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.

so why is that still open when you already stated the camry has no chance,but you want to close this one when you say I have no chance.

I dont know why but Im getting the vibe you dont like me when in fact I did nothing to you.
I know after you read this youll be pissed because you wont be able to accept the facts so go ahead and lock it ,you already killed this thread anyways
You prob wont stop there though ,youll end up deleting it
And when I do see it deleted Ill know I got to your head Last edited by 82knightrider; Feb 21, 2005 at 10:17 PM.

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.

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'.

Take your pick
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.
