The people who compare it to a minivan on one metric (typically 0-60), and then conclude that "since the 86 is slower than/comparable to a minivan in 0-60 times, therefore it is garbage" just don't get it. My analogy is the guy who says Japanese cuisine sucks, because he can get stuffed with a burger and fries for less money. You could try to explain it to him (and it is almost invariably a "him") but it's like drag racing a minivan: futile. Nah, I used the zero to 60 site Tcoat linked - just to keep it apples-to-apples(ish)... |

If the mods see fit to remove my post or ban me, that's their prerogative. And I did violate the rules, so I can understand. But the way you, Clipdat, and FRSBRZGT86FAN have responded to my post is one of the most holier-than-thou, white-knighty, goody-goody two shoes type of things I've ever seen. |

If someone wants to grab a lane then I'm game. Clearly you have to watch your surroundings and what road or street you are blasting down. It's a judgement call.. just like owning a gun, or choosing to hit your kids or not, Which political agenda your with etc etc
Example if you want to mess around with your car, do it at 12am-4am with no one around instead of evening traffic. Some truth in this though.. A lot of people have never gone WOT with a car for 4 gears flat out. Sometimes that one instant they do, they aren't use to the car behavior, speed or maybe the dam road they are on and it's too late. They weren't "expecting that"... Track or street you learn fast and if you don't it's already too late. Racing is like this.. you either have guys that do it almost every time the car comes out or almost never. This will never change with car guys.. some street race and some don't and you are either are into in some type of way or not at all. Some of you make it seem like if you lay a pass on the street you are a serial killer Jesus.. More deaths come in many other ways including a hell of a lot more drunk drivers then racing. If you don't want to hear about racing stories then keep your up tight self out of the dam thread. Funny, I see so many folks letting friends leave a house with 2-4 drinks in them but if you mention some street racing all hell breaks loose lol.. Like mentioned previously at some point almost 99% of every car guy has let it loose more then once. I'm not saying it's the right thing to do by any means.. It happens and you can be apart of it or separate your self entirely. Christmas tree, street light or 3 honks and it's on like donkey Kong .02 |

Love the mentality that if you don't like it then ignore it. I repeat that letting it loose is not the same as racing. Racing on the street is the subject not having fun with your car. You wantta race hit the track and don't risk the lives of others. Is this such a difficult concept for some minds to grasp?
