Default lost 3 times last night!

!st race was a 98 cobra from a dead dig. I had him to the top of third but i ran out of gear and he creeped on me and finished with his bumper even with my hood. Good run. Then a 02 GT with exhaust and some other stuff. He Put about a car on me. Then said his friend in a turbo civic wanted to go. So i obliged. Prety even launch(i was grannying it out to avoid exess spin) And then walked away from him, but missed my 2-3 shift, twice. By the time i found third his sideview mirror was at my front bumper. Threw his flashers on. I asked if he wanted to go once more because i blew my shifts. he said sure, but when we cruised back to the start he and his friends bolted out of there. The stangs were honjest losses, but that civic was mine and he knew it, so he ran rather than loose. Oh well. A fun night all in all. Not bad for a 94 GT with gears, exhaust, and 200,000 miles. I was also toting around a bunch of crap like my tool kits, a case of oil, bag of oil filters, clothes. Good times.

Light Em Up!

Default I wish that was the deal.

3,500 would be awsome. The Information plate inside the door frame clames a factory weight for this car at 4,400 lbs. I have never weighed her or anything so i just assumed that i had an exeptionaly heavy car. All claims are based on factory information. I think i will check into that now that you guys have said something about it. Light EmUp!! Jon

Those weights are with four passangers and there luggage (I think 250# per a person) so the car would way about 3400.

That is nice to hear. That is a lot better. It's too bad though, a 4400 lb car hanging with the new ones sounds better than a 3400 lb car doing the same Later
