Just stating facts but some people like the challenge. To each his/her own and I'm ok with that.

so does that make your vettes rice ???i have no probelm with your theory above but just becuz i or others that rock a 4 cyl dont mean its "rice" yes theres more ricer civics n what not then real 4 cyl race cars.and on slicks i have no problems with traction one bit.

I'm pretty sure you mean street cars though

Street cars. Purpose built race cars are just that. Purpose built.

Lembo... The first one has a v8 in it and just like the kid says.. 1st gear is useless.

The second one is a purpose built race car and for all that burnout that car does... Only 10.55? and 9.8?
