a previous post in this thread that I was dodging you for the past 3 months, then you said you affiard Im gona kick your *** .
Which one is it?


No one said im guaranteed to win, I have more mods but its a heavier car.
I dont wanna hear that **** because you run your mouth on this forum as if your Goat was un-touchable


And I could care less about your peice of **** regal even if it ran 10s, the brake system on my cts-v is worth more then that thing.

All I ever do is run my car.
Anyone on this board who knows me will tell you that.

The point is what separates fact from excuse.
I'm not making any excuses I said I think you're gonna win!

i had a hard time figuring out what side to be on and that about sums it up. Anyone that says that is a tool.

Aren't you Donald Trump with your 6 year old CTS lmfao..

Saying that my car and I both suck is running your mouth in my book especially when you don't even know who I am.

But I'm on your side... TonyGXP said it all.

He obviously grossly overpaid for his brake system since my shitty *** Regal is worth about $5000.
**** I just put Corvette Calipers, powerslot rotors and hawk ceramic pads, front and back along with stainless lines all for under $600.
I'd bet the Regal goes 60-0 better than that Caddy!

lol Donald Trump , thats a good one. But I work hard to pay for what Ive got so I appreciate it, could care less what you or juice think .

Ive had enough of this punk kid. I realize at this point he doesnt even care about racing or the cars.

I think he just gets a kick out of talking **** online.

Weather I win or lose the race hes just gona run his mouth anyways, as you can tell he already has his trash talking speech ready here if he does lose :

Stock intake, stock catback, toyo all season tires, stock clutch, stock etc...
I have very minor weight reduction which includes the skid plate, tow brace, and jack/spare.


Im done with this punk kid.

Way to be a man. Don't let a few words on the internet get under your skin. If you guys do race, make sure you get it on video. Most everybody in the srk section has a bad azz ride. The more videos the better. Juice: what's all done to the regal? I have a normal regal as a dd. For a big car, it moves pretty well. Yours is probally a real head turner. Catch a lot of people off guard? OP: do you live in Utah?

i think a tune, either from gm or aftermarket which makes use of holding boost up top, would make a race from a good roll hard for you to win. any mods and a tune then the further you run out the harder i think the cobalt would gap you. but from a stop you would beat one. like most boosted fwd cars a roll is its best friend. 40-120/140 would be interesting to see.

There's hardly any if none at all... it's a strange car that's not got quite the power of a new muscle car but has more power than an MS3 or a Cobalt or a Neon or... whatever. It's a very "middle of the road" sportscar that's still pretty cool, fun to drive, and great looking.

Let's be serious though, it's not a god machine but it's still impressive and a blast. Plus.. if you've never driven the 370z I think the car makes me feel real confident and it feels pretty tight through corners or spirited driving...

Bang for the buck for modded cars?? Obviously the one with the turbo...
honestly i would take a base i35 over a fully loaded 370z. or even a 11 gt or a camaro. i used to be a nissan owner and love the vq motor. but at my height the rear seats in all those cars are useless so its like a 2 seater to me anyway. if the 370 was a bit cheaper maybe i would pick it on the bargin for buck angle. but with the 11 gt out which is prob faster in nearly every manner ( stip, road course, etc) then a 370 i dont see how i would go for the slower car.

not knocking the 370, just its price range hits some very nice vehicles i would take over it.

whats funny is im right now watching vidoes of cobalts with the trifecta tune running 20 psi, intake,muffler delete and shortthrow shifter... and he ran 13.6@106.... obviously thats game over for a 370z........... noway i could beat that... anyhow... maybe eventually this cat will get a tune in the cobalt and we can run again
what did it gain in the 2nd 1/8.... thats where it would put a hurting on a car from a roll.

thats a bad arguement to make. you could take a miata and turbo that and out run a c6z06 for less then what a new 370z would cost.

thats really false. stock for stock a 370 would run decently with a gto and on a road course it would murder a gto.

but your car has run a fast 1/4 then his.

and we know his hp/tq since he posted a dyno.


so basically you have a proven car at the track vs the dyno queen. not sure how the advantage is in one guys favor over the other.
