Street races

Yeah, I can imagine my opinion would be different if I had a car that was fast, quiet and not a cop magnet.

Ive rolled by cops in boost in the bpt and no one is the wiser..

I can't do that, if I'm in boost usually my tires are squealing too :lol:

oh yeah but mine is kinda loud! raced a wrx yday & really suprised him at first. then @ about 80 he showed me that 300 h.p. i can stay with the 196h.p. si hondas as long as they are stock.

yeah racing big heavy v8's on the street is very sketchy! But a quiet bpt catches them sleeping everytime..... Ive rolled by cops in boost in the bpt and no one is the wiser.. Its just like wow that car was going fast!? well maybe, but its just a festiva must be seeing things..

Every once in a while, while I'm sitting at a stoplight, some kid in a beat up Civic, Neon, etc. will rev his engine at me. I love to rev mine back, wind it up to around 4k and then when the light turns green.....I just sit there, lol. They always take off like a bat outta hell, then let off when they see me not moving. I figure anyone who picks on a Festiva is looking for an easy kill.....and they deserve to be messed with. Especially if they're stupid enough to do it in the middle of downtown traffic.

Its even more annoying when I'm driving my Mustang....the worst is usually kids in other Mustangs and Diesel pickups. My Mustang is far from fast, but it's too fast to even consider racing in traffic or broad daylight. The loud exhaust alone will make everyone within 5 blocks turn and look. I don't understand these kids...lord knows I did my fair share of street racing, but we always went out to the middle of nowhere to play.

I put the hurt on people every day in my 89L! I'm convinced that with a little clutch slipping the 4 speed carby is faster than a 5 speed manual. It feels like first is taller. My service manual says the 89L only had like 55hp (or maybe it was 58?) IDK, I have pulled a lot of newer cars with it and I just think that is sad. I know some times I'm racing them, but they aren't racing me, but other times it's one of those deals where they are trying to edge me out for a lane or getting on the freeway and I pull them. Big lifted pickup truck drivers hate it when I do that. I pulled on a V8 titan with exhaust last week! I figure if they can't pull a 200K mile 55hp econobox then they should just give up trying all together. Right?

Re: Street races

If it helps i beat a 2012 Fiesta 1.6 5spd in my bone stock 89 L from a dig at a local meet here in Cincy. Was my first race in it too lol.

Your so lucky bro I don't see any of that around here. I guess I need to hit the highways more haha

[fastivaB6TG25MR]

and i bet they pull way better than a 1.998 60'... i cant wait til i find one of these and crush their dreams... like i did with the 911 GT/RS, or the few carrara 4s', or the m3s ,m5s, m6s, m7s ... or the lambo, or the 2 ferraris... or the cobras... or vettes... SS's... GTOs, or almost every muscle car ive ran on the streets...

Re: Street races

JT is running faster than that already...

At 5psi I highly doubt I have 300hp, maybe 250ish but I'd still try racing the guy :evil4:

Re: Street races

That's why I was calling for DK! He's got to have at least 300hp under the hood...

[TheresGabe]

X5 is a twin tubo 300hp nice ride. The X5 M is a Twin turbo 555hp, 3.9second 0-60, 12.3 stock quarter mile time monster.

It'd take a VERY dialed in Festiva to beat a stock X5M

Re: Street races

Calling Damkid, we've got a BMW X5 that needs a good thrashing!
