I'm not arguing. You can believe what you want. Like I said, I really don't care, I still sleep at night. Now I think of this as a game, people STILL write on this thread, having nothing to do with the original topic, I just think it's kind of humorous. So, thanks for helping me keep it going. It's interesting to see all the things people say when they're not face to face.

As for the video--can't do it now. His cobra is in the shop. For some reason (he knows, but I just forgot why), 2nd, 4th, and reverse only work half the time. It's like trying to shift into a brick wall. So... yeah. That car has been beaten its whole life. Too bad, I really like the car too. Nice sound.

I don't know why everyone is attacking me. I just asked a simple question. For the record, I will say that 99% of the time, mustangs will kick an 8's ***. But it just so happens that I can beat 1 individual cobra. I don't speak for anyone else, and neither does my friend. This is just how it is. Sorry.

To be honest I don't doubt your claim I just think that there are some facts missing. I believe that you can probably beat his Cobra but only if it's not in it's mechanical prime. Our 8 would not stand a chance against a healthy 1995 Cobra and that's a fact (minus driver error). Don't you agree?

Hrmm....I recall reading:

Anyway, to get back on topic, can anyone else answer my question?


Okay - So...which is it? Your RX8 beats your buddy's ONE PARTICULAR Mustang.....OR...RX8s Catch up to Mustangs?

The Problem isn't your question - its your insistence that we're all crappy drivers if our particular RX8s would NOT make up a two second deficit in the 1/8th mile, to catch a Mustang by the 1/4 mile mark.

No, no one on this forum knows how to drive as well as you can apparently. This whole time all those people who actually race, track, auto-x our cars lack this ability to "drive".

Perhaps you should register on the SVT forums and tell them all about your driving skills. I am sure they will especially be impressed that you can make up a whole 2 seconds in a 1/4 mi to beat a cobra.

Be sure to post a link where you start the thread. The rest of us want to learn your skillet.

You two are just a bunch of nerds chuckling to themselves while they write stupid, irrelevent comments online while going back and forth to **** sites because you are retarded nerds who have never been laid. Sure, you can come back and say, "Nuh uh, I been laid. Billions of times!" But we all know, so don't bother.
Haa haa haa...nice...

I'll post up a vid - if I can find it - of my previous car making up a 2-second deficit in a 1/4 mile race tween a 2000? Civic SI and my old Ford Probe. I wheel hopped so badly, I had to clutch-in. Ended up beating him 15.00 @ 100mph to his 15.7 @ 89? IIRC he was up by 2 seconds to 1/8th mile...or so. But it took my car ALL of it's 100+whp advantage to close the distance.

I never said the 8 would beat all mustangs. I like mustangs, my dad actually has an 07 GT/CS. That has crazy power.

Do you now recant your statement that "Mustangs will kill an RX8 off the line, but the RX8 would catch it"?

"A" Mustang (you raced) killed your Rx8 off the line, but you caught him later. <--- That'd be plausible.

No. It would catch it. Not the new ones of course.

If its not already blatantly obvious there is nothing anyone can do to help you understand.

I thought for sure you were all about the "don't ask don't tell"...

I don't even think you know what you're talking about. Please, professor, enlighten me. What are you talking about. By the way, you have an ugly *****.
