pink slip race

Yeah, he insisted on pinks!

I had a guy at one of my jobs try to race me for pinks in his Millenia (the NA version) with 18" chromies on it. I said yes. He changed his tune quickly. Which is good... I have no interest in that car!

I was very dissapointed in the Millenia (NA and SC). Mazdafail on those. I felt it should have been much more powerful than my 98 auto 626.

I've witness a bunch of money runs. It's a regular thing where I'm from. It can be for $20 or $2000. The most I've ever witnessed someone win was $5000. At the time the car I was driving I bought for $500 and I was sixteen years old. From that point on, I was hooked. lol

we still do race every night for money lol last two days i flagged like 5 races most of which my crew one lol

i remember like 4 years ago i raced my STI againt this drug dealer with a mustang thought the thing was gonna scrape me... he said pop your hood i want to see this wrx, i said no its an STI he said yeah whatever i show him and he said "this thing aint even turbo" i laughed because of the stock top mount that even said "STI"... so i said bro you got me its not a STI its a stock 2.5rs he said ill race you for $100 i said ok everything said and done i take out $100 he gets scared so he says $50, i said it dont matter lets go... i destroyed him so bad by like 8 cars by the end of it and took his money and pride

Very much so. The supercharger on the S model was innovative, though. It was a Lysholm Screw design, which is more advanced (and more expensive) than the Roots style blowers used on most production cars (even Mercedes Benz doesn't use the Lysholm Screw type). It's a much more efficient supercharger. It actually compresses the air, much as a turbo does, rather than acting as "increased displacement", ans the Roots blowers do. The downfall is that they're very expensive to repair when they wear out, and they do wear out.

Then again, GM did the high power large FWD car thing with the Grand Prix GTP and GXP, Monte Carlo SS, and various Buick models... Honestly, a large supercharged engine in a FWD car is just too much! That whole concept is fail, IMO. That's why little 4 cylinder cars make the best FWD hotrods.
