STi's and EVO's have 4 doors, and will beat you by a helluva lot more than 1/2 a car length.

The SVX sucks at stoplight racing. Just don't do it. Refuse to race, and everyone will just THINK it's fast. Don't race and let them find out how slow it is.... which... is relative. It's really the gearing. If you were to try to race that same car from a standing 65mph, I'm sure you'd smoke him.

That's Nothin...

Few months ago I got smoked by a minivan.. though i didnt
realize he was wanting to race. he was on the right side of
me and my friend in the passenger seat later mentioned he
kept whipping his neck to the left and staring at my car, then
looking back forward. Light turns green, he floors it, i feel
obligated to kick his teeth out, so i pass him after about 100 feet.
after i passed him, i slowed up a bit, and he passes me again..
so I pass him again and by then I'm at my street, so he goes bye-bye

I hate to be a prude, but who really cares? Personally I sellect what I drive based on how fun it is to drive, if I can out run someone else that's nice, and if I can't it dosn't matter. I drive what I drive for ME, not anyone else, make, model, color, ect all matter to me, but I don't care what anyone else thinks. I aproach each car with an open mind and sellect the unit that I think I will enjoy the most, then I drive the **** out of it This **** size comparison is just boring :yawn: ... A friend of mine is always telling me what car he beat today, or complaining about people who drive X type of car, unless it's XXX type I just don't care! let them lead their lives lead your own, the fact that their car is half a second faster or slower won't matter a bit blasting down a back country road on an autum afternoon!

OK, I fixed it, that spell checker would be nice for those of us who just can't...and it's not for lack of trying either!

lol I wasn't commenting on the spelling. But a spell checker would be a sweet add-in. I'm sure it's on the way w/ the new smilies.
