You need to get your *** to the track, bud. Run once or twice, then just watch.

When you know a little more than nothing, then you might be able to show your face around here without embarrassing yourself. Might.

I did go the the local 1/8 mile track last weekend. There was a Mach 1 there actually and it was running high 8's. Big whoopdedo. The NeonNeonNeon 4 driver was doing about the same.

You do realize that a low 8 second 1/8 usually translates into a mid 12 second 1/4, depending on the top end....which the mach 1's and the ls1's have. While your little go cart may whine and scream to something like 7500rpms but you dont have a steady and significant hp increase like us.

Get your posts in quick. I'm getting tired of your babbling.

LOL, JK. I didn't run because the road that leads back to the track is to rough for my little boxster s. It all gravel and potholed. I need a trailer. The track is pretty ghetto.I bet I could get her into the 8's after a few trys. I've never done an official, timed race before. I know I suck because of this....but hey whaddya gonna do? I may take my car to Terra Haute and race at there 1/8 mile some day. I don't really like standing start drag races as it is hard in the equipment...especially the clutch. I think a cltuch replacement is like 2k bucks and I would rather spend my flow on mods.

I'd recommend some flashy clothes, or maybe a ***** enlargement. It'll go with your car, and be something else you can talk **** to everyone about.

Car mods aren't going to do you a lot of good, since you don't track it. You can make up stories for free...why spend money on mods? Just tell everyone you modded it and killed X amount of cars.

I hate boxters, but that's mainly because i'm over six feet tall and there is no way that i can ride in the passenger seat, let alone drive one.

Hey, that's not a bad idea. It would be alot cheaper than buying all the expensive *** mods for the car. Wait, I have a better one. I'll just come on here later and tell everyone I own a carrera gt and no one will be the wiser. I will waste everyone with the gt. ls1 ownage crazy style.

carrera gt,boxster s .No matter they will both get owned ..
Ive schooled many but the high dollar cars are the best..Nothing like seeing a guy that spent 150k on a car to get his *** waxed by a 17k dollar car.

You must have one huge turbo on that puppy. 620whp isn't too shabby. You think you can take a carrera gt though? 11.5's are a tough act to follow. But you do have alot of juice going to the wheels. I think it would be a good race.

I see. I don't know much about cars as you guys can tell. But, I don't lie either. I'm sure you guys are much better drivers than the guys that I raced. Even a riced out civic gets lucky once in awhile.

Guys, let's leave this ***-stain Boxter owner alone. He is obviously a troll trying to start trouble. Let him go beat NeonNeonNeon-10s and the like. God knows his "260"hp Boxter can do it!
