Jdaniel, this is just my opinion, but i think a lot of people just don't like due to the fact that your KB cobra only ran a 12.1. Put some better suspension on it, get a better clutch (not stock) LOL, a better rear end, and run some 10 second quarter miles, then people will have a lot more respect.

If that was how it worked why should anyone respect you? (or me for that matter?)

And Silverbullet about a month ago you were the one talking about how stupid imports are because because some honda that came into (yours/or your friends shop)and after $3000 worth of mods mad 109hp.... I would find the quote but i don't have time to go through these pages to find it. And when I say import I don't mean ferrari, ect.

my first race and i won i was commin back from getting food with my cousin and i noticed this crazy lookin eclipse , i was like watch hes going to try to race me(saw him pointing at my car) , so i got on the highway to go home and it goes the on ramp and then the highway opens up so i drive slow to see if he does anythin and hammers it all i here is the bov i was omg this thing is turboed lol so i hammered it from second i gained a car and a half on him you should have seen his face, and they were like in there late 20's, then once i was in 5th i was good to go, i have no idea how fast i was going cause my car only goes up to 180km lol and it was barried fast , i am soo happy!!!
Turbo eclipses can be formidable opponents, indeed. I tried to get one for a long time before I bought my Stang. They really are great cars.

LOL JDANIELS KB cobra ran a 12.1? BAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHH

My cam only (non spray) car runs better than that. LOL.

And also, yes i made fun of the honda that had 3k in mods and made 109whp. A turbo eclipse is a different story altogether.

nice race, dont ya just hate imports that think they can smoke a mustang
since no import could ever beat a mustang or anything.

Nope... not without about $10,000+ worth of mods.
An STI will walk all over any stock mustang short of a terminator. And any ferarri currently made, as well as lamborghini, etc, will walk over ANY stock mustang. Stock. Oh yea theyre also imports. I thought u were just making a sarcastic joke, but it turns out you really are that ignorant.

You are the worst mustang fanboy i have ever seen, and i wish bad things upon you.

Normally when referring to a car as an import the first thing that comes to mind is a four banger rice burner and not a 4.0L V12 Pasta Rocket. So, im not as ignorant as you think.
My 2 liter 4 banger has whooped up on 2 mustangs GT's. I have $220 dollars in power mods. If my car counts as an import I dont know what your definition of import is...

The funny thing is every DSM ( Eclipse, Talon, Laser) ever made was built in good old Normal, IL. 70% of the parts on a DSM are American.

That's the same thing behind damn near every Civic since at least the 6th generation (96+). Built in OHIO using at least 70% American products.

Oh but the money goes back to Honda in Japan so that doesn't count.
