The Never Ending Race Thread

my explaination was better, so was my yugo

[satchmode]

I had an interesting night last night. I saw a focus almost identical to mine. i never really got him to actually race though, i would just fly by and try to provoke him... try to get him to pull up to a light beside me, but he would then just fly by me again, so i chased him, but he ditched me, catching a right hand turn. i wanted to know what his car could do, it looked like an 03 or 04, and it would be an interesting match between the Zetec and Duratec engines.

I then got challenged by an older, medium size dodge truck with a V8 in it. you know, one of those beater trucks with a smaller muscle car engine in it. we burned tires next to each other for a good hundred feet and came out even after a few stoplights, with him shutting down earlier, so it was hard to tell who won. didn't really matter, it was a good race.

Well obviously...any explanation with a Yugo can't be wrong (it sounds sarcastic, but it really isn't (so did that) )

[SpeedDemon101]

what can i say? any thing with a yugo on a race forum has to be sarcastic

I'm back, and the Civic is mine now.

Took on some bitch in a Celica ST on Saturday. She acts as if her car is so fast and powerful when the only "modification" it has is a set of shitty Wal-Mart pie tins on the wheels. Needless to say, I smoked her ass on the downhill.

God I love German engineering...

i was reading euro tuner today and there was a gti with like 360hp and it ran a 13.? 1/4mi @ 16?mph

WTF happened there?

[CivRacer95]

Traction issues? L8...

[SpeedDemon101]

that was my guess, he ran a shitty 0-60 too, i forgot what it was.
more than likely couldnt get one bit of a launch

I beat an escalade today in my mom's sienna lol, he was so suprised he thought he'd do a fly by in the oncoming lane!

[Aerowitz]

They thought that their Escalade was actually fast? Who was driving it?

[nissanfanatic]

What was the trap speed on that gti?

[Thourun]

The only thing thats fun about the sienna is that the front jumps about 5 inches when you take off lol.

Raced my buddies 97 4 speed auto gt mustang. We were on the freway and stopped next to each other on a two lane part of the road where it was didvided from the other side. I start by launching first since no of us were making any gestures to signal an official start. It was for fun anyways.

I get an instant car length because of my early jump. My car is just spinning so I let back off a bit around 5k to regain some traction then I get back up to about 6800 and I shift, once again sending my tired tires into a short spin. He got a late start but when he finally took off he stood even with my headstart at a car car and a half back. After 2nd though his mustang didn't pull anymore. I took it all the way up to 90mph, and I swear I gained atleast half a car on him.

After we got to his house he makes the usual excuse that his car didn't hook up at all (His mustang has bfgoodwrich traction t/a's and I know it wont roast the tires THAT bad) Even though he says he didn't hook up (like my front wheel drive se-r with bald tires really did ) He wouldn't get into conversation of how he couldn't pass me after 30mph. I think his mustang could get me off the line, but I'm possitive I could could pull on him, and eventually pass him in a race to 100mph. We'll evetually get a real race, and then I'll post it.

If your confused about the launch I took off first then he took off.
