my friend's camaro vs. a MERCURY TOPAZ XR5

My friend has a 1984 Z28 with the 305 H.O., My other friend has a 1992 Mercury Topaz XR5, The XR5 has a 3.0 Vulcan V6 engine with a 5 spd, My buddies Camaro has no mods, and it's auto, I think stock the Topaz has about 160 hp.
They came to a dead stop, They took off, At first they were dead even and then the Camaro ate the Topaz alive, I know this Topaz is pretty quick I seen it beat a Neon R/T already.

Unless the Topaz is runnin 15.0 or faster it would have no chance against a H.O. Those are fast man. And a Neon R/T? What a P.O.S.

Ricers aint fast either. I've never lost to an "Import" and I will race them everytime to shatter there dreams. And a Topaz is what a 4 door? It'll never be "fast".

Very fast car!! I took out the air filter and put in a turbocharger, I get to 60 in about 6 seconds. I can cream the crap out of Mustang GT's and Camaro's - boy do their heads turn when they see me fly by.

i dunno about you guys but i'll take 5. :hail: :hail: :hail:

LoL...If his post is true, I'd bet this is the SAME car he's driving now, because his friend probably sold it to him.
