Who would of won

I dont see why this was locked so I edited it......
I took the S/E out for a spin today and what do you know,I see a ****(98ish eclipse ) weaving in an out of the traffic and thinking hes all that.Anyways,farther down the road where its more deserted by the way,we both roll up to the same red light.Judging BTW I saw him driving before I figuered he would wanna race right?So before the light hits green we both give eachother the Im gonna smoke you look and some revs.When it hit green I gunned it and he just chilled Why didnt he race?here are the mods from just lookin at his car,5 inch pipe tip,a 3 foot spoiler,and am assuming intake mods.So who woulda won if he raced?

It got locked because

1) It is a pointless poll; how the hell would we know why he didn't race?

2) You evaded the filters

3) You're obnoxious (well, your thread didn't get locked because of that, but I'd thought I'd point that out).

The fact of the matter is he didn't race, plain and simple. Life goes on.

oh and the question was" who would of won ".I dont see that any different than tons of other threads in this particular forum ,for example:https://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/sho...hreadid=277888 or https://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/sho...did=278733.And the why didnt he race part was just a joke Sorry if you dont have a sense of humor

He probably knew the dangers of street racing and or didn't feel safe to race where you were. Maybe he didn't want to waste the gas.

I can see this thread is going to go no where. Give me a reason to keep it open.

Most of todays cars can outrun a 16 second car. So don't plan too many victory parties.

If you want an answer, he probably would have beaten you. An 82 LG4 is, at best, a mid 16 second car. Typical economy four bangers are able to outrun that engine in this day and age. Is that what you were looking for?

Frankly, the reason I replied to your thread was because you made yourself out to be more of a ***** than your competition. You call him a *****, yet your mentality suggests that you would just as eagerly race your LG4 (remember, your 16-second V8 powerhouse ) on obviously busy road. Isn't a ***** someone who has a car that isn't all that fast, but still acts like his car is the fastest thing on the road? At least I thought that's what most people consider ricers...

The line about "Anyways,farther down the road where its more deserted by the way" sounds like you just added that in to safegaurd yourself from any potential lectures you might get about racing on public streets.

Again, your poll is just pointless. How would we know why the guy didn't "race" you? We're not mind readers, you know.

I'm sorry I offended you.

And that's why no one likes or respects you. My four banger would have beaten you on 3-cylinders, how do you like that?

There was more info in the camery thread. We knew what was invloved with both parties. You don't know anything about that eclipse. How can we talk about a car when we have no idea what mods it has or anything about it?

I am sorry you feel this way but I am having to explain to myself why it is blatenly obvious why a thread like this is going no where. The thread you bring up in defense of yourself all have more info from willing parties who actually raced. It is bandwidth clutter. Everyone could post a story of a car they pulled against that they tried to race but didn't. No one cares. Also, by going no where I mean you will get a ton of useless replies from people asking the same exact thing. It is for your sake not mine.

Yea you got it. My secrect is out. Please. I didn't kill this thread. The lack of substance in your first post killed it. What facts am I not accepting? I am sure I have a better hold on the situation than you when it comes to thread managment on TGO. I don't think you will get to my head

You didn't cause any problems. I just wanted you to understand the reasons why I said what I did. It is nothing against you, just the thread. Threads like this always get the typical repsonses from people. Such as "Man watch out those DSM's are fast". To which another idiot replys "Man DSM's suck and break all the time you will beat him". The flames then go on from there and the thread collapses. The ambiguous nature of your first post opens you up to a barrage of attacks from people. Don't worry you will pick up on it the more and more you read the threads on TGO. In a couple of months you will see what I mean.

He didn't want to race because you both run 16s... there's no point to even ****ing around if you're that slow.

I had an SN95 Cobra convertible rev'ing at my '96 Beretta daily driver the other day because it's got racing stripes and a fart can muffler. I just drive it because it's good on gas and it was cheap. It's crawlin'.

I got my money on 82 Knightrider!

I believe that with some tuning and tweaking, and a really good driver like 82knightrider, he could launch it like no other!. Plus, it's got LG4 HP.
I got your back man!

Alright, sounds fair. I'm going to take it a little OT though.

For SnG, what's the best your Firebird has run?

The Beretta went 14.80s on a 75 shot spraying it at the 60' mark.
