gearing makes up for the lack of torque plus I weigh much less, torque isnt helping the z06's and H/C/I fbodys when they are getting walked on by the turbo civics that are not making **** for torque

Oh yes the torque is still helping, thats why in the video of the Z06 racing that tubo civic, the Z06 gets the big jump each time allowing him to win. And turbo car's are a different story.
I'd love to take a stock 96-98 GT and do like a 0-120mph race against you in that 100hp puddle jumper and see how well you hang.

I'd love to take my mustang and do like a 0-whatever race against you in that puddle jumper trans-am and see how well you hang, I guarantee I’ll have more cars on you than a 96-98 would have on my Mirage.

a puddle jumper refers to small economy car. My car is very far from being a "puddle jumper" If anything, both your car's are puddle jumpers.
Funny you calling my WS6 a puddle jumper, lol. and damn, you're on an Fbody forum calling arguably the nicest of the fbodies a puddle jumper. Sure your car may be faster with your NAWWWSS but who cares, I could easily put my car on a big bottle if thats what I wanted and my car is 10X nicer. Your car looks like an old beater sentra w/bigger tires

I love F-bodys too, yes you have a nice looking car, much nicer than mine but I didnt think we were talking like riceboys and talking about how much nicer your car looks, we were talking about racing and thats all i'm talking about, and I have laid out the facts thats all but you dont like the facts I suppose.

If you had 3 people in the car and one was 310lbs you couldn't outrun a freagin moped. Obviously the guy in that 96-98 was not even racing. I'd never expect that kind of a street story from a guy like you who has a really fast car. There are so many ignoramus's out there in these slow *** cars thinking they beat faster car's when the faster car's arent even racing. I get that all the time b/c my car is so loud people think I am actually racing, its funny sometimes. I know I'd never personally race a friggin mirage...thats just silly. I wouldnt even be able to tell if it was trying to race.
As I said before my girlfriend got one as a rental car one time and couldn't believe how slow the thing was. She said when she got back in the 1990 Cougar (LS with the 6cyl, not even the 8cyl model) that the cougar felt so fast in comparison, and believe me that cougar is no runner, lol.
I'm sorry but any year mustang GT will slaughter that thing. That Mirage is definitely in the top 10 of slowest cars nowadays, maybe top 3 even. Its certainly not built for speed, lol.

LOL this guy is hilarious. He's arguing looks on a racing forum 
That's classic.... His car is a puddlejumper? The mustang? You, my friend, are full of ****. First off, his motor is setup for a turbo, which he isn't running. I have never been in it while he sprayed. But I tell you what, when he shifts that thing it jumps ******* lanes. And that was before his good tires! I don't just doubt, I KNOW that you would be destroyed by him. He is no bullshitter and definitely knows how to put together a great setup. Save yourself the humiliation and don't post in this thread again...

Save yourself the humiliation and don't post in this thread again...As far as looks, it's not just about looks, I was stating that my car in general is all around a lot nicer, which was a reaction to him calling my car a puddle jumper as if his car was so much better or something. I know his car is fast, and I realize this is a racing forum, but this is also an FBODY forum and the fact is there is a lot more to a car than just how it does it a straight line. Now his Mitsubishi Mirage is in fact a puddle jumper regardless of how fast you guys think it is.
So YOU save yourself the humiliation of posting any more *** clown.

And for the record this thread was only about his Mirage until he said this:
"I'd love to take my mustang and do like a 0-whatever race against you in that puddle jumper trans-am and see how well you hang, I guarantee I’ll have more cars on you than a 96-98 would have on my Mirage"
Thats the only reason my car even got involved.
LOL at this thread i can agree with that.

Thank you.
For the record, I have complimented your car in other threads. One was a thread with a video of some races you had. redrocket, I never challenged his mustang to a race. How many times do I have to say I know its faster? LOL. I'm about 350rwhp right now, so a nice shot of giggle juice should put me in the ballpark though if that's what I really wanted. I want to stay na though, building it up slowly but surely

Are you serious?? LOL Oh no...not the 3rd grade "you're gay" putdown...anything but that!
Anyhow, the point was to say to mach1, thanks for the compliment on my car, I didn't mean to put down your car...I do like it, and certainly respect it's performance.
