If your dumb enough to race for titles, you deserve to lose your car. No sympathy here.

tbone0122

LOL LOL I CANT FREAKIN BELIEVE THAT SOMEBODY WOULD GET ON HERE AND TELL THE "WORLD" THAT HE JUST DID ONE OF THE STUPIDEST THINGS HE COULD'VE DONE. man you must have plenty of money to throw away. racing for money or bragging rites is one thing but to run for titles?????????????? come on man. no sympathy here either. (except for the wife and kids)

I read the whole thread before I realized he had a TBI car. Geez no wonder. A stock 5.0 Mustang has 225 HP and runs mid-high 14's. A stock TBI f-body has 170 HP and runs low 16's. Of course he would spank you. Just because a thirdgen has a V8 doesnt mean its a fast V8. That stock V8 TBI is half the reason why thirdgens get so laughed at. People dont understand the difference in power, they just know its a V8 (and think they're all 350's).

But, if it is true then you have learned your lesson I hope.

You do know he has no legal right to your car? Those types of transactions would never hold up in court say you decided not to hand over the title and he takes you to court. Of coarse if you signed a written agreement and/or already signed it over then your out of luck.

Not that I am saying to back out of a mans deal, but its kind of silly to even do it in the first place. Of coarse if you could and did back out then you have to deal with that situation as well.

I had to deal with this one time here in Ohio. To kids with their tuners decided to do it. Well one lost and signed it over. However, dad later found out and came to me to get his kids car back. Come to find out in Ohio if you do this it can be considered gambling, and there for be illegal.

Good luck

I just can't help but think this entire OP was just troll bait. I could be wrong, its happened before.

vingta1989

you should have raced for brains instead of titles...

IROCThe5.7L

That's why it's always good to be educated about vehicles (esp your own) before doing something like that. Eight cylinders do not always = fast. I don't know about where you live, but here some 4 banger civics would pull bus lengths on me.

TraviZ

iTrader: (2)

whats wrong with this, he put money in or is it stock? unless overall tune up constituted lots of money.

freestylzz

With your setup I believe it and...

this fool raced an '89 5.0 with a tbi based Iroc???

iTrader: (20)

Haha there are some here that would put lengths on ME and i'm already mid 11's at almost 120mph!! But i will have another 150 on tap in about a week just in case

i wouldnt race a lawn mower for pinks, to much on the line, maybe if the driver was Fred Flintstonein' it i may

that sucks because i hand fox body 5.0's their lunch all the time with a tree-o-five TBI.......but its not stock


i will be nice enough to say i feel sorry for your stupid a$$ idea

well now you got to get you another one, but this time dont race it..... was it a nice camaro or was it a junkaro

v10viper04

I have two things to say, That was a dumb choice racing for pinks, and two the mustangs are not that fast at all BUT they are faster than an L03.

25thmustang

If this isnt BS, your dumb to think someone racing for Pink slips isnt going to lie and say their car is less modded than it is...

I think it's kinda funny myself. I'd race for cash but I'll be damned if I'd risk a title for a race unless he was REALLY dumb and I KNEW I was waaay faster. Even at that it would be a tough decision to make. It only takes one missed gear or broken part to lose. Wow, what a moron....now he should sue Rich on Pinks for putting the thought in his head!!

JPhillis

I HAD and I say HAD an L03 and it would not even turn the tires power braking it when I bought the car for $600.00. I would not even tried to race a Yugo with an L03.

IROCZZ3

A stock L03 can't even outun a Ford Escort GT, what makes you think you'd beat a 5.0 Mustang?

True story or not this is pretty funny to me.

v10viper04

My old L03 could burn pretty good once it got going and it had POSI.

JPhillis

Mine could burn pretty good to, about 4 qts evry 1000 miles

haha nice one hahaha

crap box LO3's give all of them a bad name, i know mine burns a stock 350 TPI.......but than again its ALOT faster than it was when it was stock i will say that

people dont like it when they know they been beat by a 305 TBI
off the subject but i would like to put the bigger 454 TBI on it and feed some more fuel and air in

STILL STUPID TO RACE ANYTHING FOR A TITLE, as said b4 one missed gear, lose traction, random breakage of something, there is just to much on the line, i have heard of huge HP cars losing there title to rice burners do to a simple problem in the race

fly89gta

iTrader: (1)

I'm trying to figure out what's more retarded...

The fact that you raced a 5.0 in with a LO3 for titles or the way you ATTEMPTED to type out the story.

Christ, my head hurts now after trying to read that.

//<86TA>\\

iTrader: (14)

i would, that would be cool

Blakcamaro

my bro has a bolt on 5.0 and it rips. i would never think of running any 5.0 with my LO3. Especially for titles.

https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/theo...tml?highlight=

how the heck did you think you were ready to race for pinks??? This isn't TV, your car wasn't fast, and you didn't know how to drive it! I feel bad for you, but you really should've known better.

and please tell me it isn't your cousin with a 5.0 that you referred to in this thread-

https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/tech...tml?highlight=

that took your car from you!! That would just be evil. Or since you said your cousins is a 90 5.0, maybe him being a terrible driver with a beat car made you think you could take on any 5.0 you ran across. Either way, very sad.

rx7speed

why? he still would of lost.

yeah, well i just smoked my cousins brand new bolted up z06 last night, and beat him by 5 cars in the 1/4

fly89gta

iTrader: (1)

...and then the drugs wore off right lol

8T9 BANDIT

no dude, he even got a good jump on me. but then i shifted manually, and vrooooomm, I spanked him.

v10viper04

again, then the drugs wore off? You have to have about 600+hp on a good setup to beat a Z06....

LMSkyliner

iTrader: (1)

Don't forget he beat him by 5 cars in the quarter.. That's gotta be worth 1000+ Hp right?

v10viper04

agreed hahaha

8T9 BANDIT

yeah, that was a good race, but not like that lime green murcialago i raced back in july, we went from a 35-40mph roll, and ran all the way up to 155mph. i had him by about 3 cars. at least thats what my freind told me that was following us in his corrolla.

LMSkyliner

iTrader: (1)

that's nothing. Yesterday i beat a honda.

8T9 BANDIT

actually today i did some weight reduction on my car, i took out my 6x9's and my passenger seat. im going to atco raceway tommorow. with my recent reduction in weight, i think i can finally pull off a low 10sec pass. what do u guys think?

rx7speed

what I wasn't in the corrolla dawg. I was pimpin it in my 76 accord.

v10viper04

What exactly do you have into your car that you can beat a Z06 and a Lambo? Really would love to know... unless its a freakin drag car...

LMSkyliner

iTrader: (1)

You could at least be a GOOD liar. Geeze. You said you beat a bolt on C6 Z06 by 5 lengths. The record for a bone stock showroom (even stock tires) C6 Z06 is 10.97 in the quarter. A bolt on car should be capable of mid to low 10s easily in that case if the builder and driver know what they're doing. To beat him by 5 lengths either a) the guy can't drive or b) your car would already be running low 10s or more likely 9s with probably 800+ HP.


like i said, you could at least be a good liar
