And think about it... you're talking about ricers... sorry, I just don't trust anybody who thinks just a fartpipe will add 30hp to the wheels.

I love those people. there was guy i went to school with who had a ranger that he said had $3000 dollars done in mods. had a conversation with his dad at the store where i worked and he told me he spent 3 grand on ball joints,tie rods, CV's, misc. engine parts for repair purposes. Called the guy out and he shut up.
You also gotta love the people who claim to have spent hundreds of dollars more for parts just because they think it is expensive, it works better. Like in the off-road truck scene, where you have some yuppy with an 05 F-150 with alot of bling big expensive wheels and tires and a thousand dollar lift. just because of the money he thinks it is better and gets it stuck in 5 mins down a trail. Who pulls him out? some guy with an old chev pickup worth about 1500 dollars total. goes to show money doesn't always mean quality.

I know what you are getting at, However getting a truck stuck does not neccesarily mean the money or quality was at fault. In those instances the driver can be worth his weight in gold. An exspensive rig with a ****ty driver isn't going to go anywhere a junker with a great driver couldn't. The same applies to cars and their drivers, the driver can make up for a lot of mechanical mismatches if he has the skills to do so.

But the point was: money isn't everything. i know i may have gone a little OT, but having 12G's ofmisappropriated money under the hood doesn't mean you're gonna have the fastest, bestcar in town.Same as 12G's doesn't mean your gonna have the best truck in the world either. along with the driver and the building, you can get better results with being creative instead of just throwing money at it.
