I never said rx7's
ORIGINAL: PERTANO

I've never been much on Civic's but the Old School Corolla's with 3tc's and Mazda's with Rotarys are nothing to disregard. I had a RX-4 that would take my 05 to the Cleaners and my friend has a Corolla that runs mid 10s and he drives the damn thing every day to work. So Civic's yeah, girl car. But there are some serious 4 bangers out there so I'm always cautious of when one of them picks a fight with me.

Give me a built up Boss 302 and I'll eat 'em for lunch. Getting a fast car is easy. Getting a fast car that looks good and turns heads, now that's a bit harder. I would take an 13 second mustang over a 10 second Corolla any day. A friend of mine in college had a Pinto with a 302 built to the max stuffed in it with supercharger all. That sucker was quick and would run 9 second quarters all day. But at the end of the day it was still just a crappy Pinto with an expensive engine.

Just my 2 cents.

That's what you get for roll racing a front wheel drive ricer....it's their specialty.

I'm no fan of roll racing, but will do it occasionally, but from 40mph? That's just excessive. Next time you see him take him from a 20 roll or a dig and see how far you smoke him.....just do it at the track of course.

Roll racing is like the cliff's notes for *fast car drivers* The dumbest thing I've ever seen. I'll take a track or abandoned road any day

So do I ....but any car that is small and light with forced induction can potentially beat our stangs.

Here is a 9 Sec Corolla owned by a very good friend of mine. You can see it almost every thursday night at Irwindale Drag Strip. Car still hasn't reached it's full potential and is running 6.30's in the 1/8 and a best quarter time of 9.98. All with stock suspension and on a 7 inch tire!!! The car is nothing more then a fuel injected 3tc with a large turbo and cal trac's bars.

Why does everyone hate roll races so much? Its a lot easier on your clutch and tires and not everyone you race will go from a dig.
