I dont " plan" street races... This isnt the set of fast in furious... John 78 said it all... A few years ago the illinios state police showed my the errors of my ways

If i happen to fall into a street light race with someone by chance.... Thats a differnt story... Id be happy to show people what an 01' thats been lightly massaged can do....
My car is 4 years old and i KNOW i can still run with 90% thats currently out there... BUT its my daily driver and trans, ENGINES and rear ends are rather expensive and its hard to pay for those things when you cant drive to work....

I just went on a call today where to young punks were drag racing and one guy had a family filled mini van pull out in front of him.... He rolled his car and ended up on top of ... YES ON TOP OF(roof to roof) the mini van with 6 lil kids in it... Luckly nobody was killed.. But if those kids were taller they surely would have had there necks broke by the roof colapsing in on them...
Just somthin to think about ... I know it made me think.

Times have changed.....its not anything like f&f.....that movie is a frigging joke to ANY true street racer....If you notice my user title it says EX street racer. Yes I used to street race. Schaumburg police showed me the error of MY ways. But I still have plenty of friends that do it every night.......oh and by the way rocco i have a friend with a 69 nova with a big block that runs 9's.....on motor.....and he'll drive it ANYWHERE. From Wauconda to The Grove in WI and back home.... oh and did i mention hes pushing 80 years old? ....thats a true street car....or how about a certian orange z-28. Street car......im not 100% sure but id be willing to bet its in the mid to low 10's on motor.....and its street driven everyday. Or my boss has an 01 T/A WS6 lightly modded with bolt ons.....mid to low 11's on motor.....and he drives it everyday.....

Daily driver doesnt mean s**t these days......trust me.....

Wanna Race??

Maybe you missed my point.... Daily driver means daily money too me... And that much MUCH more important to me than flexin on some guy for street cred.....


And as for the 3 cars you listed, im sure there aewsome... But WOOOPIED DOOO!!!! In life there is ALWAYS going to be someone Faster,smater,richer or better looking than you ...

Whats your point???? Daily driver doesnt mean i drive it in the summer.... My car gets me too work in a foot of snow and - 20 degree days... My car is a cargo van for r/c... My car is my home away from home Anyone who knows me knows that often my back seat is hidden by uniforms, work clothes and countless papers and Fire dept. books and crap like that.... Thats a daily driver..

And i know fast and furious is a joke, i kinda felt that way about you asking me to race. If your a street (ex)racer i thought you'd know you shouldnt set that stuff up on public forums...

Like i said i dont "set up" races...

Lee, if you are looking to race someone that bad, PM BigD. From what I understand he knows a few people that street race anywhere and everywhere.

I know the "old man" too...and if you know his routine for "driving" that thing to the track and back, it's debateable how much of a street car it is. Not to say its not impressive, but its not really all that street driveable.

Thanks obsessive for catchin my drift on the daily driver thing

I get your point....and my asking you to race wasnt a joke.....i just hate fords....a lot. and races are set up on public forums all the time......check www.chitownracing.com public forum......not trying to be a dick here i just hate fords with a passion. so chillax

Ill "chillax" once i figure out what it means....


So you hate fords so you feel the need to pester me for a race???


I figured someone that works at a Lees Auto Parts (i assume by the screen name) would like fords... Concidering im sure you sell many parts too them... There kinda like job security fella... Ya know cuz there such P.O.S..


Well lee..... I must know if you hate fords... What do you like??? Imports?? Chevys??? Dare i say dodge?? What does the "ex" Street racer like????

Hee...Hee This is fun

What happened, this fire died out quickly

..Then pour some gas on it trouble maker!!!

So what exactly does eveyone drive these days?
I think I read Rocco has a Cobra... What is it? Year, color, mods?
I know Mr. Tune's email says something about a Cobra, too.

My 2 cents on street racing...It's all fine if you are in the sticks where you can be sure no one will pull in front of you or be standing along the roadway. Years and years ago we had a place in Frankfort-Mokena area along 80th avenue that was perfect. I went by there last weekend and there were houses there now!

I'll start a new arguement, I mean thread, later but i always felt that if you wanted fast (without spending a ton of money) get a motorcycle. My two Kawasakis would take just about any car on the street, and you could always tell the ones you couldn't beat just by looking and listening.

01' Cobra
-silver
-stock crome wheels
-Black leather and faux swede interior
- lots of bolt on goodies.... I dont totally wanna show my hand

Crotch rockets are superior too almost all cars...ALMOST

Well Roc, I wouldn't know what to say to get the fire started again. haha. As for me, I don't drive anything fast, that's why I ride with Roc and get him to race! Crotch rockets are cool but I can say that if I had one I would be a stain on the street already.
