ok i got my car running real good now, runs mid-low 12s, pretty decent for a turn key street car.
but what sucks is back when my mustang was slower, like 14s and 15s, id get ride in some stangs and cars that were faster and i was like woah this is cool. it gave me some incentive to keep modding. now i had modded to the point where my car will toast any of my friends cars, and i havent rode in anything in a while that is faster than my car. noone ever wants to race me, i'm not into street racing really but i like to play around on the back roads from time to time and get on it some and stuff like that. nobody messes with me anymore, before i would have people try to race me all the time, once i got the cam lope and stuff i havent had anyone mess with me, maybe a couple but after i showed them what i could do they backed off lol
i dont ever get the cool fast feeling, a friend of mine who has a stang and can drive pretty good has given me a ride in my own car and it feels real good. pretty fast feeling. but i dont get that feeling while i drive the car myself. and theres that only 1 friend who can drive the car good, my gf and dad can drive it but they shift too slow and it ruins the feel lol.
another bud of mine got a pretty nice talon, AWD turbo, i posted a topic about it about what they run etc.
well when i first saw it i was hoping this was pretty quick to give me something to play around with you know.
my other friends, who drive slow 15-17 sec stuff. were all going on about how the talon feels real nice and is very fast. i got a ride in it and was hoping it was fast.
well its not too hopped up. just a header and intake running 10-11 psi like stock, at least when i rode in it, it felt pretty stout for a little 4 cyl but i was thinking " is this it?" it had power dont get me wrong and i'm not trying to brag but it wasnt even close to my mustang. it would probably smoke me off the line on the street but as far as actual set you in the seat power, it didnt have near as much as the stang.
and my friends keep telling me how ungodly fast my car is and how their chest hurts and they can feel it in their gut and how much of a head rush it is, i just tell them its slow. i am used to it and the car really does feel like a turd to me. i just wonder if i will ever reach a moment where i will feel that my car is fast. i guess just have the HP bug lol
i live in a small area so my car is probably the fastest that actually runs around alot during the week. i know some people that have more powerful/faster "street" cars but they never have them out, they sit in a garage or a building and never drive around hardly. i take mine dragging main for hours and take it too the movies and cruise with the A/C on full blast all the time, to me its a true street car. being on here and knowing other people i know my car isnt much at all, it still a pup lol
if i lived in a bigger city maybe i could find some comparable cars to have fun with and get smoked by, to give me more reason to mod and make my car faster
sorry for the useless topic but maybe some of you can relate.
