back then when supras and other imports started making alot of power and kicking the domestic asses on the highways..the domestic guys started crying saying that imports cant run on the from a dig, independent suspensions suck, roll racing is gay, BLAH, BLAH...

but then import guys actually started using slicks and running 8s and 9s in street trims!!!!

now the domestics guys are finally making good power in street trims and guess what?? they are only roll racing...LOL

and then you had people calling imports dyno queens..Now there is one being put out every other week on this site..

Personally, I couldn't give a crap if someone owns a 18 second car and thinks roll racing takes no talent. It doesn't require a 9-second pass to figure that out. I've been over 200 mph in a car before, it isn't that scary in the right car. 60-130 racing is over in a few seconds, wow the talent it takes there to shift one gear!

I wish I could own a 1,000 hp car someday, so I could be accepted on the internet. I fail at internet boy racer life.


couldnt agree with you more. spending thousands of dollars having a high profile shop build you 1000hp motors so you can go 200mph and kill people on the highway is cool and all but theres something special about friday night drag racing. big blocks that dont have to rev to 8k to make power. staying up late at night with friends fixing the stuff you broke. that kind of thing.

not that i have a high hp car or anything, but theres nothing more fun than driving out to that secluded road behind the titty bar over off 820 and busting some ***. its always fun beatin up on much newer vettes and mustangs because some rich kid doesnt know how to drive lol. beats the hell out of honking 3 times and mashing the gas imo.

I suppose I hurt your feelings? Sorry you can't take a joke Joe. I also didn't mention any specific cars here. I also said I like the occasional roll race, but also understand that it takes zero driver skill.

Now, please bring your keyboard with you to the next car gathering, because you don't act like this in person. I'll tell you the same thing I said here in person, and give you a chance to type the reply back to me in person.

Sum Up.
roll racers suck
racing from a dig is awsome
cars who make over a 1K are just used for status quo
Not wanting to break parts every month is frowned upon


WOW I forget there is just a wealth of knowledge here on tech, now I'm ashamed

Hector,

Don't take anything in this thread seriously. Just fun and games. Your car hauls ***, and I'm glad to see you out driving it.

Nick, Duy and most of us go way back, over 10 years now. I can tell when they are goofing off online. Some people just take things too seriously. No need for anyone to get all defensive.

BTW I'm not offended, Nick knows I didn't care if he posted the vid, it just shows that i have a really really slow vette . People can only jugde with the little amount of info that was given...here chew it up
Wut did he said?


Where did I say you're car was slow? Where did I make this assumption? In that video, at that particular time, you lost and that's all there is to it. You are the one getting your undergarment twisted. Stop crying for attention. Maybe you should go to the 2010 camaro license plate thread since you, like them, see something different than what's actually there.

I will leave it at that.

Is that all it would take to become an internet hero? I can make that happen quickly, if so.

Nah. Maybe later. I'm in no hurry.
