Hey now, don't knock the stangs. I will bet anyone here with any car that my stang will eat your *** in the quarter-9.40's on the spray 9.80's on motor. But this isn't a stang site. The new jettas are decent I had a 1.8 t jetta 3 pretty decent! Still no match for my 951 though

Alright, this guy is just messing around.. don't even acknowledge his stupidity.. he's got us bashing 924's now, lol.

He's obviously trying to get a rise out of us.. so just leave the thread alone or delete it or something.

Don't try racing Mustangs or Camaros. Keep this dialogue in your head...

M & C owner: My car is faster than yours.

P owner: Uglier as well.

M & C owner: It'll beat you to the next set of lights.

P owner: And will still look like it was designed by a slow witted child with a box of blunt crayons.

M & C owner: All the guys I know think this car rocks.

P owner: It's funny, only women seem to notice mine.



Don't bother racing these clowns, you've already won.

Yeah, no bashing 924S..well ok..maybe automatics. Seriously, it's just a 944 in sheeps clothing. The fact is these cars in stock form aren't meant for dragging, just a nice, tight-handling ride which my 924S accomplishes admirably. I will say that other cars on the road *think* they are fast and will frequently rev the engine at stoplights and try to get a race going which, knowing better, I decline to get into. Now, the Viper I will be getting next is a totally different story!

924s OK but I thought only girls drove the autos. And may I repeat for the record... THESE ARE NOT DRAG CARS (unless you are in 'drag' while driving!)!

James S,

Shaun,

Nice pic. Don't you know winking is racer language for "the turbo don't kick in until 45mph!"

Is it just me or does anybody else think that Craig moved to New Jersey???

Ah, yes...sporty car + stupid boy = natural selection. Proof, yet again that Darwin wasn't completely out to lunch.

amaf - I wish someone would drop a chlorine tablet in your gene pool. Try to avoid cursing on the board. You might also attempt forming complete sentences with correct grammar.

I hope that you are kidding! If you are at all serious about Track driving (as in PCA Driver's Education, Club Racing, and SCCA/NASA racing), you should know that track driving is not meant to equip anyone for street racing!
You may learn defensive driving while driving on the track, but NEVER should you try to race on the street, regardless of your experience on the track.

Bottom line: if you want to play, take it to the track. Street racing is illegal, kills innocent people, and is just plain STUPID.

[paid PCA DE commercial]
You want the thrill of going over 120mph? Of taking a turn at speeds you thought were unreachable? Of LEGALLY driving your car at high speeds? Of passing cars with higher horsepower? Enroll in your local PCA's next Driver's Education program, and you won't be disappointed.

ya know z-man, dont tell me you havent drivin your car on the street like that. the point of driving a sports car is to drive it fast. i never said insanse though. being resopnsible is very importent. ive never street raced somewhere that i could kill a pedestrian. and yes i am into track racing and i know that its not traing for street racing but it does help control you. maybe try lighting up. we are all fun in here. or should i sit and watch posts you make just to talk down to you for having done something. no. its my life, my car, and i can make every "stupid" decision i want to in it. dont tell me otherwise cause its my *** if i get hurt or someone else does not yours. so bugger off!
