you drive an 8. you get chicks. even if you're insanely ugly, you can still bag a nice chick because of your car. it doesnt mean she isnt a shallow chick, she probably is shallow bc shes just with you because you drive an 8.. but you can still get a girl if ur an ugly dude in ur car. simple everyday logic.
BWahahaha! That's good...had tears comming out--so funny cause it's prolly true!

Ike,

"Newbie Fanboi?!" Is that a superiority trip cause you've been posting longer than anyone alive or your way of just saying "hi?"

I wouldn't call it pent up... Are you sore that I was making fun of you in the other thread without you knowing it? I'm sorry, lets be friends again!

A Hemi equipped anything will dust the 8 from a stop, roll, backwards, whatever. I was on the highway a while ago and downshifted into third and floored it at about 65-70 and moved into the center lane to pass a slow driver in the fast lane. A mean looking black charger was behind me in the center lane. He accelerated, moved into the far right lane and blew by me like I was standing still. All I saw was an R/T badge and taillights. He tried to bait me into a race, but I wisely declined. Simply put, U will get PWNED.

I don't know if I'd go that far... The Durango and Ram with the Hemi aren't that fast. Any of the LX cars, yeah, you're going to lose. My stage 2+ WRX was about even with my dad's Magnum from a roll.

I have people try to start stuff all the time. I just bow them off cause otherwise I'd feel like a stupid ***** trying to prove my car is faster than whoever's. Plus I don't want to take a chance and lose. lol

But seriously a friend of mine bought anew Camry v6. He thinks is soo hot. He's telling me stories about how fast it is and how eh beats ss Camaro's and crap. Now I know he's a retard, and over confident in his car, but how much more lame I would be if I raced him to try to prove that point?

I don't race very often. But like everyone else here I've done a few test runs.

Plus racing is bad. Last time I did it I got busted. Of course, the cop was cool and let me off with a mild 30mph over the speed limit ticket.

Think of it this way ... it could be worse. I had a guy try to race me in an F430. YES. A FERRARI.

As far as a Hemi 300C, if they are getting high 13s and the BEST stock 8 time I've seen is 14.3, he's pretty much got you. In a mile you'll get him, maybe. but then again ...

haaha, I actually raced a 300 c hemi R/T and whatever the hell other stupid *** words and letters those stupid *** cars have..

You know I don't give a crap if those things are faster, we look better, and try taking that hunking piece of metal to an autocross...

For Americans it's simple... I WANNA GO FAST SO I'LL ADD AS MANY CYLINDERS AND LITERS I NEED TO ACHIEVE THAT...

Yeah, I forgot about the Durango with the 5.8 Hemi. They may be the only ones that are slower. I couldn't pull away from a two door Hemi Ram with exhaust. I've got a drop in filter and Greddy exhaust. He may have had an intake and/or flash tune as well though. They are all still boats that will capsize if you corner too fast (non SRT). Those SRT guys are some crazy ****'s though. I wish Mazda had the ***** that they do! SRT8 Grand Cherokee 0-60 under 5s and pulls .9 g's. Nucking Futs!

One interesting point is... the "HEMI" (hemispherical heads) aren't even real HEMI's. Its a marketing gimmick. I've seen these heads, and they barely have any curve to them at all.
