I just purchased a 2003 GT w/5speed, took delivery on monday.  I traded in a...you guessed it.... 2000 honda civic EX and yes it had mods.  Didn't look so rice and it was alright in the speed area.  I was able to take V-6 stangs that had minor mods with some diffculty.  But it could be done.

Tonight I just happened upon a car with a similar set-up  as my recently traded civic at a light.  Of course I got the rev-ed motor from the civic.  I gave the nod.  The light switched green and we were off.  I short shifted the motor at 4 grand cause she ain't fully broken in yet, and by the time I hit third the civic was so far back I just stopped racing.

It brought the biggest  to my face.  I can't belive I used to think my civ was even remotly fast.  I love this mustang now more then I ever loved the civ.  I can't wait to move onto better and bigger things with the 'stang.  Can't wait to start moding and teach my F-body buddies in there place

A bit but I got over it quick.  I started moding hondas long before it started got big here on the east coast and the people doing were few and far between.  Now every car store's got somthing for the import and every teenager and the like doing it I just started to hate it.  the races got stupid every one thought they were Vin or Paul Walker flashing green for a race. I too my share of that green from the kids before my hatch got stolen and burned and after that I never went back to race.  Did a little work with the insurance money on the new honda and finshed paying for skool. With  F&F and 2F2F changing the import scene I smartened up and came back to good ole americn muscule! 

BTW- The hatch I owned would have given some stangs a run for there money

yeah...ok...

J/K!

Sorry jeep...

I had a frankinstein engine block.  It was an 1.8 LS bottom end from a integra, which is good for torque.  GSR head P&P w/ valve job, type r cams with the goodies, type r intake and tranny overside TB poished.  Forged pistons, knife edged crank.  The car was stripped to the bare bones inside.

The car put 260hp to the ground w/ 230ft.lbs.  The thing had wicked torque steer but hooked like a mother. Raced alot of cars when I was street racing and one 95% of the races.

I put 8,000 grand in the motor only to have the car stolen, stripped (what was left) and burned.  Decided that it was enough for me.  I only got enough insurance money to cover the cost of replacing the base car.

Not really considering I have been driving a much slower car for 3 years before the mustang.

I used to street race when I was young and dumb.  We did it kinda safe with spotters and stuff for any side streets on the road.  I stopped when F&F came out because every one with a car wanted to be Vin or Paul, there was atleast 2 fender benders a nite after F&F came out.

Never raced the Honda I traded in, don't really plan on racing the stang on the street either.  Saving it for the track.  The other nite was just to perfect to see how much faster the stang was compared to the honda I had.  Never said it was smart or safe.  I know it's not.

That musta been one fast import My friend is about to do Type-R valvetrain with a GSR head in his Teg. Your car was n/a? Why the forged pistons and crankshaft?

That's terrible about the theft. Around here, the insurance companies will reimburse you with the aftermarket money, but that means that you've gotta show them the receipts before the car is ruined. Which means my insurance would be through the roof if they knew what this car had under the hood (it still looks bone stock except for the enkei 17s) I knew a kid who had an Eclipse with a 3000 dollar stereo in it, had his s**t stolen and burned to the ground, and he only got money for the car. Insurance companies are gh3y.

I don't think you understand. I could care less about what car you have, have owned, raced, ect.

The fact that concerns me is you street raced. Why in the hell would you do it?[/QUOTE]

Your kinda annoying. So is that big picture in your sig, I don't care what it says, but it'd be cool if you could size it down a lil bit... I'm not tryin to troll, but you should stop preaching. That'd be like me coming in here and being like "Why in the hell would you drive a Ford?" People are always gonna street-race, let the police take car of it and stop trying to be everybody's Grandpa. Slaps on the wrist in a forum don't work too well.

Jeep, matter of fact youre real Fu*king annoying.  I am sick of every time I come on here in the RACING section and read your preachings.  You f**ked up by falling asleep behind the wheel and you feel it is your duty to chastize everyone that comes in and has a story to tell about racing.  You should get pissed at the guys who fall asleep at the wheel, not street race.  People are going to do it.  When I get back from the desert, I am going to do it.  GET OVER IT.  If you dont want to hear that people street race, stop coming into the racing section and stick to something a little more your speed, like the off topic.  You can say what ever you want, its not going to change a thing.  I have seen you unrelentingly harp on people until they leave the board and I am tired of it.  This isnt just your platform to bi**h about people/cars and what they do in them.  Get a life, get a girlfriend, start a drug habit, do some else a little more constructive with your life and leave the rest of us the f**k alone. 

To the rest of you and the initiator of this thread:  SORRY, didnt mean to hijack the tread but I figure JEEP hijacks the rest of the threads about racing, something had to be said.
