Drag Race

Since this is a V6 race, i thought that i should put it here. I need to know your guys thoughts on my versus a 93 GL Ford Taurus, 3.8V6. Do I have a chance to win? His is completely stock, and I my mods are in my sig. The level of experiece w/ me is moderate, and for him it is non existent,(not 16 yet)! He doesnt really know how to drag, and I would run with little gas & no spare tire! Honestly can I beat him?

I wouldn't say hell yeah, because stock he'd smoke your ***

With your mods though, and his inexperience, you should be able to beat him. Just remember that stock though, his car is about 1.5 seconds faster to 60 (8.5 sec vs 10 sec).

He has an auto. And I also forgot that, his car has ignition problems, if that really matter! I personally have no doubt that i can beat him, and he think that i can beat him,(I got him scared)!

Try sticking your 5 air horns out the back of your car and if you start to fall behind just blast them to give yourself a little push forward.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Hell, they're pretty cool. I bet they generate a few laughs. I've got a police siren fitted to mine and you would be amazed at how useful that can be

Not that I ever use it of course Hee Hee

Also, how did the race go?
