LOL... i have seen a few white guys here in Maryland on 22's... some people need to realize they sell big rims in the burbs as well as the hood... Glad you doin your thang in Cali homie but lets make this race happen between you and stopsign... hell he is only 4 or 5 hours from me here and maryland. Haven't meet him in person but like anybody he loves his car and knows what he can do just like you and the SRT guys... so lets set something up playa... i'm going to SC next weekend to get fireworks... PM stopsign and see what you can setup and put this beef to rest... can i get a AMEN...lol

lol niterider i didn't even know you were black i thought you were hispanic for some reason. Goes to show you how little stereotypes effect me. Its just a different style look of cars? What does race have to do with it.

If you came to where i live all the cubans have 22s+ on everything.

Its just another rim nothing more or less.

Anyways like i previously said lets compare trap speeds. Obviously a 110 mph car will walk a 105 mph car on the street. At the track which car has the potential to have a lower E/T? the Higher MPH car. Basically meaning the higher MPH car is faster.
Yep, because my meaningless opinion of the lower ET time equals a win at the quarter mile strip is invalid

Oh and saving around $1,500 a month from rent for just say 4 years=$72,000 isn't much bank for a house. Making $60k a year with $1,000 monthly debt and a 30 year mortgage at 4% with a 30/39 ratio and $72,000 down is only around $215,000 for a house
I'm from Iowa, so not really lol. I wasn't downing him at all. The Socal area is very expensive.

Thanks for the advice. Seeing as how ~$300k gets you a 4000+sf house in the Des Moines suburbs, I think I'd be OK (assuming 20% down here) with a $72,000 down payment by your math. Property taxes around here that should qualify for $260k house with $60k/yr income. I don't need a house that large though. I'll have $0 debt when I get out of college except the eventual mortgage payment. Have cash on the side to purchase a new DD and some money set aside for additional toys. Buddy wants to purchase that as his home for about 5 years - so I'd be helping him out and have a place to stay while keeping costs down. Maybe when I find an old lady I will feel more obligated to buy a house lol

I'd love to live out in Cali. What's the Daniel Tosh joke? "The midwest is for people who gave up on their dreams".

Again, meaningless. When was this argument about which car would win at the strip? The whole argument is about which car is faster. If you want to talk about HOW FAST a car is you talk trap speeds, not E/T's.

Stopsign generally races at the strip and they were arguing about ET's. Guess what - the car at the strip wins on ETs

Okay. Since you're a bit slow, ill help ya out just cause i feel bad for you and your bad hair cut in your pics.

I questioned why they were talking E/Ts if the whole subject of this debate is which car is FASTER. Meaning why argue E/Ts, When trap speeds are what dictate how fast a car can be?

What you just quoted was exactly what i was arguing in my other post?

Seriously, stop. Just stop.

And the debate begins

the "Quick" vs the "fast"

A car goes the 1320 in XX seconds giving a time answer = quick

A car goes the 1320 at XXX mph giving a speed answer = Fast

That is how I see it. LOL

Yeah but any of these RWD cars are capable of being "quick" (having a good E/T) It just needs the trap to back it up.

With some work (a driver mod/tires) you can really see what each car is capable of from the factory.

You know how many 11 sec bolt on ls1 f-body's there would be if people truly cared more about E/Ts on here? lol. I think i would rather throw a Heads/Cam combo before justify buying a beefy enough rear to go to the track.

I don't think ive seen a 11 sec mach 1 with bolt ons yet. Has anyone done it? If so that's really impressive.
