Rice retard

The beginning of the post was attacking ricer flybys, lets be honest although currently it's the imports doing it (more of them around) they aren't the only ones. I've had mustangs (GT's, LX's, V6, Cobras), Camaros, Trucks do flybys as well as imports.

Does it mean they are slow...not necessarily they just either jealous or intimidated and are trying to "prove" they don't need to line up next to you for a legitimate race. A 90 LX hatch did a flyby on me and every time we got close he would back down. A week later at the track he was running 11.9@115.

Personally I have respect for some of the import guys. At least the ones that have the courtesy to pull over after a race or at least give a good heads up after a race, win or lose. One night on my way home I raced a 95 SE-R with a DET motor in it and we were dead even (I was running 13.3 at the time). We both BS'd for a while and he was pretty cool. In the end he hooked up a buddy of mine with a good source for imported motors.

That same buddy of mine who was always a Pontiac guy bought a 91 Sentra SE-R 3 years ago for $2,000. He lightened the car a bit, put a header and striaght through exhaust, NOS Direct Port kit with a 110 shot. The NOS on a 110K mile motor fried a bearing he picked up an overseas version of his motor with higher compression for $500 and the car now runs a best of 12.54@114. Not bad for a $3,500 investment. On the same note you could do the same with a mustang, pick up a decent hatback for $2,000, drop some weight, add a 150 shot and run mid to low 12's.
