I don't think they are really trying to make their cars fast, i think they are just trying to make their grocery-getter fast enough to get the milk home without it spoiling...haha. One day they will grow up and figure out that 8 beats 4 ANY day of the week given anywhere close to the same $$ input. Sure you can make a 4 faster than a stock V8, that's actually a lot easier these days with the (IMO)stupid car makers jumping on the wagon, but any V8 given relatively the same mods will win in a good race, AWD excluded for an race off the line.
that car had oem si wheels, orignal paint, hood, no stickers, no 14 spoilers on a hatchback, no Flava Flave clock sized tach on the dashboard... just a crap load of suspension and full cage.
I kept telling myself, NOW THATS HOW YOU MOD A IMPORT!!!..
Haha if he had the whole Transformer body kit, hello kitty stickers, numbers, front spoilers, back triple stacked spoiler, neon undercarriage lights ..... and still beat me? ya i would have just kept driving..... in shame.....

Yeah, but how often does something like that happen? I love fast cars, don't get me wrong but the RICED out cars need to die, not just "sport compacts" either, mustangs can be made to look shi**y just like any. I would give props to that guy for just making it fast. We do pay a little more for a larger starting point then they do but we also have more potential then the 4/6cyls. Like I said, mod for mod V8 wins, just like us racing a V10 lol.

but seriously.... theyre not that fast in a 1/4... eventually you'll catch up (stock for stock anwyays) in an 1/8th though, your toast.
unfortunately, theyre pretty easy to mod, so the liklyhood of you running a bone stock one is pretty slim. Id say Drag radials, full exhuast, weight reducation and nice shot of Nos to beat it in an 1/8th..
JUST ROLL RACE!!!! (ya right.... try and get an sti driver to roll race... lol)
