...but I'll tell the story anyway. I was heading down hwy124 towards Lawrenceville today around 3:30pm and a hideous white and blue two tone WRX got up next to me. Both of our windows were rolled up and tinted, but I could see him look over @ me. I down shifted, as did he. I dont know what gear he went to, but I went down to 1st. We both punched it and I easily pulled away from him even though I spun through the remainder of first and through second untill I let off the gas. We didnt make it too much further before we were first in line @ the red light @ 124 & dogwood. I heard him bringing up his revs when the side light turned yellow. When the light turned green, I just pulled away from him. I wasnt even at full throttle. He got up next to me then I gave it full throttle and pulled another car on him. I then shifted into second and let him get about a bumper ahead, then floored it and pulled a car again. I actually felt really bad about showing him up like that, but he wanted to play and I gave him something to play with :D
It actually reminded me of this video....lol
YouTube vid (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5NObdATecI)
There was a kid in a silver celica behind me that saw the whole thing. He got up beside me and when I looked over at him, he just started laughing....as did i :lmao:

My DSM doesn't waste any of my money unless it goes into making it faster ;). If he's so sure he'll beat me and he wants to run his mouth, he can make it worth my time. PERIOD. As far as picture of 10k i've already posted that, if you wanna go look for it be my guest, i don't give a **** abour your opinion. Why is everyone harping on weight? Because there's no excuse for being a porky outta shape puke. You got time to "work on your car" but you can't get yourself to the gym or run a mile a day and keep yourself healthy?

You talk out of your ass like the spoiled immature brat you are. You honestly think you are cool because mommy and daddy bought you an evo. You can talk about my weight all you want to as well. It doesnt bother me as It obviously doesnt bother Thacker.
I could have sworn this forum was about the speed of your car, not the number on the scale.
Now I realize that its obviously about how immature you can act when you drive a 12 second lancer.

He's still stuck in a time zone when I was 300 lbs instead of a much leaner 215 that I weigh now.
I told him I could do $500 or $1k but I'd want it to be at the track where there was no misunderstanding about who the winner was.
My GTO in its current form would put a bus length on this "12.0 @ 114" EVO. He knows it..... he just doesn't want to admit it.

because i've told him a 100 times and everyone else, if we were to get caught street racing the legal ramifications are far more than $1000 to take care of. He wants to go to the track, i'm more than an h our away from every track, and frankly i don't have the time to go, between work and relaxing. Unless he makes it worth my time it's pointless, i know i'm going to win, so why waste my time unless it's worth it. 1k is not worth my time. If he can't run w ith the big dogs stay on thet porch. I'm not saying im the most ballerinist mofo on the planet i'm just saying it's not wroth my time.
no 20k is not a mod, i'm just stating there's a price difference for a reason. The SRT-4 and the EVO aren't even in the same ballpark. Same state even. 40 more hp and AWD makes for better handling and almost 2 seconds better 1/4 mile on the SRT-4 which runs high 14's stock. I'm just stating facts brother. You know this.

Honestly it wouldn't, he posted about how he go t his ass handed to him by some 29 inch rimmed chevy, and here he is still talkin all this garbage. He doesn't care, he's not going to change no matter what. Not to mention i don't care if i embarrass him, we all know he's a ***** who talks **** and he reports people to the cops who hit him after he talks ****.

When i take my car to the track after im' done modding and i want to get a new time, i'll be happy to let him know. But i have to take off work and plan, and doing that just to shut him up is not worth it for me, i'd be doing it for my own pleasure.

even a 12.5 is hard to believe for a showroom condition evo. best i could find on youtube was a 13.1... and that looked like a really clean run!
edit:
i swear i'm not trying to be an evo hater, because i know there are quite a few out there that will hold their own to damn near anything else on the road. a couple of which reside on this board. i'm just sayin stock for stock, i dont see how evos are all THAT great for the price you pay.

Collins, he is full of ****.
The fastest times I've been able to find was a 13.1 - 13.3. This was done at ATCO one of the fastest tracks in the country because its rumored to be shorter than 1320 feet. To be honest it doesn't matter what his stock times were. This guy has major delusions of grandeur. Read some of his old posts... everytime he goes to the track he brags about how his mods have picked up his car. :screwy:
I told him we could do it at the track for 1k. Hell I will even put up $1200 to his $1000. That covers his gas, time lost and the winnings.
:goodjob:
Hell collins, my car only trapped like 109 so I don't see why he wouldn't yank me all over the track.
Seems like EASY money to me. :goodjob: I even got beat by a BONE STOCK AUTOMATIC 2.73 GEARED C5 Vette. I made sure plenty of people saw that one too.

