Automotive misconceptions that drive me nuts

[7000rpmisheaven]

One of the things that drives me nuts is people that swear that there cars are fast when they aren't. Especially the people that have no way of knowing if is or not. Like the ricers who swear that they toasted a vette even though the vette wasn't really racing them. The guys who talk alot of trash even though even though they haven't been on a dyno and don't know how much pwoer they are making. Like putting a turbo on any 4 banger automatically makes it faster than any mustang. I've got a friend who thinks that his new civic is fast cause he can chirp the tires in second.
He says "I bet I can run with mustangs."
I say "4 cylinder mustangs?"

He says "No, I bet I could run with Gt's"
I say "I say there is no way you can run with even a stock GT"

He says "I don't know, its pretty fast"

I have yet to turn him from the dark side. But I will.
