The same group of guys (five years later) actually have some really quick imports. The Mach may not even be enough. I will let you know in the spring.
Here they'll get you with "Noisy Operation of Motor Vehicle". That's what you get if you squeal your tires. This I found out in my earlier years of driving.Wart said:

Anyway I fill up and am off. I cruise around for awhile and start seeing some ricers, one goes by and revs his ninja motor at me, HA HA. What is up with that? Are these clowns so clueless that they think if they take moms civic, put a cold air kit,and muffler on it they have instant race car? I was watching Maguires car crazy the other nite and that clown was praising the tuner cars. These guys just bolt on body kits ,mufflers and crap and think they are great
Most of em take it to a shop ,they cannot even do it themselves.These imports are ruining the big 3. Sure , they may be built here, polute our air ,own our soil the factory is on ,BUT the profits still go to japan!!!!! I wish I could understand the thinking. I always thought engines were measured in cubic inches -not CC's :OT: Sorry I went off, but I just had to vent. I am afraid I will get into a situation where I have to tear up some ricer on the street to show them what time it is. It is either that or scrap out the mustang, get a hybrid car, wait for someone to come out with a BIG battery and have my own stupid little wannabe car
FAT CHANCE----someone PLEEEESE explain this to me.
plus my damn mom and her mustang she wont even let me drive it but she dont know that i stole it last night but it is all just a little game i mean she drives my honda all of the freakin time cause she dont want to get hers dirty!!!
plus she hit the door of another car with mine and wont pay for it 'cause she has to get her car washed and waxed!!!! we'll thats all for now!
Well pretty much any "ricer" who is willing to take it to the track or a test and tune event generally has a pretty quick car. The dumb kids with stock civic's with wings and fart cans generally have never been to a track and think being a stoplight to stoplight warrior is a cool thing.Mustangj said:There is a time and a place. The time is test & tune durring an import event, the place is the drag strip.
When I worked at the speed shop I went to watch my customers race their imports.
They asked me what I thought? "I figured they would be quicker" I said. "If your Mustang was here it would get spanked" They said. "Hell, my Lincoln is quicker then most of your cars" I said. So I paid my thirty bucks and put my money where my mouth was. Sadly the near stock Mark VII's high 15 second quarter's beat 98% of their "race cars".
I second that--- I went up the street to get a gas bottle filled sat. nite. A primered flat black honda complete with fart can pulls out. He gets all squirrelly (steering wheel pulling bak and forth) as he tries to peel out. With a plume of smoke and revs in the ozone it POPS as he passes me going the opposite way. I thought I was going to fall out of my truck laughing at this clown. Where do they come from??Blue Thunder said:
