Thought you guys might like to see this, I found it fairly ammusing <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">Dear 2NR,

I am writing you because I need help. I have a
1990 Mustang GT. In the area I live there are a ton
of Hondas and imports. Every weekend the guys
with Mustangs get together and the guys with
imports meet at a different area. But we all cruise
the same street. The thing that gets to me is their
guys always try to race us. Every time I go out I'm
approached by an import that has the same
mods; 5-in. coffee can, cut springs, loud music,
and stickers. If that's what these people are into
then I'm cool with that. Really. But someone
needs to tell these people that when they pull up
next to Mustangs they shouldn't try to race us. I
have never seen an import win against a mildly
modified Mustang. Ivly car is a 347 Turbo which
runs 9.52 in the quarter mile and still has air con-
ditioning and power steering. There is no way that
any Honda driving around on the street is going to
beat that. I think that it's cool these people are
getting into cars and enjoy them. Everyone has to
start somewhere, but can you please write some-
thing to tell Hondas that Mustangs are getting
sick of wasting gas on street racing these cars. On
behalf of 90 percent of all Mustangs in this area,
we're just tired of them. We only race each other
and other muscle cars. Leave us alone. If this will
be printed, please email me with what issue it will
be in. I think that we would purchase at least a
hundred of them just to pass out.

You know what's funny, Justin? I had a Civic
hatchback with a Prelude VTEC motor and every
time I went out, I was met by the same thing: 5-
in. coffee can mufflers, cut springs, loud music,
and that ever-present "Sateen" sticker. You see, I
used to work right down the street from your
beloved domestic tuner, Sateen, and every time I
jumped on the freeway to go home, some meat-
head in a supercharged Cobra or a Mustang fast-
back on street slicks wanted to pick on me and
my poor little Civic. Luckily, my car was injected
with a healthy dose of VTEC whoop-ass, and in
five years of blazing up the freeway against
Mustangs, I never lost to a FORD (which stands
for Fix Or Repair Daily). So, on behalf of all import
owners everywhere, kiss my big black hatchback.
You can keep on wasting your gas trying to catch
up to us while staring into the smoky exhaust
fumes coming out of our 5-in. coffee cans. Now
go buy 500 copies of this month's issue and give
them out to your friends.</td></tr></table><span id='postcolor'>

OMG that is awesome! &nbsp;It reminds me of what my bf said about Mustangs, too. &nbsp;He's sick of Rustang Coughbras wasting their gas on his WS6 Trans Am. &nbsp;One thing I really like about the Rustangs is their awesome exhaust note, but they're still "Found On Roads Dead." &nbsp;The "Fucker Only Runs Downhill". &nbsp;We have a friend that spent almost $2000 in mods for his Cobra and my bf slaughtered his ass on the street and in SCCA w/ his 100% stock WS6.

That was amusing..but at the same time, sorta shameful. Now it looks like import owners are no better than the stupid domestic owners who bash on imports.

Blah. Even adults can be idiots at times. I used to sound like either one of those writers. Then I got my head out of my ass and stopped hatin'. Win is a win. &nbsp;Loss is a loss. &nbsp;It doesn't matter what the car is.

Being a former 91 Civic HB driver I would say I enjoyed that artical. I never raced the the early 90 series 5.0 mustangs cause they were fast and my 1.5L just wasnt going to beat that. Thing is I did have the chance to race a late GT and I was like damn im going to get smoked but to my suprise i beat him by a good half a car(Two block race.. damn red lights). Now that I have my 240sx im sure with the right SR20DET setup they wouldnt stand a chance. Thing is that im not event interested in that anymore, I spend most of my time drifting. When im drifting its usually 3-4 in the morning and there usually not a car in sight where im at.... even if there was I probably wouldnt race him on the streets cause I feel I have paid enough stupid tickets.... damn there just to expensive.... &nbsp;

Sorry dont know where that came from.....bah

But alot of times, Domestic owners that bash import owners look at the fahking idiots in the import spectrum...
The people that think a car's only good when it has Dual Exhausts, 3 inch lowering, Pep boys tips, and is bright fahking orange with green and white tribal grafix and has No engine work whatso ever...
Or the people that don't know what their doing, and rice up their car really badly...

They don't look at good imports (IE Cars in Magazines, and the actually Nice cars you can see...like a few of the cars featured on the boards here.)

that pisses me off

Yeah, I know what you mean, but that's just how the 2nr guys write. They bash everyone just messing around, u know? All of the replies are like that at least a little bit. It's kinda like going on the howard stern show, lol.
