Whatever the story is behind those cars, most of them seem pretty candy a$$. I raced one a couple days ago who was all talking trash and saying he had beaten all kinds of stangs and stuff. I was thinking, yeah 4 cylinders. We went to a light and he launches from a red light. As soon as the other directions light turned red, he launch, I waited for the green (a split second) and launched, caught him in first, and wasted him in second. I pulled up to another light. And he wouldn't even pull up even with me. He stayed a car length back, so I throw it in reverse and back up with a huge grin on my face. He was so pissed he turned left out of the wrong lane. Gotta love em.
