Nobody needs to respect a piece of **** riceburner just because it can be fast, either.

Any car can be made fast, doesn't mean it deserves to earn anyone's respect.

"Going fast" is only one part of the equation.

In a race for money, "going fast" is THE ONLY part of the equation

IKR. I don't care about rice burners either.

Yea, but wouldn't you rather beat someone in a nice car than beat them in some pile of **** riceburner?? I mean at the end of the day the guy is still driving a mirage, which is a piece of garbage no matter how much money he's invested in it. Its still ugly, it still has no value, and it still sounds like crap. The other guy still has a nice car that people will respect.

Its about having a nice all around car thats still fast, there is no point to having a fast piece of ****, IMO.

I'd drive a piece of **** on wheels if it could do 10's. Not everyone wants a nice car to be fast.

I doubt the Mirage is that guy's only car... a buddy of mine had a DD '95 pea-green Mirage coupe that he turbocharged in his garage for practice and he would race people with it, but he also had a 355W ~700rwhp (on spray) '83 foxbody hatch and a T70-equipped '95 Cobra that he also did himself.

How many races do you think I'll get in my Z06? How many of those will I have a chance of winning? The answers (around here) are few and none.

If I wanted to take people's dough a car like that Mirage would be perfect.

What's this have to do w/ racing? Um, nothing. Just a line from an old movie that made me laugh...

Nope, never.

I just think its pointless to put a shitty motor in an even shittier car thnan its already in.

A nice sleeper is something like a 98-02 turbo Regal, or a clean T-Bird with a Terminator swap. Not some pile of **** mirage with a crapy evo motor that sounds like its about to blow up.

It is only out of morbid curiosity I read onebadassws6's posts. Its like that train wreck you can't stop watching. You know someone is going to get flamed but you have to see it.

Just curious, but what would you say to a 12 year old Nissan with a GM engine/drivetrain swapped in it?

but the mirages are super light and if they used the awd drivetrain from the gsx or tsi it would be wicked. ive owned 4 dsms and love how easy it is to get huge horsepower from those bulletproof motors.
