Now why is it they are all talking sh*t about how they can almost beat me after they're mods, which they can't, but apparantly they think a 14.4 to a 13.9 quarter is almost beating me. Honestly your comparing oranges to apples, if i spent the same amount on my car that they did on theirs they woudn't even come close. SO for those of you that like to compare your modded cars to stock sports cars stop it because there is no comparison.
I dont think they paid 12 - 17 for there car and can only run 14. Second, i think your just fuckin mad cuz they own your peice of shit vette and paid less than you. phuck ur vette!

What. stated ---
American car makers aren't lazy, they're smart. WHY NOT make BIG ASS engines so that they can be easier to mod and more efficient. That is SMART.

--what the hell are u talking about, you moron...

'Subaru WRX STi'
$31,000
300 hp
0-60: 4.8 secs

'Ford SVT Cobra'
$34,000
390 hp
0-60: 4.4 secs

--Your a fucking idiot if you think that the mustang is better than that STI in anyway. Everyone knows stang's are old school, and handle like turds.

--You domestic people need to understand that ur vette's and vipers suck ass. Who the phuck mods a viper? WHO?! How many modded vipers do you see at the track (you prolly never been to one). How many imports do you fuckin see (supra,rx-7,DSM's,honda's), running 9's and lower. There are guys in minivans beating camaro's and ur fuckin stangs. I have never seen in my entire 3 years of going to the tracks a camaro or stang run better than 12's, no one wants them. Let alone have i seen any modded vette's or vipers coming in.

The point i'm making is that more often than not people are comparing there cars to a vette, don't know why but thats the way it is. Now even if they are faster, there comparing a modded car to a stock car. They seem to forget that i could have bought a 4k car and did 12 of mods and been whuppin some serious ass, but they are the ones still insisting i can almost beat a vette and there is no point. Who gives a shit, is what i'm trying to say.

Hey, cut to the chase. You obviously feel threatened by the imports you've been racing, and you just can't handle the fact that a small import almost beat you're vette. If it bothers you to the point where you have to go on the internet and find a forum to rattle, by all means, sell your car and get some counseling. Bite your lip and face the fact that you won't win every race you run. Nobody does. You just can't face the fact that it is a 4cyl that is going to be the car to do it. ===============

Re: eclipse vs. vette please explain

i think i speak for all dsm owner when i say this. I dont think it has to do with how much money or how much trash they talk, it is a feeling of accomplishment. To be able to turn a motor with have the size of a vette into a vette eating machine is one of the greatest feelings you could ever have. Even if it is a stock vette it still feels good because we all know vettes are fast, but this dsm is faster.

I agree. I still remember the vipers (low-mid12s), turbo porche (11.9), Zo6, etc that I have beat. The best part is when they come up in the lanes to see what you have done, and its ont much. Then they say the car is so light. Ah, its 3400 pounds. Etc. In the case of the last Viper I beat, it was one hour into the night, and he went home after I beat him Its a lot of fun to surprise people. I dont win every race against the big motor/high dollar cars, but that doesnt make me want to switch. Its the times that I win that make it worth it Its a challenge, and a learning experience, and thats what I'm here for.

Re: eclipse vs. vette please explain

'Ford SVT Cobra'
$34,000
390 hp
0-60: 4.4 secs

BULLSHIT!!!!!!!!

Try 4.7 0 to 60....

And you want efficiency then try this on:

Supra 320 hp 0 to 60 in 4.9

Stang piece of shit SVT 390hp 0 to 60 in 4.7

Big diffierence in power, small difference in performance

Like I said, lazy

But ford has one thing going for them IMO....

At least they've circled the problem....

Supra cost $40,000......SVT Cobra Cost $6,000 less......
THE SVT COBRA IS FASTER AND IT COST LESS.

Give me $6,000 extra to mod the Cobra and it would smoke the Supra REALLY BAD.


Also, smokeurass stated that no one mods Vipers...HELLO!!!! You ever heard of Hennessey?!? Lingenfelter?!?

Most people don't personally do the mods themselves because the Viper is a valuable car and most people won't risk it. I don't think that there are many people that would pay $80,000+ for a car and mod it themselves.


ALSO......

The $150,000 Ford GT will burn ANY STOCK PRODUCTION CAR FROM OVERSEAS except the Enzo.

That's what you car AMERICAN PERFORMANCE!!!
