hell, in the si on a 50 shot we schooled some older ones, like c4s. the z06s are cool, and the new c6s are good, but the older ones aint all that great. not BAD, just not as be all, end all as everyone seems to think.

My favorite cars (and drivers) to drop were always SRT-4's. I remember this one guy from high school named Mitch. He had a bright flaming yellow one, and he thought he could walk anything (he tried to drag my friend Alec's 11.2 sleeper WRX, then blamed his 6-car-length loss on old oil and an air filter...).
Well, I was coming back from the wholesaler at the pier with a few Legacy parts and my brother, and I ran into him alone across the the light for the I-5 on ramp. He flashed me like a pompous prick, and followed me onto the freeway. Now, this guy knew what my car was, and I had told him what I had done to it (which was just the swap, upped boost, and suspension) and he still thought he would be all over me. My brother and I were just smirking at him when he pulled up on me on the freeway (RHD, so I was right next to him). He starts dry-revving and dumping the clutch at 65 trying to burn out, but he's just bucking all over the place; then he starts kind of lunging in at me, which is probably the stupidest thing I can think of. I change lanes to the left to get away from him, so he moves over, rolls down his window, and starts taunting me. "What, are you afraid your stupid ricebox is gonna get schooled?" and crap like that. So I look around for fuzz, and I'm like, "fine if it'll make you happy," and my brother just starts laughing like crazy (even his car could hand Mitch his ass, and he's 15 doing his own work).
Anyway, we roll on at 60, I'm parked in 2nd, he honks, then tries to downshift and take off, but completely misses 3rd and pounds his gears. I jumped to take off, but when I heard that, I backed it off and just waited. Then I hear him finally catch 3rd, honk again, and punch it. His car leans back like crazy, he jumps maybe 5 feet in front, and I heard that little 15G whistling like a possessed teapot. I ease on the boost so as to keep the rear wheels planted (1.2 BAR can make them a little jumpy...), and just walked him steadily to 110, then shut it down. He rolls back up, and my brother is just laughing his ass off and pointing at him. Well, he wanted to go again, and then again from 50, and guess what? Same result, except I had even more space on him at the end. He got off the freeway at the next exit, and that's the last I saw of him before I sold my car...
I hate SRT drivers; they think they're all in on some big secret that no one else knows about, but they're still just driving Dodges...

well, i have seen some Healthy SRT4s...i lost to a guy with a debadged, baseline bodied sRT4 last year..he ran an 11.90...but i find that in most cases...SRT drivers go on and on about "ricers"..meanwhile..they have stage 2, a CF hood..body kit, a massive aftermarket wing, and 18"..yet with the stage two that puts it to like 250hp on 108 octane, they still only run 13.5s...
a great many of them seem to do the same things that these "ricers" that they talk about do..yet since their car is "american" they are exempt from ricer status? i dont think so.

evo kids are like that too. pulled my first real race the other day. i was sitting at a stoplight at about 11 at night with my dad. now my dads usually a safety freak and everything, but when something makes him mad, and i mean MAD, he drops everything to fix it. so we're at this stoplight, and a kid in an Evo (VII i believe) pulls up next to me and starts laughing at my civ (bone stock). pulls that stupid ass line from 2F2F out of his ass 'whered u get that car? bottom of a cereal box?' I just look away, my dad doesnt even look at him in the first place. he starts revving his engine at like 8000, his friends are laughing, and they hold this for a long time. my dad eventually flips, gives 'em the finger, looks at me and is like 'dont lose'.
the kid had a horrible launch and swerved a ton, he couldnt control his car at all, i had two car lengths on him by the time it was over (it was about half mile?)
yeah theyre all talk and no show and they could prolly fit their 150 mm muff tips in their mouths. kid later said i was cutting him off, he just plain couldnt control his car, i dont get how you could suck that bad at driving to lose to a stock civ when ur in an Evo.

Actually, I've noticed that a lot of Evo owners know and respect their roots (as it were). My brother's current car can walk Evos like dogs, and it's a ****ty looking 1G DSM sleeper. Of course there's always a few rich kids now and then that just want to talk crap and think it's all about looks and "shiny", but for the most part, they recognize where the Evo's heart and soul come from. As for those precious few cocky motherf***ers, there's enough satisfaction in just knowing that they're going to wreck within a week.
