In My Opinion

id love to see your gocart go less than 12 seconds in the 1/4 incase you havnt looked into it, we have quite a bit of fast cars....
and yeah, alot of us started at checkers, but immature people that are not affiliated with our group go by and do burnouts and donuts and we get the bad rep for it.

You know,, back in the day,, mid to late 60s, if the car wouldnt do 12s in the quarter, it was meant for your grandma to drive it.

back then they used horse power to move the car,, now they use high RPM.

big big difference.

I'm talking about vipers camaros and firebirds , and the occasional mustang.
its still all about horsepower, but what cars came stock that could run those times????? friend of mine has a bone stock firebird running 13.20 in the quarter, what car in the 60's could do that?? just currious not trying to bash.

Back in the mid to late 60's cars didn't have many regulations either.

not all of us are into racing. i can personally give a rats ass who crosses the quarter mile mark first. dont get me wrong. i love watching. but i don't race my self. i have enough torque and power in my truck, to get from point a to point b, and if i need it to get up and go, it does so. i'm strictly show.

and charger383, steve, whatever u wanna go by, this is burke with the s10 p/u.

but yes, some started at checkers, that got out of hand, we went to walmart, then target. people like to show off, mostly the newly drivers, just turned 16, in moms and pops nice car, come through. spin tires. and cops give us the #### thinking we're the ones doing it, leaving us no where to have a good time, hang out with friends, meet new people, bs about cars all night, and cause no trouble.

Regardless of people burning out or not, I'm sure it would only have been a matter of time before the piggies decided to ruin good things.. its almost certain.. regardless of peoples actions. Sucks, but.. hey.. everything does at some point.

I am not saying that I cannot be beaten.. cause I have already.. I still have work to do.. but mark these exact words.. when I'm done with the tC.. I will assure you that I will have one of, if not the fastest imports round here.. I know there is a buttload of domestics around here that love to mess with me, and i'll allow it only because I cannot do anything bout it... :whistle: yet! Give it some time... you'll see :)

Here's the thing though...its an IMPORT....there fore, no one who is ANYONE will care if it runs 6's or 20's down the track..you will have put 50 grand in it, and my F150 will STILL be worth more, and Ive only dropped 6-7 grand in it...

So whats the point of putting all that money in a car, if at the end of the day, the speed limit is still 55, and the only people who will like your car running 6's will probably still be living at home, or RENTING somewhere...

Just dont seem worth it

You just brought back memories of cruising in that parking lot on weekend nights. What a stupid ritual that was.

I remember when I was in High school 20+ years ago. Everyone would cruise around and around and around Shoppers World Shopping center. It was stupid. :dork:

Its a good point.. but its all in the personal opinion of the person writing the check or swiping the plastic.. I personally enjoy having a nice vehicle.. especially one that is so cheap to start with, doesn't have that strong of a platform, and build it into something of amazement. Kinda like these Longenberger baskets everyone seems to collect.. I dont think they are worth the price tag on them, but they are bought and collected because its a hobby :) As is mine..

Mark my words...I've dropped a whopping $2.99 airfreshener in my vehicle and it's just as slow as all the other imports around here, so there! :razz:
