i havent really "raced" just played a little some girl on the highway i guess was being all flirty so was kinda the "u go i go" thing just passing each other veering through traffic, then we got to a point were we were alone and so we both gunned it she ended up kicking my ass coz my electronic gov kicked in at 115mph
funny thing is she was driveing a chevy S10 lol

another time me and a female friend i talk to from time to time she supped up her mitsubishi eclipse she just wannted to see what kinda jump she wuld have off the redlight i allowed it her car culd definatly kick my ass if she knew how to drive it correctly at the light she was spinning while i was hawling ass to the next traffic light
my car can get a really good jump depending on the weather any other time it will either be kinda sluggish or my tires are such a hard compund that they spin even while makeing a turn at reasonable speeds

Was it one of those new Eclipses? Those V6 Eclipse look like they could easily destroy us.

So, I'm driving through the La Vale, near Frostburg, which is where I go to school. I'm behind this 1985 mustang, which is the ugliest thing I have ever seen. Well, he is driving slow as balls. So, when it opens to two lanes I go around him, nothing aggressive just a pass and he did not react. Well, at the next stop light he still does nothing, but when it goes green he lets out a disgusting roar from that piece of crap and guns it. I say to my friend "eh, what the heck." So, I gun it as well with him having the head start because I was unaware of the race. I beat him before I even had to shift out of second gear. It was pathetic and made me hate mustangs even more.

So today i raced a Cobalt SS supercharged. He was behind me when i saw him so to have a lil fun i gunned it. So did he. We had to stop cuz cars was in front on us. And at the very next light we got caught at it and i said on green im going for it. He srugged. Light turn turn i got on it, launch was ok but couldve been better. I heard his supercharger and sounded like he had an exhaust. He pulled maybe 3 cars on me. When we was goin ready to turn off he said " You knew you couldnt fuc* wit me right" I said "that's cool cuz you F.I and im stock but you didnt even beat me by much" He said he was stock but i didnt believe it. With enough work our cars can take a tuned one.

today on my way home from work I get a tremendous ricer blow-by on my driver side before entering the highway.

The Car:

2004 Honda Civic EX Coupe with carbon fiber trunk, carbon fiber hood + pins (lol) , intake, exhaust and one arrogant driver.

So I'm behind him at the entrance to the interstate and he chirps off in first gear to show how fast he is (rolls eyes)

so I match up with him around 80 mph just to see how he would behave and he's leaving just enough room for me to get by if I was fast enough to pass on the right, but I didn't want to chance rear ending him if he decided to be a prick.

I could tell by the room he was leaving that he wanted to test if I was fast enough to pass... as soon as I put my blinker to change lanes to the right, he speeds up by down shifting to 4th and I'm ready..

I could hear his engine screaming with all it's might but it was no use, all that carbon fiber was for show and his car was a severe disappointment, I scream past him on the right

even a stock tC would have killed this guy

the fact that his car was dressed up with carbon fiber everything, tinted windows and a loud intake made it appealing. (especially the hood pins)

hahah picking on ricers is amusing. It seems like once a month i get one that thinks hes all that and tries to run but then falls flat on his face as i pass him up. They dont even look at me they turn around and go a different direction once ive passed them

Well a guy i work with has a 07 ram. When he first got it he was sayin thatmy tc is slow and his truck runs 14's stock when he get his twin turbo setup he will be running 11's and all this bs. He told me he beat a tc with intake header and exhaust. I said whatever, you didnt beat me so that dont count. So he said do you wanta run. I said yea why not. The 1st time we was from a roll about 40 he gassed it first and then i gassed it. He kept up wit me until the end of 3rd into 4th. I wore him a new hole. I had him by 3 cars. So then we made a u turn and raced from a dig. My launch was sweet. I had him the whole race. That time i had him by at least 4 or 5. We are both stock, so i know he didnt beat a tc wit mods.

Whoa thats pretty sick. I got a deep respect for some trucks cause they are damn quick. But the one you raced was probably a 6 cylinder one right? I dont know if we can take the V8s haha.

But nice win anyways

I learn something new all the time

I didn't know the Dodge Ram comes in a v6, to me that doesn't make sense but I suppose the person buying it doesn't want any performance

http://www.edmunds.com/ne...1500/100811023/specs.html

^that's the website that shows the specs for the 2007 Dodge Ram V6 with a six speed manual

with no passengers it weighs 4560lbs and only has 215hp, that's a horrible power to weight ratio!

Depends on the turbo. Those cars are over 200 WHP stock. Remember that's to the ground. I've seen them hit 14.2 bone stock with temp plates at the track. Most turbo kits get the tC to 200 HP, but is that crank or wheel? There's so much that depends on the drivers also.

I think you're thinking of the S/C maybe?? The weakest turbo for the tC, which i think is the ZPI Stage 0 kit? Gets the tC up to about 230 WHP depending on other mods. someone chime in that might correct me
