Im not saying race gas =race car. But everyone knows that you can only use so much power in a street car effectivly. So why not chose one of the many combos that can make 600rwhp on pump 93? Thats gona be more than you can hook on a dirty street. Unless you like 800hp roll races

...or just man up and run a real tire with real suspension on the street. I know guys that hook up 8.50 cars on the street. 600rwhp is nothing.

Cars like that are pretty shitty overall street cars. Real tires and real suspension to you is shitty tires and crappy suspesion to someone else.

Some of you guys watch to much Fast and Furious and live your life a 1/4 at a time.

You're telling this to a guy that's already quicker than you. Doesn't make too much sense.

E85 being corosive, riiiiight. It's ethanol not methanol. The only thing it would be corrosive to is like pre-1990 cars with old *** fuel systems. Don't hate on the poor man's racegas.



Wrong, bringing a car out to perform at it's best IS bringing enough. That's like showing up a a gun fight when other people brought automatics and you brought a six shooter.



While I have never had personal experience in a faceplated trans car, I never said it made it more or less streetable. You just assume I said that, so you're reading comprehension fails you. For me, racegas and a faceplated trans are on the same level.

IMO, the only thing that makes a car a racecar is a 5 gal or less fuel cell.



...or other people don't want to DD their car so they can make their car perform very well in as many or as few areas as possible.



At least use proper grammar in your insults if nowhere else.

*You're an idiot.
Don't you get sick of correcting peoples' **** all the time? You are one persistent mothereffer.

So to sum it up: E85/C16 = racecar. Weight reduction, non-OEM (for specific vehicle) crate motor, faceplated trans, custom clutch, did I mention RETARDED amounts of weight reduction? = basically the same as your grandma's station wagon and in no way/shape/form could be considered a race car.
