Focus "R" doesn't race V8's

Stang_Crazy · 08-25-2001, 11:57 AM

At a party last night, this kid had a white focus. He kept flying down the street showing off his exhaust. He finally parked infront of the house we were at and came inside. We got talking about cars and he offered me to come look at his. I went out to look at it and had to bite my tongue to keep from laughing.

He had the single big wiper blade and it was red. At the bottom of his windshield, he had a sticker that read Focussport.com!! On the back window he had a HUGE R sticker in white. The interior was all highlighted with red accents. After all the exterior stuff, He popped the hood. I asked what he had and he said only intake and exhaust. HAHAHA. A friend of mine (97 GT AODE STOCK) offered to race the kid. The kid said: "I don't race V8's" We all started laughing after we heard him say that.

Oh, and like everyone else with a "fast" car, he never ran it at the track so he didn't have any times. Just thought it was a funny story and thought I'd pass it along

What??!!!
So did you ask him, what does he race? V10's or V12's??

So what does he race then, go-karts? He must be proud!

A real man will shut-up and race if challenged, unless he is in the wrong place at the wrong time (engine rebuild).

We asked him what he raced and he said "only 4's and some 6's" haha. So we asked him if he would race a 2000 V6 stang (my friend has a grey one) and the kid said that he races "some" V6's and that the mustang wasn't one of them. I think he is one of those kids who puts all kind of crap on their car, then when you rev at them, they refuse to even look over let alone race you. It was still a fun night though.

That is too funny! Intake? Did he have an intake MANIFOLD or just a K&N air filter? To me an intake are the upper and lower manifolds.

These guys are so funny, "don't race V8's", "only 4's and some 6's". What a moron.

Good story.

ya, to a ricer, an exhaust is a muffler and an intake is a filter and maybe pipe. they have no other terms, as thats all they do!

95ragtop · 08-30-2001, 03:14 PM

Well, I have a big 4 door grocery getter for him to race, I just hope he doesn't hear the blower whine when I come down the street.

Rice...Its what's for dinner!
