So they talked me into racing the other night. I just happened to have my DRs on[sm=drooldude.gif]. I took the guy with the Hoosier pretty easily. I spun in 1st pretty badbut hooked second and passed him when I hit 3rd. Hehas stock pulley, CAI and tune @ 8psi. I don't know what he traps but he siad he does consitant 12.40s which is what I did last time at the track with a slipping clutch and stock diff. I stopped @100ish and was 4-5 in front of him.

The other Lightning is @10 psi, CAI and tune. No DR's for him. If he had the DR's it would have been better. But he spun, I didn't.

Nice kills man. What mods you got?

I know what you mean about having to suffer the ricer antics. Sure, it's entertaining for 15 minutes but it's all so relentless and tiresome. I don't know what's worse, their driving or their "smack" talk.

I understand everyone is proud of their cars, ricers included, maybe a little too proud, but you've got to use your head. If cops keep making circles around your group or break up something and are known to be in the area, don't be stupid.

I didn't meet with these guys to race, but rather talk about cars and get away from some screaming kids. Oh, and I finally smoked my cigar. Took me long enough . . .

Cool! I love seeing lightnings on the street. Useless for a fast truck, but cool ashell if you ask me, especially modded

WTF does that mean???? Can you tow a 19ft Skeeter (1440 dry weight and about 2200 loaded) with your Mach???? You need to do some research on the "useless" truck before you make replies like that. The only thing I can think you mean is the SRT that could not tow a bag of air behind it without busting the rear.
