Has anybody ever had a good race with a 4-cylinder car?

Yeah, but rice cars can be $10,000 cheaper to buy in the first place matching year to year.
Wow, so you can get a 1992 import for $10,000 less than the $3,800 I paid for my 1992 GT? WOW! Where do I find that deal? I would like someone to pay me $6,200 to take a car, I don't care what it is! If I take a few hundred of those offers I'd be rich!! [sm=lol.gif]
[sm=smiley3.gif] That means I could make $7400 off of an '89 import. Where do I sign up?

I've slept in my car once. [sm=smiley16.gif]
I would think one of the older escorts could be a good sleeper if you could get a v8 in it & make it rwd.

I will have to say, it takes a little more than a CAI and exhaust to hit a 14.9 in a probe! haha... Something like a 100 shot of NO2..

Dont talk about a car when you dont know anything about it.

Those are the timeslips on probetalk.com, it doesnt take much to put a probe into 14s, with a 75 shot of N20 it would be easy to reach 13s. and i dont think you have much room to make fun of a probe because in your sig it says you ran 15.6 stock and my probe ran 15.4 stock. sure the mustang has a lot more potential but the probe is faster than you stock for stock

see the problem is on this site alot of boys have these cars and dont know **** about them. ricers. **** i seen so many ricers on this site with mustangs. if you mean imports...please come pay a visit.. ill get a dozen imports that dont have any ricer **** on them to clean house and not to much money into them. im talking about cars in the 11s,12s,13s all for next to nothing in money. just build by themselves and good knowledge. yes that probe can be fast for cheap money. dont hate on other cars cause you suck in knowledge of your own

"With an auto I would say somewhere in the mid 15's... I have seen a guy with new tires, headers, full exhaust, a custom chip, and a stall in an AOD run 17's... I don't know.. Can't be a bad driver, it's an auto for goodness sake... I would say get a t-5!! lol... But it depends on location/weather/traction, etc."





are autos that slow????

i thought with a shift kit and torque converter they would be comparitively fast with a manual. All of those mods he has and only mid fifteens???

HAHAHAA, I think you and your little rice buddy JDP are full of ****!!! hahaha, I go to many many races and I have never once seen an import in the 11's,12's,13's without HUGE mods, something like 5-10g's into the car.. and im talking full fiber body, huge slicks, and a b45 blow-tech BS you guys brag about.. I am sure your probe didn't run 15.4's stock, and if it did it would have no chance running that at LACR, so don't try to talk about that here alright.. Keep putting money into that hole you call a car, and we'll see where you match up with my next trip to the track okay? Keep modding...

Just a side note, I believe nitrous is N2O, not NO2 like everyone seems to think here...
