Why the hell is my car so fast?

[mto502]

and the price argument is dumb, especially when you are making monthly payments.

That has to be the most uneducated/ignorant comment I've seen yet

I can see you with a cane at the age of 63 still making those payments on a car that isn't worth the paper it's written on

obviously you decided to respond to a post that had nothing to do with you because you got butthurt over my last post.

that statement isnt ignorant at all, but way to copy what I said to you and try to use it against me.

when you lose to someone and say "well he spent half as much as I did on his car"

Who cares how much he spent. HE BEAT YOUR ASSS run what you brung hope you brung enough.

Don't make excuses or you're nothing better than a ricer who says, "yah well you have 4 more cylinders than I". It's your fault for losing because of the platform you chose to modify and the fact that you haven't put enough into your car to be faster. Don't make idiot comments to stroke your self esteem after a loss.

AND why is it idiotic to make the money argument between new cars? here goes. Say car a is faster than car B stock. you say car A costs 2K more than car B and use that difference in price as justification in why its a better platform because you can use the 2k you save to buy mods. well you dont actually have 30K cash in hand and decide to buy the 28K car and spend the 2k you saved on the 28k car as aposed to the stock faster 30K car.

THIS IS NOT HOW IT WORKS. Real world accounting tells you that you are making payments for the car and not paying cash. The difference in payments on 28k and 30K car are not thaaat much different. From your monthly paycheck to paycheck lifestyle, you cant just go throw down on a big mod... NO, you save maybe 100 a month,maybe freed up from the cheaper payment, and thats givin that the other motor company doesnt have a better down payment and interest rate as apposed to the one on your car. In this case the more expensive car could be more spare change friendly. Fact is you are both paying close to the same. maybe you will have extra cash for mods and get 3 mods to his one a year. well guess what! that one mod is going to put his car out of reach of your 3 mods so quit your crying


just a little business perspective on things.

Oh, and yes I am going to be making payments at 63. since I paid cash for my car

If you find my opinion ignorant then to each their own. I won't lose sleep over it. Yes nitrous is illegal and the absence cats is illegal. That's why my car is legal. No, a larger cam is not illegal. A SC is always there but when your nitrous bottle runs out where are you? It's fake horsepower and yes that's my opinion.
If you don't like it use your ignorant mouse finger and click the X on the top right corner of your screen.

it's not fake

and maybe thats why you are slow for what you have... because you want to stay legal, or maybe you just dont know how to assemble and tune your setup properly.

and yes, most descent cams ARE illegal
not everyone runs a tfstage 1 cam on CANFIELDS

I agree with your views on nitrious to a point. I think, if your car is stock, and you throw nitrious on its dumb. Of course the car is gonna pick up some big power, but its just to cheap and easy, hence cheating. If you already have a fast n/a car, then by all means get n20, but it does have numerous downsides.

When ever someone with a n20 car wants to race (and it can be a close race), just tell em ya wanna run 3 times. If they are running a 100+ shot, they will lose a ton of pressure by that third run, and you will eat em up.

I had n20 once, and it was fun, but i always did feel like i was cheating. Plus filling up those bottles sucks.

:OT: HEy baby duck, what kinda block you running with that setup and H/C/I....Details! Details!

Also Neons arent imports. I think they prefer to be called "Sport Compacts "

so after all this discussion, I have learned that i Should get nitrous for my car because it is so legal, and it is not cheating....right?

my moto is

fast on motor, faster on spray.

a car that is all bottle gets no respect. but a car that is quick/fast on motor and then has spray to boot. now that is the cars that are known

lets face it 99% of us will never go 10s on motor, but we can sure as hell do it with some giggle gas

I personally have set a little rule, I wont spray till I trap 110 on motor

then I will "cheat" my way into the 11s and I wont care who crys cause well, I will be in the 11s and they wont

like hairy canary said.....

I know a guy who slapped a 150 shot on his firebird with just lid and cutout, went 11.9 at 122 on my roomate has cam and boltons and went 11.9 at 116 on the old stall.
I have absolutely no respect for the spray car but all the admiration in the world for my roomates car.
