Cars and boats!
a few months ago I ran a STi with all bolt-ons, boost controller, and big FMIC... raced 3 times, i holeshot him twice and walked him and the one time he did get the jump on me i reeled him in and passed him quick!!!

....it was the same night that I ran the 500hp Evo and won!!!

Nothing like a Subbie owner talking out of his ***. I think those STi's are hot, assuming you don't have any loose fillings, but the Merc is in a whoole different league.

Actually, he is a Mustang owner. No big surprise there.

I lost to Mustang GT once.....because when we took off, I hit a bump in the road and my rear wheels jumped up a little causing slippage and ESP to kill the engine. I still almost caught back up to him at around 80mph.....

I love the part where the guy insists that a Stage 4 WRX could kill the C32. He justifies a heavily modified car beating a stock car. How about a Stage 4 WRX vs. a Stage 2 or 3 C32? Apples-to-apples............

By the way, I love Silva's statement "people will always talk smack bout MB... when they finally can afford one. they won't say no more"--very well-put!!

Now would you really want to be seen in a Stage X WRX or an AMG Benz? Anyone can mod a Yugo and smoke a Ferrari, so what's his point? The 2.0 just wouldn't have the torque until turbo kicks in. It should be common sense.
