Default RE: Why do mustangs only race in straight lines!?!??!???

As far as the drifting thing....before i got my new tires i went drifting with a buncha dudes from school. Pretty much the only ones their drifting was a Turbo 2nd gen RX7 and a RWD carolla (pile of ****). The RX7 was fast, but he had to hit the corners way slow and ebrake his ****. All I did was push the gas harder. Needless to say they couldn't get as sideways as me or carry the speed i could just from the torque a v8 has. Also its easier to control a stang cuz you dont have to be bouncing it off the redline to keep it sideways, just feather the gas baby!

GUYS, STOP TAKING THIS SORT OF THING SERIOUSLY.

It's called trolling, when you respond it only eggs him on.

Why do mustangs only race in straight lines? That's like asking "Why do rich guysonly drivenice cars?" The answer to both questions is...because they can. No one wants to watch 17 second drag races. That's why Hondas race the twisties...it'sthe only placethat most of them can even pretend to be competitive. Mustangs can run road courseswith minimal mods. Hondas can't drag race though...unless their owners are rich.

I dont understand why the mods have to protect us from the troll insults, I would really have liked to see what he was talking about and possibly debate with him but now I cant
