another honda civic bites the dust
 

i got my learners a month ago, and a week ago i bought my 1998 red v-6 camaro, bone stock. anyways i was just crusing down 17 when i hear the fart cannon of a ricer behind me. we both get to the stoplight. he starts reving his small engine at me, i was like hell no. when the light turned green we both took off Note: i didnt floor it, i didnt even pop the clutch. i was beating him by 2 or 3 car lenghts by the time i was doing arround 40 and i just got into 3rd gear. i let off (cuz i cant afford a ticked at 15 and a half) and i call it a spanking, i look over at my dad in the passenger seat just smiling and he goes " so u think that was your first race?" i just laughed at my first win ever.

yea, these s passed me in my car when i was driving with my dad before i had my liscense. they were punk kids in mommy's minivan and they were laughing and **** cause they passed me on a 25mph side street. i wish i saw them earlier in the mirror cause i would stayed side by side with them but when i saw them they were coming fast and just about next to me. my dad was like **** i wish i was driving.lol. i dont get crappy cars wanting to race i always get cars that will beat me for sure like turbo DSM's and EVO's and stuff. i get a lot of people giving me shitty looks to and on days when im pissed off i just stare at them like "FU(K YOU!" i hate people who are asses for no reason. BTW you shoulda revved it to 3k abd smoked the tire(s):)

haha, i would but i think my dad would get mad at that, im just watin as soon as i get my license im gonna be smoking tires and racin rice burners all the time

haha have fun with that! with that attitude ull learn to take it to the track:)

how i hate these posts...yet i still have to read them for some reason :banghead:

becareful with that in FL if you get a ticket while you have you learners you have to start all over becasue you have to have you learners a year before you get your real licence even if you are 16 before a year. but NICE KILL

wow they are lenient, MI you can't get it until you turn 18

Not true. You have to have a learners permit for one year if you are under the age of 18. Once you turn 18 you're able to get a license with no provisions. If you get a ticket while you have a learners permit, then oh well, you got a ticket - You don't have to start again.

Its six months here with the leaners permit (you can get it the day your turn 16) then after you pass the test you got the cinderella liscense until your 18 then (cant drive after 11pm or before 6am somethin like that)

6 months here but ure on probationary till ure 18

over here if you get caught if you have your DL or not your going to jail :) . Just get a good Radar Detector.

yeah which probation is like u cant drive past a certain time or somethin. Atleast thats how it is in texas.

radar detector won't keep you from getting caught if the cop has half a brain

You dont got much bigger engin then they do becarefull what rice burners you try and take on dont get cocky let us with the v8s that pack alittle more puch take them on for now but good race im hitting 75 going into 3rd in my 97 stock

And don't you go thinking that a stock Z is worth a **** either.

not all V8s are fast I beat a pre 99 gt stang in my V6. :)

line up with a mid 70's v8 anything in a 4 cylinder and you should win (the big gm ones just touched 200 hp)

wow, could you sound a little more cocky and full of yourself? I doubt it.

SRT4s are no joke. they will probably keep up with you if not beat you.

and the engine is only a 2.4L, half the size of yours.

i know a srt4 can beat a stock 97 i got a friend that has one and i know what they run they are also turboed. Wasnt trying to sound full of my self just warning him not to get to cocky. I have gotten my *** kicked by rice burners too. But its all good cause i realy dont care what you all got to say about me so take your shots. Im an asswhole its all good

Sorry kid if i offended you not intended

There not all Ricer Burners.......There are a GOOD amount of decent/fast imports out there and then there are the ricers. Someone here with a 456rwhp Z06 is always racing a stage 3 Srt-4 and there always off and on winning and loosing....The Z06 cant take it from a 60 and he even admits it. It sounds like you have ALOT to learn about cars and racing.

there are tuners those are the guys making their 4 cylinder cars truely quick (10's in a street car is quick I don't care what engine you have) then there are the ricers , those are the guys who add the picnic table wings and claim their car can beat an f18, or only want to race from a roll

thats true i know alot of fast imports and srt4 are still american but any way the size of the engine doesnt matter if it goed in the 12s id say its fast and the imports that do that with a 4 cylinder are good by me but i still plane on getting my car to go faster then them if i can.

The Z06 will more than likely spank his *** in a road circuit.

Theres more to racing than just racing in a straight line :)

depends on preference John Force has made a **** good living not turning corners

yes, thats why the srt-4 wont race him at one hehe.

lol

and some of the most powerful cars built would also lose. Heck I could beat a 600 hp chevelle on a road course in a stock civic power means nothing if you can't use it

most of us build are car for the straight line not the course its the adrinalin of being able to do that 1/4 mile as fast as we can but we dont care about the turns i leave that to some one that gets there adrinalin of taking those turns at 90

i disagree anyone that truly builds up their engine will build up their suspension if they know anything about cars. you have to get all that power to the ground somehow.

I agree with that too but im not worried about weather or not i can take turns fast when i finish building my car i still want to be able to drive it on the street but i am not at all worried about being able to take turns on a track. I want my suspension to help with my launch not my turning

a suspension for turns is much diffrent than for straight line, turns you want to plant teh front straight you want the front a bit higher

Drag set ups and Road course set ups are way diffrent.... but both are about weight transfer..... and alot of cars can do both nowadays...

they can do both, but do neither one well

I'd rather take turns better, than go straight better. I see no thrill going in a straight line fast. It's the curves that make it interesting and fun.

haha, but you can do it pretty good both ways ask heatseakr... its all in what you wanna doo...Id rather do decent at both

in my opinon if you get a camaro or any other rear wheel vehical you would want more of a straight line all wheel drive and front wheel turn better
