True however most people i know or talk to that street/drag race aren't stock. All i was saying is if you call your car fast and want to race someone who also races you better have a 12sec car at least before tlaking trash....

Heck a couple mods on any ls1 fbody and you are pushing 12's......

13's for stock is good you are right!

I've lost a few times on the drag strip to a modded 2002 Trans am (lid, exhaust...). Ive also won a few times against a few stock ls1's. Mach and Ls1's are pretty much a drivers race in the 1/4(depending on mods of course). The Ls1 will eventually pull on a mach if it goes farther then the 1/4 (both cars being stock of course). Ls1's are beasts on the top end!! But I have won more than I have lost so thats not bad for an unmodded car.

On the street from stop light to stop light I have burnt PLENTY of cars. Various GT's/loads of accords,preludes,ecplises(hey they reved on me first!)/2 neon SRT 4's (lost to a srt4 stage 2...took him outta the whole pretty good but he caught up...i was like :eek: until i found out what he had done )/various other cars also....yeah I gotta stop!! I rarely ever instigate a race, if they let me know they wanna go then its on :) So I guess none of these cars I raced were modded cars...Although most of them atleast had exhaust and chances are if they have exhaust they are also doing other mods to thier cars.....So I guess I will shut up about my weak 13 second Mach :confused:

And I agree with you about what you're saying...you need to be running 12's or better if you are talking trash to another racer! Unless it's some wimpy Kia or Subaru.

i like that kind of hood with the vent or whatever its called, i've seen a few cars around town with those. very stylish. They could've been celicas...

That car has 80,000??? mine's a '95 with like 105,000 miles. wow, looks nice for 80,000 miles in 5 years. nice pic

idk who said it but imported cars definitely have an appealing look to me. Their curves make em sporty and they look hot!
