newS... handS.. what are your results...

Answering your vague question (what do you mean by race? 0-60? 1/4 mile? auto-x? etc. ) Who cares? :confused:

I dont mean to be mean, but first off, try reading the forum faq to help guide you to the best places for your questions. Secondly, use that good old search button. There's about 100,000 posts on the fourms and the questions have been asked and replied to extensively.

If the cars your racing are autos...you should be able to take em....if its stick vs stick its another story...the wrx is a awd beast.Small mods like exhaust make that car rumble.He should be able to take you.Z28 should take you off the line and up high...i think you'll lose him on the twisties.350 vs rx-8...hmm....really comes down to the better driver...he should pull on you slightly but..i guess its apretty even match.Same goes for the G35...that car is underated..its a great car for its class.

This is *precisely* why we don't have a 'kills' forum.. just attracts these stupid childish posts on forums.

If you want to go street race some retard at a stoplight go for it... but don't post here about asking which one you will beat.

Oh yea and in reality, given the fact you're an adequate driver (which I doubt anyway given the tone of the post), you'd lose to all the cars you mentioned.

And if you had the hypothetical turbo kit? Please just stop there... when the "what if" posts start occuring (and they will, given that your ilk is already here), there will be endless and pointless debate on the subject.

Whoa whoa,relax bro....everyone has a right to ask questions.Who are you to call his post "Childish" and "stupid"...if he wants to street race..let him..whats wrong with street racing.If its on a dead street and noone can get hurt but the 2 drivers.Than let them.Thats there choice and personally i always think its good to ask "What IF"..if noone asked "what if we brought a Evo to America" would we have one?....all in all...just calm down..and take it easy.:cool:

The high school student had been walking listening to music on his Walkman and never heard the truck coming. Francisco was pronounced dead at the scene. The drivers of the two cars were unhurt and both were charged with criminal negligence causing death.

You know I agree with Hercules on this one. Most people, including me, do not care about who has the faster car, or the bigger house, or the prettier wife, or the most money. Who cares? This thread serves no purpose, IMO. In most cases, these types of threads turn into flame wars or pissin matches, which end up getting closed. If I was the moderator, I do it already.

I agree. Unfortunately such wisdom :p usually comes along with maturity.. which of course has NOTHING to do with age. I've had my car for almost 4 years now.. NEVER street raced, what's the point? I don't care if my car is faster than another one in a straight line, join me at a real race track with turns where driver skill shines and then we can race. And if one spins out then nobody else but the owner can get hurt. Of course I might not be saying this if I was 18 but that's another story. :)

I give it to herc this time this thread is pure crapola.

Nowhere in his incoherant rambelings was there even the slightest hint of anything that would be concidered a rational thought.

Everyone in this forum is now dumber after reading this thread.

I award him no points and may god have mercy on his soul.

ps do you all know where thats from?

Be patient little Ike, and wait till after we gaze into the "Magic Mirror". I see Ike with his WRX, and there is Herc with his black RX-8, and we see JTek_55 sitting in his Audi TT and Quick_lude in his Prelude, and last we see the person who started this dumbass thread - RedLineAt9.

Then after we wake from our naps, we can do bend and stretches for whoever wants to reach for the stars. :D

How about, "What u think in a race ... on a track ... by show of"

I'll presume a smooth but twisty paved track with one long straight, and all cars being MTX.

RX8 VS. Suburu WRX -- RX8
RX8 VS. Z28 -- Z28, unless the straight is very short and the track very winding
RX8 Vs. 350z -- 350Z, simply more power, stiffer suspension
RX8 Vs. infinity G35 -- RX8, while same chassis/motor as 350Z, its bigger, heavier and softer.

Oh why not, it's not like I/we should take these forums TOO seriously.
