Re: Cars that people on Drag VA like, but you can't stand.
I've seen as low as 115ft for the SRT4, and as high as 120ft. All I know is it stops 120498012321 times better than any other car i've ever driven.

Sure, it'd be cool to be able to make your and your passangers have a little bit of pee come out whenever you top out 4th gear, but truthfully how often are you gonna do that? Maybe once a month. And since I don't daily drive mine, perhaps even less than that. While the tires, wheels, suspension, brakes and asthetics pieces I have on my car right now, I use every time I take it out. Last weekend I got a ride in a 370rwhp M Coupe which was fast as hell but he had stock brakes and suspension. I don't know if you have ever tried to hit the brakes at 110 and then relize that you aren't slowing down much at all and the beige Camary is coming closer and closer to you, but it's a pretty scarey situation. That ride reaffirmed the decision I made to make my car whole before I go for retarded power. And I just shake my head when I see all of the turboed civics rolling around here with stock brakes that were designed to stop at 115 hp car from 75 mph at most.
But what I was orginally trying to get at was that every person has their different priorities out of their car. Yours may be speed and others may be looks. It's all still the car hobby though; and as long as it has quality work done to it, I'll give it the respect it deserves.

-I top out 4th, and maybe even 5th gear, every single time I take my car out.
-mcoupes have shitty stock brakes?
-it doesn't matter how much hp you have when you're stopping, you're not using any of it. but I do agree that the more agressive you drive your car and the higher speeds you drive your car, you had better have some good brakes/suspension/etc...

Re: Cars that people on Drag VA like, but you can't stand.
i think this thread would have been much better if was directed more towards individual cars that everyone hops on the balls of for whatever reason that you dont like.
for example..
everyone always seems to like blah's m-coupe especially after ritz took those great pics of it. well unfortunatly no amount of good picture taking is gonna stop that car from looking like a silver set of cock 'n' balls rolling down the street. seriously it s the euro version of ace and gary's super dick mobile.
end example
sorry dude

very well put. but i was talking more along the lines of stupid useless shit, and they drive around like mister bad ass. a few things here and there on a stock motor is alright if your car is naturally fast, to an extent.
example: civic hatch w/ d16a1 short ram intake (ghetto rigged because he got it from his boys old car which was a different model), cut springs, big ass spoiler on the back, after market front bumber and fenders(not painted), set covers, steering wheel covers, shift knob, neon lights, and floor mats all bought at advanced auto. and a LOUD ASS fart can that soudns like a bunch of angry bees.
or civic with a bone stock d16a1, not lowered, no exhaust, but 19" chrome rims, actually painted bodykit(but it's a foot from the ground with 6" wheel gap) and a big ass honda emblem on the back window.
sorry but i just see this shit waaaayyyyyyyy to often.
