Default Lets talking about people who dont understand racing

All the half retarded people listen up, just because you saw some grandma at the track running 18sec 1/4 mile times in a evo, or you saw a modded cobra go 14s DOES NOT FUCKEN MEAN THERE THAT SLOW!



ITS CALLED BAD DRIVING!


So next time your at the track and you beat somone with more mods and having a faster can than you, its because you are getting better traction and or out driving them.


WHY IS THIS SO HARD FOR PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND?

I think he's referring to guys that post **** like, "Man I saw a new GT500 at the track the other day running 13s... guess they aren't that fast." And I understand what he's saying, just might not be the proper place to say it...

it's apart of life man, just the way it is sometimes... you always have to put up with people like that. Best thing to do is educate them, or ignore them. peace.

A car is a complete package, including driver. Some GT500's are only 13 second cars due to the complete package

95% of the race is the car and the other 5% is the driver............better make that 5% count.

The gt500 has incredibly shitty suspension and doesn't even have an LSD...

There is another version like gt450 or something that has a bit lower hp but it's not a slug...

I think we can safely blame this on the OP...he speaks of being only "half retarded" but look closely.

Starting with the title, just try to read it. English please next time perhaps a punctuation mark or two would help as well.

And about this "fast can" he speaks of

Ahhh screw it...
