my firist loss

[BeEfCaKe]

Geee, I know there's been alot of BS threads popping up recently, but that doesn't mean you need to wave that BS flag for everything. He said he lost, I don't see any benefit for him in BSing about the fact he "only" lost by 1/2 car, cause losing is losing! None of you were there when the race happened, so just cause you've seen SRT4's pulling 13.5s before, that don't mean this particular driver can do that same! So why don't yall just stop biting his ass and get on with life!

[jeffs_GTP_sleeper]

I agree. The guy I saw running at the track wasn't stock.

i personally dont think neons are very attractive cars, even the srt4's. they are just to small, remind me of a geo. I know my car isnt much bigger, but it feels big when ur driving it.

[Cbass]

Oh for gods sake people, it's an SRT-4, it's not a Viper. Now I don't mean to bash the car, but the fact is it's a mid 13 second car with a professional driver. If someone gets a bad launch, short shifts or bounces off the rev limiter a bit, we could be talking high 14s or low 15s. He had several people in the car as well.

If you guys start waving the bullshit flag at every race that gets posted here that doesn't go exactly like you predict it will, especially involving SRT-4s then people are going to stop posting stories.

Lighten up guys, try to have a good time, and don't automatically go calling someone out because their race didn't turn out exactly like you hoped.

[carrrnuttt]

LOL

You guys don't get it.

Granted, a horrible driver is capable of running a 15 in an SRT. Believe me, it's happened before.

Thing is, it takes a moderate to excellent driver to pull such a time in a 3000GT SL.

I guess you can assume that a combination of the above is the case. But my assessment is tempered by something else - the original poster's history.

He has assumed that he'd be faster than a Mustang GT, even though he has no proof, no experience relating to such, basing the assumption on pure speculation of numbers. This shows inexperience...in many things.

Strike one.

He mentioned "other races" in which he won. Although it might be possible that they were insignificant, thus not really worth the post, I find that unlikely, based on the poster. He is capable of "wasting" time, posting about a theoretical race, but yet, cannot post a real race - one in which he won.

Strike two.

He cannot even mention the distance, or how far in gears he got in the race. Too ashamed maybe? Did the race only last till 50 mph? I know when I race anybody, especially in a car that I expected to beat me, I would be proud to mention that "I hung with him till X gear" or something to that effect. Check my race posts, if you wish.

I guess I'll reserve strike three until he clarifies the race, such as my last paragraph would require. He's not quite out yet...I've never claimed to be a perfect pitcher. He's going to have to very quick with the bat on his next shot though.

hey carrnut, i once was on the freeway and a rsx-s pulled up next to me. he pucnhed it and i thought lets see if i can beat him without downshifting, so i tried and i lost by about 2 car lengths(meaning this guy thinks he's faster than me). he could have raced this guy and the srt-4 didn't recognize it was a race yet when he did he hit it and pulled on him by half a car and still going. also could have been toying with him as i have lots of civics and crx and tegs and others.

as far as his knowledge of cars, i once thought that a base mustang was a lot faster than a eclipse gsx. not everyone is very knowledgable about cars and there speed, he's probably just learning. everyone starts somewhere and 17 is about when i started really learning about cars myself. just because you like cars and like racing doesnt mean you gotta know everything about them, yet

yeah, now leave em alone

[3kgt8]

hey carrnutt chill dude, come on you always have to be talking smack to any 3000gt owner. were you there when it happen? i dont think so. be quiet and let the guy tell us about his loss. if it happen or didnt happen who cares this is suppose to be all about fun. stop picking on the guy and go drive your little sentra.

That little Sentra will put to shame alot of cars that way out of its price range. Slamming him cause he has a Sentra is lame... especially since his little SE-R has spanked many a car even with it's slipping clutch.

[Mediocrity]

lol people who come on and whine about being slammed for their car... and then slam someone for what they drive. I love the st33t r4c3r attitude some kids have... amusing.

[209 neon]

whats up with people and posting threads about racing turbo compacts srts, stis, evos, these days it seems like the thing to do, lets all jump on the band wagon, lol j/k. No but I wouldnt doubt an se-r simply due to the fact that my friend has one and he races it at the track and when he pulls up nobody wants to run him because they think its a not worth running, but little do they no its a sleeper. Little red two door no dropped a cam, intake and a pair of street slikes running low 14s pretty quick in my book

[srt4girl2]

that srt must have been stock....unless you have alot of work done to your car...my srt has about 300 hp and im in the mid to high 12s...but thats just me

[3KSL95]

OK let me clear some stuff up, first of all my SL is NOT stock and the srt-4 was, we raced from a stop we lined up honked 3 times and launched on the third we raced all the way up to 3rd when we finally shut down. just before we shut down he started to pull. i also mentionedd the fact that he had a bad start, i beat him off the line, but then he started pulling on me. Jees you guys have taken flaming to a new level, by the way thank you to all that stood up for me i apreciate it greatly and, here are the stock specs for an srt-4 215hp 0-60 in 5.3 1/4 in 14.2 the site i got these from is fast-autos.net. your welcome to look it up, geez

by the way for anyone who was wondering i have a pretty decent knowledge of most cars and their abilities and carrrnut you need to go back and retake psychology because your personality evaluation was way off,...... ass

Not if it is the 2004 SRT-4. They come with a 230 horsepower engine, and a LSD. They are about 2-3 tenths of a sec. faster. I can see keeping up with him until he hit 3rd, provided he had a piss poor launch. I believe that wasn't a full 1/4 mile race though. I'm almost 100 percent positive that SRT-4's go through 4 gears in the 1/4 mile.

So defensiiiive. Relax it's only the internet bud. And all that's extremely debatable... we only have your word to take and you're just some kid on the internet with a 3kgt.

[NSX-R-SSJ20K]

what the fuck does anyone care anyways. He said he lost. Does it really matter if he said it wasn't alot.

Christ no wonder there's hardly any racing stories everyone calls fucking BS all the time.

Besides if he was a proper BS'er he would've said he drove a VR4 with quad turbo's or something.
