First kill for the IROC

Ok, I just got her running again and one of the things I thought was wrong was a possible clogged cat. so I cut off the exhaust and found out it wasn't it. By process of elimination I was no spark and now I have a pure bred neighbor hater.

Anyway I was coming home from school yesterday and I see a sophmore in a riced out Focus riding my a$$.

I moved over to the next lane and he flew by me in which I caught back up to him and met him at a red.

While there I saw the standard fart cannon with the wing, and mind you this is a 4 door!!

So I drop it into 1st, rev it up to about 1200 RPMs and stood on it when the light went green. I jumped off the line and just walked him until about 95 when I shut here down.

Good Times

Good kill. I absolutely hate the r*ced out Focus's (foci?). The worst part about seeing them is the japanese exhaust on the AMERICAN car. Pisses me off. Plus they are ugly as f*ck.

LOL, yea, they try so hard. Every car you ever see that is ryced out will have a big fart can, and now you are even see them with 2 fart cannons. Those focus's are slow, i got pulled over for racing one in a sunfire. the focus had a cold air intake and exhaust, stock sunfire and i beat him pretty bad, both 5 speed. i didnt get a ticket though, he let me go.

Ugh, the double fart cans are the worst, saw one on an eclipse and almost gagged. Unfortunately at the time I was in a Neon, so I had to let him go. There's a r*ce heaven out by where I live, I'm thinking about just roaring by one day and seeing who follows, maybe I can get a multi-kill

There are alot of ricers around my area that have two fart cans and it makes it look like they have dual exhaust, People are so retarded, Why would you ruin your car like that, It's not like it makes it any faster. Here is a discussion I had on Friday night at the football game with a *****:
Me: Yo man I am buying a 1990 IROC-Z with a tuned port 350.
Him: Why would you do that?? You can buy a Civic and put a wing and exhaust on it will be faster then that heavy Slowmaro.
Me: What kinda crack are you smoking?! That **** don't make that car faster, You'd have to put 10,000 dollars in a Civic to make it beat a IROC, IROC's are awesome!
Him: Do whatever, I'll race you for slips when you get it

My favorite is when they have the two fart cars that are postioned diagonaly outward. I just don't get this. The mufflers are like 6" thick and looks like you have two barrels under your rear bumper. I just don't get it.

Hey! There's nothing wrong with that...


Me and a few of my friends, when we graduated from highschool, we built a car to make fun of all the ricers at school for the senior parade that they have every year. We just drive around the parking lot and everyone watches. Silly string and all that crap. Anyway, we took a 1990 Dodge Omni, took the bumpers off, filled in all the body gaps with bondo, and out of duct tape, plywood and sheetmetal, we made a big body kit for it. The front's actually modeled after a camaro nose. Recessed headlights and everything. The body kit sits about an inch and a half off the ground. We added a huge twom foot wing to the roof, and then cut the exhaust off and hung two folger's coffee cans off the back of the car...labels and everything. Car has hood scoops, and all. I'm gonna try to get pics. Everyone loved it, some people even thought it was really fast. ...I even showed em how I gutted the interior to save weight. Anyway, yeah...just felt the need to reminisce (sp?) Actually...I really wanna go get pics now. I still have the car...

Nice job. I can actually picture you selling that for $5,000 to some idiot if you tell him it's turbo Too bad you don't have any pics of the coffe cans on the back, haha.

Yeah, I took a pic of them, but it was getting dark out (as you can see in the sec. pic and they didn't really show up. I'll go up there again and try it later. Also, about selling it, I would but i's not exactly legal. I gutted the interior...everything, including seatbelts. I cut the whole exhaust off, so it's not exactly legal for me to sell it because it won't pass inspection. Also, you can't really drive it. It'll bottom out over the tiniest bump in the road. I'd hate to come to a speed bump...
