Alright kids.... We all know that there is always someone faster and if not you have a target on your back.

Race what you have if you want. I always have, even the VW bug I had.
You just have to be selective about your competition. It isn't like everyone's mommy and daddy will buy them fast cars (or a car at all) when they're young. As far as I know its always been, "Run what you brung."

Hell, I jacked with a newer Mustang GT in the 170k mile 01 Grand Am GT we had. I was setting at a light and some young buck pulled up in the lane next to me and kept rolling forward and back (it was a standard). I figured he was pretty green and I could get him out of the hole so it was on. The light turned green, he hammered it and spun like I figured and I jumped 3 lengths in front of him and was laughing at him so hard I could barely drive at the point. No I didn't keep that lead, but its gotta suck to think your a bad *** just to have an old guy in a stock V6 4 door jump you like that then laugh at your a$$ as you try to get by him.

Yep, that is your OPINION, thing is, the V6 birds used to be a good match for the V8 Mustangs with auto trans....so, yeah, it CAN be fun whoopin on V8 ponies in a V6 bird I bet he had a little fun, even tho he got his *** handed to him. Now he has the itch to mod it & make it faster, no matter if he mods the V6, swaps in a V8 or just gets another car. Why rag on the guy, he was racing a car he thought he was on equal grounds with, it's not like he rolled up throwing pipe at a Z06 or something.

This is a car site where people discuss mods & racing, why shouldn't he post here?

Where did I say he shouldnt post here?

and yes, even though I dont race. I know that I would have absolutely no fun racing a v6 firebird vs a rsx. Also, like you've pointed out. This is all my OPINION, so who cares?

Yeah, he came here to tell us. So are you saying he shouldn't share his stories or that you are just bitchin' about it?

How would you know what fast is if you don't race? So are you just a dyno queen? Bench racer? Yeah, you are right, they are your opinions & since you seem to only be a bench racer/dyno queen those opinions don't matter much when it comes to racing. But hey, next time I want to know how to pad my dyno numbers I'll drop you a PM. Oh, and if you ever want to run, we have similar setups from what I can tell, you even put down more HP than I do, I'd be happy to get kicked out of HRP draggin your ***! OH ****, I forgot, you don't race. Sorry.

His story is gay. So I pointed that out. I dont care if he posts or not, but why dont we all post racing stories on here no matter what they race in. That would be fun right? I can just see it now... "I was in a stock tiberon yesterday and was lucky enough to have a xlt ford explorer pull up next to me on the highway"...

and even if your car could beat mine. I dont give a ****. No matter what you do, there will always be someone faster. wooptiefuckingdoo.

So, come on, tell us, why did you even mod your car & put N2O on it? If you don't race, are you compensating?

Also, I dont need to race my car to know that v6 firebirds are slow. One of my friends back in high school had a v6 97 camaro and he drove it like he owned a damn vette. I was in that car numerous times going WOT. And we barely past cars driving normal.

You really need to sell that car so someone more deserving can own it. You need a mini van or a hybrid.
