Default Got killed

I was driving the ss up to my performance shop to check out some rear ends. When i see a srt-4 looked nice lowered and had a burble to it. I got up next to him and threw him a rev he trew one back with that blow off valve screaming at me. We went when the light turned green i got him out of the hole but he quickly got a 6 car lead on me. after that asswhipping, we pulled into the same shop. he asked if it was a ls1 I replied with nope to bad it wasnt.(might of been different story). I asked him how much he is putting to the wheels and when he said 390fwhp i was like wtf how?

what about 10's and 9's.........

An that was weak of you to try and get the last word in and close that other thread for no apparent reason. It was a perfectly good thread. Just because I was throwing everythig you guys were saying back in your face?

It has nothing to do with that. I will not allow you or any of your srt butt buddy's to troll here.

edit: 10's aren't fast. 9's are approaching fast.

10's arent fast... 9's barely..... you live in a funny world......

Anyways... like i said before, we have SRT-4's from the low 8's up. All it takes is money my friend. An the desire to try and build a monster.... But most people want a little more out of there car. Like for example, I'd take my 14 second celica and put it up against your Cobra in any kind of twisties, an i'd hand you your *** on a platter.... Hell i'd hand my SRT its ***, But it doesnt have stragiht line go fast qualities..... I think the SRT is in the middle...... Im bet that A srt could take your Cobra in some mountain twisties aswell

Hey moltenjizz, is there any particluar reason you feel the need to come into our house, and start calling people out with your cute little Mary cars? Why would you think we'd give a ****?


Take all your neons, celicas and go play on your little twisties with the hondas. We don't care. We won't ever. There's a reason why guys like Unit don't think 13's are fast. They've been around enough real **** to know the difference. Do you honestly think anyone gives a labia's dripping about twisties when they're running sub-10 sec slips? Have a nice life, and with any luck it won't last very long. Well at least for everyone elses sake.
