you're extremely ignorant if you think racing any import is a waste of time. sorry to say but 10s is quick but its nothing spectacular. theres tons of people quicker.

ignorant threads like this should be locked from the begining

Right now i live in Missouri but am moving to South Carolina in a month or two. Yeah I do run in the 10s at 148mph. For a civic he's running really good. Hats off to him. But I do think I would beat him. i mean i do have more motor.
Don't you have a bad *** truck or something?Like a 468 B.B Chevy with spray?

Umm, Where does the majority of the money go? Yeah I thought so. A question for you, why do you hate America?
Where is this coming from? I pray for our soldiers every night.

I said this is funny stuff a few times now because of the original post. It is funny because the OP's car is an import. Ok, fine I'll say the word...Ironic.

Some imports aren't slow with less "motor"... This one has 3.0L I6 single turbo.

but "slow" is theoretical. A 12-13 second is fast by most peoples standards.. faster than 11's is racecar standards. IMO.

Mike will be changing his setup again soon I belive, not sure. My friend with an SRT4 will soon be 10's as well. Anywho, I doubt either of you will drive that far for a run.

My grand daddy runs in the quick 8 outlaws. When I get moved I can find out what track is closest to you guys in the up coming season. Check out his car at q8outlaws.com his name is David Ross.

There's alot of outlaw pro mod/outlaw 10.5 racing here in Alabama,I'm guessing quick 8 outlaws are similar.

i have been saying this all over the internet.. why don't you guys compare cars stock for stock? otherwise whoever has more money will win the race no matter which car you got.. i am just thinking right now.. i own 06 stang GT and runs mid 13s 1/4 mile.. if would be RICH, or enough money, don't you guys think that i could make my GT 8 sec? i sure can. MONEY TALKS!!! you posted a 240zx video. ok i repsect the power he is making now but come on.. that thing is not 240zx anymore.. other than body, they prolly changed everythingelse to run 8 sec. again, if you are into racing and if you got money then you can be 8 sec. car. but if you compare to stock for stock then you would be REALLY comparing the cars... anycar can be made fast.. so what you got stock?

first of all no one leaves their cars stock, otherwise this site would be pretty much worthless. also you say with mods its all about who has more money, well its the same with stock for stock. most of it is which costs more. ls1s are great cars, but theyre more expensive than a fox. there isnt a whole lot of reason to compare stock for stock unless its 2 stock cars racing lol
