Default Beat a jetta

Well i had my first race with my 99 trans am m6, We hit it from a light and i caught no traction, But in first i was a foot or so in front while spinning, when i hit second i continued to spin, As soon as i caught traction i was at least 5 cars on him VERY quickly. I let him catch up to see what he had to say, and he yelled out the window "I only gots 6 cylinders" lol!

Good kill,

I have yet to impressed by any Volkswagens. Which isn't to say their not out there, but I sure as hell haven't seen them. First race ey?.. how'd it feel pulling past him like that?

Get some slightly better rubber on the ground and "pedal" it a bit more and you'll pull by em' even faster.

Good kill.

hey some jettas come with the VR6 engine which was originally designed from porshe. If you get a lightly modified one, im sure they could give some kind of a race. They're 200 HP stock, so im sure with a little more, it can hang with an LT1 no problem, and maybe an LS1, cuz they're pretty light. Nice kill

I am from Bartlesville which is north of Tulsa by 45 minutes. There are gatherings of Fbodies every so often. Most of the time in Tulsa we meet up at Sonic off Memorial on the weekends.
There are other local websites that cater to Fobodies. I wont tell you though because they hold **** in thier mouths and have banned me for talking about street racing and using words such as , ****, ****, rimmer, ****, *******, blow me, douche bag, suck it like you **** it bitch and so on..
I like a more refined sight that lets one speak thier mind.LOL
