Lightbulb nothing important...just wondering

why is it that everyone i know/have ran into with an import(mostly evos, sti's) use an SS as the 1st thing that comes to mind that they "beat" racing? ahah i think its kinda funny but everyday at work its " o a SS? i smoke those all the time" or " those things are way to heavy there tanks and arent fast at all". i just find it a little weird that thats the only thing that comes to mind wen they talk about racing or cars period. always gotta hate on the SS. also these dreamers love to talk about M5's and **** like that talkin about how badddd it would spank a SS. its like ok...well that cars 90k+ my car cost maybe 28 brand new. if i put 62k into my camaro it would smoke the **** outta a m5 ahah but its ok because i know half of them have to b full of **** because ive SMOKED a evo and sti b4. im figuring they were stock but still. and there **** anyway cause ive beat them all (co workers drive 06 gli, i duno wat year dumdumdumdum and a regular jetta 1.8t ) i just find it kind of annoying that i get hated on STILL and ive smoked every1 that works with me . k im done haha just had 2 see if any1 else was annoyed lol peace

Im not an import guy and never will be but to be honest the Evos and STIs are quick and can be faster with mods. I would never own one but I give them that respect. Until they come off with that "your cars a tank" ****.Ive only run into that a couple times.

Last STI I raced was when I had just intake and exhaust and his girlfriend and mine were friends.He talked about how fast his car was until he saw my car and gave it the respect that it deserves, I enjoy racing guys like that. He actually wanted to race again because he got some new gizmo but when he heard I changed the cam he said fuc* no...lol.

There was a guy around here with an sti that had exhaust, fmic, & higher boost. He was being really cocky and called out my whole car club. So the three of us that were there all gave him an *** whooping. Even the least modded of us with just headers beat him by a car lol. Tell the guys that say they beat an SS that it must have been the impala ss or malibu ss!

I had some coworkers (one has an early 80s El Co with a stock SBC 350, and the other has a stock RSX - non S) giving me crap about my car. I tried getting them to race in the large parking lot at work, but they always turned me down for the typical ricer excuses, e.g. clutch, street tires, my gauge cluster is torn out so I don't have a speedometer, etc. Then I showed them the dyno numbers. For some reason it worked and that shut up the guy with the RSX real quick... lol. ****** bench racers!
