|  Dude, Come down off your cloud for a few.. You talk down to the poeple your are referring to. That makes you the same as them. Just because they "gloat" after a win they are bad people?? When I run someone its a blast! Whether I win or lose, I get alittle pissed when I lose but only at myself or my car. Thats just human nature. You seem to portray yourself as being enlightend, well you really make your self look stupid when you try and talk down to poeple that dont talk about losing or talk trash when they win. You are doing the same thing just in a different context. |

| I think some of us here have gone to high school, college, and on to graduate studies. I'd venture to say some of us have had a few classes in psychology. None that I ever had taught that the goal of competition was anything but to win. That is not to say win at all costs. That is not to say one should cheat. That is not to say one should gloat. It is fair to say that the win or loss should be posted, just as the winner of the OU/Florida State game will be posted in tomorrow's news paper.

| MercuryOne of my good friends owns a 2000 911 Carrera 4 ... He can only pull 1 car lengh away from me on the quarter. We are actually door to door up to 3rd gear (70MPH). Also the Carrera 4, is hard as heck to launch... if you go to hard they bounce, if you go to soft they choke. Chances are good of cleaning one with your 2000GT. Fox Body True 97 NSX-T is faster and 96 NSX-T is slower, than a 2000GT... but chances of finding a modified one are slimer than any other ricers. Parts for NSX are impossible to find and expensive as heck. NSX against 2000GT would a horse race. You bet on the driver. Micheal Black: I respect your view on things. Afterall, who likes the loud mouth that always exagerates about his wins??? But you must admit these are that these loud mouths are the people that add color to whole racing scene. They are SOB that some upgrade their vehicles to beat. BTW, do you why you are getting so much response from this post? People like to hate people that think like you.

Winners go home to ****** the prom queen" Sean Connery - The Rock Who agrees with me? ------------------ Lizard King - 00GT  >> 13.698 @ 101.2MPH - BONE STOCK, yes BONE(even air filter) stock.

Yes, I street race and have for years, but job and family responsibilities have made the nights of cruising for races a thing of the past, I'm afraid. These days, I stop-light race if the opportunity presents itself and I get a few highway races too, but not often; and since my Mustang is near-stock, my wins are not all that interesting (in my opinion) but I do post a few from time to time; you must have missed them as they are usually in response to an ongoing thread, not stand-alone posts. I retain the right to comment on the sport based on past experience and - as you indicated - my abiding interest in going faster than the guy next to me....and enjoying it.  | |

Overall I think that the people here do not gloat. I think that people here definately like their cars more than most people (I know that I do  ). But I would expect these attitudes on a Mustang Site. People liked their cars enough to make a Web Site and visit it every day (and some of us probably come here more than we should )Anyway, Quantum I know what you are trying to say. I think that most people here don't fall into that category so they are reacting to your post. All of us talk about losses. ------------------ White 1995 Mustang GT Dynomax Cat-Back, Offroad H-pipe, K&N Filters w/o Air Silencer My 1995 Mustang GT  | |