To be dead honest I would take an SRT 4 over an Evo.
I prefer the STI over both but theres just something to me that screams major homo about the Evo's.
A red SRT lowered, with the spoiler removed on some nice black rims with drag radials in the front would be a good cruiser car IMO.

There's more to a car than just the straight line performance. However I see what your saying.

Let me break it down to all of you. First of all, a neon and lancer are both great cars. You can't beat their mpg ratings. The Evo vs. Srt-4 debate is pure stupidity at its best. Anyone with a good set of eyes can tell you that not only is the Evo better looking, but also faster and much more well balanced than the Srt-4. This whole 10k bet, is all just a front. Just like saying you have some cookies in your closet and you're more than welcome to go get them, if you dare. You add a verse that could confuse someone into not wanting to get the cookies anymore. Same goes with racing. Add more money than the guys is used to seeing and he'll back off completely.
From my time on this forum, I personally don't see anything wrong with ThackerSS and his actions. Sure he talks smack in every thread he posts in, but to let it get to you shows how poweful his words are. He races. That's a lot more than a lot of people can say here. Some of you hardly race, yet he talks smack, races, and comes back the winner. He's proven this. No one can criticize him and his actions. And that's the bottom line.

There is no real answer to this "discussion" because everyone buys different types of cars for different types of reason. Someone would rather have an awd car over a fwd if they lived in a place that would get snow blizzards 2 or 4 times a year. Wouldn't you? An Srt-4 isn't a bad car, it's cheap and can be made pretty quick with minor bolt ons. Still, don't you hate it when you can't put the back windows down while you're sitting in the driver seat? Must be a pain to have to manually do it everytime. Evos are great cars too, fast from the factory and way better balanced than the Srt-4, period.

the GT500 is the new Cobra. Its not discontinued.
The reason for discontinuing the Supra is because Toyota couldnt justify selling a $60k car under the Toyota name....but that was back in 98. Lots of rumors have been going around about a new Supra.
The G35 was the Skyline in Japan and Europe, and they dont call the new GTR the R35 for nothing.
The camaro/firebird got discontinued because Mustangs were trouncing them in the sales department. Not to mention they are coming back out...though I know you are fully aware of that fanboy.

It doesn't matter if they only roll down 6 inches. That's not the point. The point is that you need to 'manually' operate them to have them rolled down. Your speaking privileges have just been revoked. Don't respond til you redeem yourself.
Again. The bottom line is that the Evo is better than an Srt-4. End of story.

hmm for 15k I'd hope it was a better car but thats besides the point. I responded to that small part because it was a stupid observation. Who the **** cares about rear windows. Except maybe some dumbass kid with pictures of 2 guys as his signature and a quote from a dumbass movie. But wait maybe there is some reason I should listen to your expert advice. or not

well, the fact that the front windows are power and the rear are not is pretty gay. They should have at least had an option to get power rears...imo

Funny considering a Cobras MSRP was higher than the Goats.
Wonder why ford jacked the price up on those? All that plastic must have been expensive.
LOL... by a couple hundred:gay:
The cobra is still the best bang for the buck... new or used;)
How many cars can you name that will run 10's with less than 25K invested... Obviously I am not talking about taking a shell and throwing a motor in it

Best bang for your buck for what? Because its definitely not drag racing... and last time I checked throwing a cobra around a road course was like watching a brick slide across ice.
Ford did two things right with those cars. Forged botton end, and a super charger.
Now, here are the things that are wrong.
Weak input shaft on the tremec t56
Infamous head problems. tick tick tick.
Weak ass glass like IRS.
WEIGHT.
Lack of cubic inches.
Interior. They share the exact same design, seating position, cheap ass materials as a v6 Mustang.
V6 Mustang.

If you are judging how good a car is and "bang for the buck" simply by its straight line performance than a Cobra gets beat in that regard also.
How many cars will run 10's with less than 25k invested? TONS.
My camaro will run that with 8k invested over the purchase price.
Any of the LS motors are 10 second capable with bolt ons and a 150 shot and tires. That is about $3000 if they pay for all the labor and the tune.
The ONLY thing a cobra has going for it is the fact that you can throw a pulley on it, and make about 90 more RWHP than stock.Even then you are only looking at 117-120 traps at the track at mid 11's best to low 12's. Not really impressive IMO for 450ish RWHP. Other then that you are looking at an expensive blower port job, aftermarket blower etc. Once you get into that the Cobra's playing field evens out with any other car that was around its price range.
