Here are a few do's and don'ts.

Do

Scour the internet for the best time for your prefered car
Ignore equivalent (similarly skilled driver, conditions, etc) conditions for the competition
Rely on magical qualitative stats and specs when measurable performance shows your car is inferior
Remember that your car, when modded, can beat a stock Camaro
Remember that when modded, your Camaro can be faster than a stock GT5000

Don't

Acknowledge the other car is better
Acknowledge the other car is intended for a different market
Consider the real effects of torque, weight, gearing, or other performance factors
Concede that your car might have some sort of critical disadvantage (like acceleration or handling)

I don't understand, can you type slower?

... The only problem I have with the whole "equivalent" argument is this: Going by that logic, then the GT500 is only .1 tenth better than the SS in the same conditions. Same driver, same day, same track, etc. And we all know that's BS.

Thanks for clearing that up DG

The CAI on my Cobalt was crafted by elves from the far north out of the tears of unicorns and no Camaro on Earth can beat it.

He has a Boeing 747 engine attached to his Camaro. You'll lose.

I have a Cub Foods shopping cart, the plastic kind to save weight. I dropped in one of John Force's old motors. I am set........

I have a bench. That's right. I took bench racing literally, and I now have the world's fastest bench. Take that.

My bench has a giant red R sticker that gives it 20 horsepower. Plus, it has VTEC!

like I said above. Someone who has never lost just didn't race the right car yet.

I mistyped... he has 8. And that's before v-tec blur.
