I was at a light and one rolled up, the guy and his girlfriend were going on and on about how bad it is.
He takes off and I give him a car head start, I reeled him in quick and waved bye bye as I passed. The look on his gilrs face was priceless. I kind of felt bad because he still had the temp plates on it, bet he was thinking twice about his new investment. Got his a$$ ripped up by a P.O.S. 5.0. It was very pretty and nice looking though! <edited><editID>Sean</editID><editDate>37868.7625578704</editDate></edited>

Think again, nothing wrong with it, and yes I know he was racing because he broke the tires in the first three. My stang has quite a few mods, I say P.O.S. because it is no new car. <edited><editID>Sean</editID><editDate>37868.7742939815</editDate></edited>

That is one of my pet peeves.I can't stand liars, and teach my kids the importance of honesty daily. I just thought I would share a kill story, as I posted before if you believe it or not, that is what went down.

Um, Sean isn't lying.</P>


If you guys knew anything about RX8's then you would know about Mazda's offer to buy-back the new RX8's, as they are rolling under 200hp on the dyno's. </P>


I can easily believe Sean mopped up the floor with that RX8. Do some research before you start flapping your lips.<IMG src=smileys/smiley7.gif border="0"></P>

RX8 comes in under 200HP unless it is the 6 speed which has 240ish. On the other hand, one thing rotaries never have been able to do: torque. Piddly torque numbers, not THAT great of HP numbers and a car just a smidge above 3000 pounds. The RX7s WERE badass because they weighed in at close to nothing. Not so the RX8.</P>
