It's hard looking so fast, Cars pull up to race thinking your fast Options

[97sccelica]

i dont really get the whole your car is slow thing. i have a feeling that at a quick glance people think its a supra, and if they see what it really is, then they think its almost as fast as a supra.

i have only been revved by a 2002 v6 ranger, an excursion, and like this 1988 ranger with a cobra 5.0 in it(needsless to say, after he burned all through 1st and half through 2nd i lost) most other times things are started by my friends in the passenger seat.

a lot of people look at my speedo and say my car is fast. Oh look, it can go past 140!! lol. a few people have asked me how fast it is and i just say a fast car is a ferrari, or a viper. my car is better than a honda.

i got a friend that has a gsr and he always says my car is slow but likes the fact that i didnt go with an ls integra or any model civic. he likes the look of my car too, but just too slow for him.

but then there are the people with the v8's and think every other engine sucks. well, im proud to say that my car is faster than a 65 mustang with a 289. around here the mustang is known as the Valencia ferrari, loads of people have them and they all think they are fast. beat one of them and everyone stays away from you. granted a majority of them are v6 powered and very few of the v8's are done up right. i think its the fact that they feel safe hiding behind their engine size.

i really need to install my turbo. then i will have a car that looks fast and is relatively fast. then i have to get rid of my hub caps, they really drag the car down(looks wise).

I 've beaten an OZ rally Lancer, which was slightly modified.

My 97 ST is slightly modded but no biggie. Exhaust/CAI (nothing major), but with my clear side markers/turn signals and 18's I get alot of faster cars showing off around me. For example, I'm at a stop light and an everyday car or truck pulls up at the light going the opposite way. When the light turns green, the car just burns out and takes off down the road as fast as he can. That happens to me all the time. I take that as a compliment. I think those people are seeing my car and then they say to themselves,"I have a fast car too." and they want to show off for me.

Whats the deal with everyone, why is it that so many people make their car look nice first then work on the performance. Whatever makes you happy I guess but with the money some of you guys spend on body kits, JDM lights, sterios etc...you could do an engine swap or turbo. This is me but I'd rather drive a car with peeling paint that could run 12s and be glued to the road than something that looks like a million bucks but gets beaten by mini vans. I wouldnt leave it that way for long but while you guys are waiting to buy the 'go' ill be waiting to buy the 'show', don't get me wrong all you guys with the kits and rims have awsome looking cars, I still cant get over how great Celicas look with that stuff. I think they look better than Supras but Im partial to the round lights from growing up with MGs. Anyone with me? After driving my friends 280hp BMW M3 I've gotten worse, that $hit hauled ass but it wouldnt be enough for long. A Road and Track writer who took a spin in a Toyota Atlantic car said racing is like heroin without the needle...so true so true, its actually better than heroin IMO.
