ok, i am probably the slowest peson in this thread. y'all are talking about drive train loss. i have a transmission transfer case combo that is almost 200lbs, and 2 piece drive shaft that is about 8 feet long and a 10.5"rear. that is some drive train loss. i will still give it up to anything that is fast. i dotn give a damn if somebody is a on a snapper riding lawn mower. if it goes it goes. whats so funny is that a lot of the ppl that get on threads like this are so fast until it is time to run and then they say things like. i dotn race on these tires and my fuel system needs work. or i like the guys that flat out refuse to admit they lost. i loose all the time. but i am not scared. oh and there is no such thing as too much power. at all.

I remember some kid at the street races back in like '00.. In a BRAND NEW Mustang, went to do a burnout in the WalMart parking lot with the TC on, and came 2-3 feet from putting his car in a drainage pond.

I was in tears.

are your mommy and daddy rich? did they buy your porsche for you? i would bet money on it... only a spoiled brat would spew such insults (esp. for absolutely no reason) because they never started from humble beginnings.

as for most of the rest of us on this thing we call planet earth who don't live with our heads up our asses, we started from scratch at a young age with a shitty econobox and learnt things along the way... we didn't rely on an engineer to hand us a finished product.

take your overpriced VW on steroids and drive it off a fucking cliff


hey queerbate, go suck a streetdick for a hatch or something
