We didn't mind the neon stuff either. It was a very fast neon.

Although, there is a modded Older style evo that could prob take me 60ft.

But yea.. Still just a neon lol
I love that one liner

There is no probably about the Evo 60ft. My old Evo ran 1.5/1.6 60s all day long on some Toyo proxes 4 all season tires. With only 383whp.

Guy wont race, wont tell hp and car look stock, then tell hes the fastest car around. Whats the point even if its true?

Tell him his car is the slowest piece of crap and hes living in the past of his ole street racing days (even then, how fast he really was?). If he is pissed hes gonna offer you a race sooner or later!

As for SRT4 beeing all fast, no, not at all. At my local drag strip, latest group SRT4s were all struggling getting out of high 13s at no more than 105-106mph! Even one with 500rwhp(he said) on slicks. But then there was that one who did mid 11s@122mph, fastest car of the day hahaha You never know. It takes money to mod those old cars and they are not worth much these days. Heavily modded cars do not last. By the time your SRT4 is fast, you could have bought a 5.0 GT which is better in every way than a SRT4.

Damn blades, chains, even a baseball bat. What kinda goofy early 80s movie was that?

You want baseball bats ..here ya go haha.The movie is called The Warriors. It was filmed in 1978..about a gang falsely accused of shooting the leader of the biggest gang in new york city. They had every gang in the city looking to take them out. I really thought it was good for its time. You can watch the whole movie on youtube. The gang chasing the is The Baseball Furries. Hey op...theres not much you can do when he wont race...maybe leave it alone for a while and see what happens.

OP: tell the guy to run his car, not his mouth. Don't sleep on the SRT-4 though.

I think you mean North American made.

An 11 second 1/4 mile is the fastest car of the day?

I would tell him his car may be fast but it's the second fastest car in the lot after yours !! Tell him nothing more and if he feels different to pull up to the tree. When the red light drops the bullshit stops!!!

Fred 6528 · 05-23-2015, 06:34 AM

Tell him to meet you at the track and if he loses that he has to wear a Camaro hat to work for a week.

zr1chris · 05-23-2015, 04:31 PM

I would talk so much trash about his car until he had no choice but to take it to the track. Everyday, every time I'd see him. He shouldnt talk trash if he isn't willing to back it up.

He's just scurrrrrrrred !! That's all.
