However, I would still rather have my 1LE
His has a cheap CAI, exhaust, lift, and 175k miles. Stock 5.3. It's not touching my SS lol

Funny...people say the dumbest stuff sometimes...

The first day I drove my 1LE to work, this guy that has a Black Mustang GT (2010 4.6l) Asked if the SS was mine I told him "Yeah, picked it up yesterday after work". He then told me "I'm pretty sure I can beat it". So I asked "What do you have done to it?" and he answered "Nothing yet".....I giggled and said "How about you come AutoX with me?" He says "I did that once, its stupid" As I walked away I told him "That's because Mustangs suck at it, get a car that can turn and it will be fun"

Does it have a supercharger? No! Have you swapped the motor out? No! Then i doubt your little 2.4 lt motor can match my SS's V8 with a turbo. but you can always try to look big in front of your next girl friend.
I know he said nothing was done to his car, but those Civics shouldn't be underestimated if they are modified. An EG hatch with a turbo B20 making 260WHP can run high 10s/low 11s. That's if they don't blow up first.

And some people can only stab the gas and go in straight line... Put a curve in front of them and they get confused.

Don't get me wrong, I used to drag race a lot a few years ago with a 2000 WS6 and there is a lot of tech and skill involved, just a different kind. I raced with a
M6, wasn't easy...

Mainly it's the guys that make the comments like you said auto crossing was stupid. I tried drag racing in my younger days, even won my class a few times and then got bored with it, it just didn't hold my attention like road racing does. Life kind of got in the way, now I no longer have the money or reflexes for either.

I didn't get bored with it, just too much money and your car ends up not being fun anymore and turns into a chore. Being addicted to getting one more tenth of a sec at any cost gets old....not to mention breaking stuff...dang....

AutoX is just pure fun and I don't have to go totally nuts with my car to enjoy it

I've never gotten any nasty comments but if I do I'll be sure to follow it up with a good ol "You can go f#€k yourself". Among other things.

D-bag. "Wow, that's a sweet car! It's got like 400 up right?".
Me. " No, 300. It's a V6.".
D-bag. "Yeah it's a secret, the V6 is faster than the V8 because it's lighter.".
:l aughabove:

That and nice Mustang have been my favorites so far.
