Vette and? No, I agree, esp. the new VR1 is absolutely kick ass! But....that's it...oh and the GT40, you sure see a ton of those on this forum. But if you want a Domestic to handle, you can spend tons of money and make anything fast around turns. For the same amount of money into many many many imports, domestics fall short again.

Re: (local) Import vs Domestic race
at least you're at terms with the fact that a honda is WAY more likely to break or blow up than anything else 
The funniest part of all this is that of all the shitstorms I've gotten into with the honda guys about how they always talk about being so fast on the street, when in reality they are backing down to stock turbo mitsubishis with their supposed "really fast and beats everything yo" cars, the fall back is always lets go to the track, and now Mike has made the offer and the excuses STILL fly.

Re: (local) Import vs Domestic race
My head is starting to hurt from all this... I love all you guys... I have a Buick AND a Toyota... 
Import guys: What rules do you want applied to your cars?
What rules do you want applied to the domestics?
Domestics: What rules do you want applied to your cars?
What rules do you want applied to the imports?
let's compile a solid list and hash it out that way... All this circle jerk bickering is taking us further away from actually having a good time...
1) Imports can run slicks.
2) Domestics can run slicks (though, with as many cars running 8's on ET Radials, I don't think we need slicks)
3) Any DOT certified fuel is authorized. (E85 and Sunoco 100 octane included)
4) Meth / Alcohol injection is authorized.
There... that's what I would be okay with..... Next?

Re: (local) Import vs Domestic race
DR's for all
no more than 93 octane pump gas for all
Meth injection allowed for all
Race the same way you drive on the cruise to the track.
Plus allow an ET bonus for the group with the higher MPH like I stated in my post 172. To give some credit to the roll racers.

Re: (local) Import vs Domestic race
u always are posting shit about hondas and how they suck, bring what even mitsubishis u got and i bet my shit dont break or blow up, give it a rest or line it up, im really tired of reading all the bullshit comments u have to say.... im not making any kind of excusse so my car doesnt fit in the rules fine put slicks on whatever car u got and race me one time after the event
I was commenting on the man's excuse. "we can't race because we'll blow up and can't afford to rebuild" was his excuse. I was making a point of how stupid that makes you guys look.
The point all of us are trying to make here is, the honda guys always want to talk shit about how they can keep up and all, but in the end they always want to bring a tin can race car trailer queen to race everyone else's street cars. I have a AWD boat with full interior, heat, stereo, DOT legal fuel, DOT legal tires, and a little old 61mm turbo, OEM axles, OEM trans, OEM gas tank. You have a prepped race chassis, full slick, and what, 20% more turbo? And probably weigh 1000 lbs less. I certainly hope you aren't trying to talk shit if that's what it takes to beat me. You do have a respectable car and are not one of the ones I'm really trying to make fun of here. The guys I'm talking about are the shit talkers that never back it up. I wish I got paid for the number of no show races I've brought a car to where the other guy (99% of the time a honda) excused his way out of the race they shit talked their way into. I'm not going to turn my car into a race car to prove a point. I'm not afraid of any honda that is equally equipped to me. And I'm not afraid of any street honda on asphault, period.
