Claimed Mustang

Welp...it went down like this. Dude said he heard bout me and i was like cool and then made it a point to bug the s### outta me with stupid comments and s### til i raced him. We get on 85 south and were bout 60-65 right. Well im about 2 cars behind him and im trying to get beside him so we can race. I get the front of my car to his rear bumper and i see his car jump. Im like hell no im not gonna have him take off from there and tell everyone he beat me bad. So i take off and i instantly start catching him. I got beside him and i was going about 95-100 by now and i shifted outta 3rd into 4th at about 8300rpm. I kept pulling and when i let off at 120 my rear bumper was bout half a car away from his front. That was 2 weeks ago and he is still telling everyone he beat me.

Wonder if the 7s spares would be as light as though Racing Hart cp035's? Might be a new trend!!! jk <img src="http://www.spartanburgracing.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

Ya know.  You would think people would stop racing Ben on the damn highway.  Thats his element.  he doesn't get outta 3rd gear till almost 110mph.  I'm in 5th by 100.  I know most stangs and Camaros are in 5th by about 110 or so.  You think your weakest gear is gonna stand up to one of his torque gears???  Common sense people, common sense.  Oh well, if you wanna learn the hard way I suppose.

I doubt you have a four second daily driver.

It takes me at least a year to finish a car.  Good things take time.  The 96 is enough fun for now besides i can sell it to top off the 4-second daily driver

#14 03-15-2002, 04:50 PM

4 second daily driver... I believe it  <img src="http://www.spartanburgracing.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='
