While I am not a glutton for punishment, I do like being the underdog. Sometimes you don't have to "win" in order to win. I've sprayed my old Crower B16 against some serious heat, and lost --- we pull over and THEY are pissed b/c of how close I kept it w/ a car that I can insure for pennies and has a KBB value of 1500 or less. To each his own.
Yup.

It's funny, I usually have the exact opposite reaction. I have raced guys who have worked on their car specifically to run with me. Seen them "test" race gas tunes, spray, blown their motors up, almost had their cars fall apart..you name it. And all this, just to keep up with 1 of the MANY aspects (in fact, probably the easiest for another car to try to match) that my car can do so well. So when we get done, it makes me feel pretty good to know someone went through all that trouble, and all I did was put bolt ons on my car lol
