Re: Geo HA

and my car is not that slow for a cavalier, heck my 1989 jeep wrangler that tops out at like 55mph beats his metro so i dont know why he criticizes my cars?

I dunno if you ever looked up a stock Mustang 5.0 either. Back in the day, it couldn't get out of it's own way either. 302 cubic inches putting out ALMOST 230 hp. around a 16 second 1/4 mile. A stock Tibueron v-6 is just as fast. And has a lot better suspension for handling high speeds. Race cars don't come bone stock, unless you buy a vette or a Lotus. Budget cars such as the metro and cavy are capable of being race cars. My metro is a race car. I do road/track racing. A lot more fun than drag racing. Should try it sometime.

Actually I owned two different 5.0's "back in the day" an 89 GT that I bought new and a 92 LX I also bought new. The GT ran 15.49 stock and the the LX ran 14.92. Both were automatics. You must be looking at an 87-93 that has 150,000 miles on it and is stock. Either car would have beaten a stock Tiberon by at least four or five car lengths in the 1/4.

Corvettes are not even close to a race car of any sort stock!!

I bet it is a lot more fun to road race your Metro than it is to drag race it...considering the length of time it probably would take to drag race it!

Re: Re: Geo HA

All us Metro owners will be laughin' when gas goes over $3 a gallon...and that's possible w/in the next few weeks.

When gas hits $5 a gallon, we'll be geniuses too...since we will still be able to afford to drive it much more so than merely buying gas.
