So everyone who adds significant power to their car makes a perfect pass the first time out and never has to learn how to drive it? Wow, you're an idiot. Sometimes its better to let people think you're an idiot than open your mouth and remove all doubt.

so..... you added 150hp and only ran 1.75mph faster than you did bone stock? Dude, it takes a good driver to run a good ET, it does not take that good of a driver to get a good trap speed. Just someone who knows how to shift gears decently quick. And some better than average tires.


Pretty much nothing from your story is adding up so far.

Anytime you wanna make a run you just let me know man, anytime you wanna spar I'm down for that as well, anytime you think of something to say...don't! Just shove a wad of toilet paper in your mouth, and remember that having oral diarrhea got you into this mess from the get go.

there's no chance in hell you ran those times.


Your parents were right in allowing you to only get a focus, they saw the difficulty you were having operating a light switch, and were only trying to help you.


Clean up your act, and I do empathize ACT

So let me get this straight...SVT (which stands for SPECIAL VEHICLES TEAM) took a daily driver focus, and converted it into a daily driver focus? uhhhhh okay?? I'm sorry, but this is one hell of a failure of a car. And buddy...you didn't get your focus down the track that quick, and if you did, you should probably become a professional drag racer because clearly you are a better driver than anybody else. Hell you hold the record for fastest SVT focus on earth!!!

I hate Foci, but you do realize that there was an N/A Cobalt with 170hp as well that was called the SS, right?
