Ricer kill

My friend was driving my car with me on the way to Chicopee on the highway. We saw this old red integra or somethin and decided we would drive right next to him. The guy in the integra looks at us and pegs it so my friend drops it a couple gears and pulls 3 or so cars before we reach 85. It was funny but a waste of gas if you ask me.

After reading some of your posts, I can tell that you are one of those closed minded, domestics rock, kind of guys. I should meet you to show you that there are imports out there that will beat ya.

I admit that there are many domestics that are great out there, anything with an LS1 or LS series motor in general, a Cobra, and others, but that doesn't mean there isn't an import that can't compete with them. Just remember, there will always be a car out there that is faster than you, it might be a domestic or it could be an import.

Reguardless of where a car is made, its the race that counts. I don't care if I race an import or domestic, as long as its a good race I'm happy.

Now not to rain on your parade... but comparing LS1s to ricers is like comparing GSX-R1000 to a harley.... there are 4bangers that are faster and there are harleys that will wheelie... but when it comes down to TIME and $$$$ it is better with a V8 - enough said

I would have probably did the same thing but a 3 bucks a gallon your probably right about the waste of gas

People say imports are "fast" but just a question: If you take a 4 cyln and put 10g's into it, itll run 14's if you put 10g's into a v-8 or ls motor you will run 9's so where is the comparision?
Domestics lead the way and imports follow in the rear!

Here's a hint - you're on LS1.com, nobody wants to hear your "imports can hang dawg" rant

You can brag about your 4 banger all you want, it will never be as nice as a V8 with similar power.

Umm... I didn't have to put any money into my import to make it run 13s... If I were to put 10k into it I would be in the low 10s high 9s... How's that for a comparison. Just incase you don't believe me... Here is a 2004 STi on a stock block running a 10.32...

Just because I'm on LS1.com doesn't mean you have to have close minds... Go onto a Subaru site or another import site, we give respect to all cars. I've said numorous times, that I wanted a Z06, but I needed 4 doors and a back seat, so I could get one. I just hate how some people are completely closed minded on cars. There will always be a car out there faster than yours, it might be another domestic or it could be an import... When I run into a domestic that beats me I don't hate and act like an asshat, I give him props. We both have a hobby that is the same and we both have that same interest in making our cars faster or having a fast car.

I stuck at a Camaro SS's 1/4 panel. I didn't pull a ricer flyby and act like an asshat, I gave him props. His car was faster than mine, I can't be mad at the owner of a car for having one that's faster. I also don't have an excuse, he beat me, plain and simple.

I guess I'm one of the wierd few that respect a car for its performance, not because it is a domestic or import. If a car has some potential to be as fast as I want it to be, I like it. I love the LS series engines, next to the boxer engine, it is my favorite. I love the potential of both and if all works out I will be getting a LS1 powered car.
