Re: Why do the majority of you prefer a slower car for your money?
Wow. I have no life, I just read all 23 pages of this.
I thought they ran hi 13's... I gotta go correct my neighbor, and I'm glad I never ran him.
I ran 12's. 
.. You saw me beat that blue L right? 
Would you be up for a run against a Civic with your kinda HP? (I'll PM you in a min)
Back on topic now. I can't afford a Mustang's insurance and gas, so I own a Civic.

Cobra4B brings up a valid question, the best I can explain it is who influences you decides what kind of car lifestyle you get into. I used to be a ricer, with a 4cyl Eclipse with all the stupid 'go fast' mods that didnt do shit. Then I became 'one of those V8 guys'.
Looking back now both are kind of childish, but the ricer lifestyle is so pathetic and wrong, and I'm glad I got out of it. Thinking your V8 is faster than everything is just a temporary mindset and much easier to relieve.
