i personally have never driven on a real track. but i dont need a track i practically have a rally course outside my front door. i have plenty of fun with a car that just handles well, but thats my thing. sure i like speed and acceleration too but i much prefer to be in a corner. like u said there isnt alot of room for error and u have to be very careful of other ppl.


there are things u can do to make it much safer though. for one i dont drive to fast during the day when more ppl are out, and i always stay in my lane in blind corners. during the day there are big vehicles like tractors or big trucks with massive boats and so on. at night its a diff game, there are much fewer ppl out and u can see headlights reflecting off any number of things from around a blind corner. once u have seen an oncoming car in every blind corner u know what to look for next time u come to that corner and if there is no light u can take up the whole corner.

as for drag cars costing more than a track car it is all relevant to the car and class u are racing and cant be definitive either way.

there is a track in Ft worth about 2 hours from me, im gonna go there one of these days ant take a class it cost like $300 with car rental. i could use my car but its a DD i dont want to completely thrash my tires and brakes.

3 seconds in a 1/4 mile is a fucking HUGE difference

no your ftw piece of shit will certainly not

depends on the track. his car handles better, if their are lots of turns he could beat a stock trans am. just cuz a car has more power or faster acceleration doesnt always make them an automatic winner on a track there are many many more variables involved that there are in drag racing.

I know how track races work...

and since when did Akuuz drive a Trans Am?

Did you only read that?

Did you read what I wrote before that? Im comparing the enginge to engine not fucking time/distance u moron. Comprehend what im saying before you open your mouth the next time.

For what he has in his car compared to what I have 3 secs is NOT that bad. COMPARING my enginge is alot smaller and also producing stock less WHP than his ponitac with mods.

Get where im comming from moron? Obviously in an actually race with car of similiar performace, enginge, mods etc 3 secs is a huge difference.

lol umad?

with minor suspension upgrades his trans am will walk your civic on a road course track.

i thought the comparison was to fmx's car, either way they are pretty close to the same stock. id say the GTO handles a bit better than a trans am. id still say his civic could beat a GTO around some tracks or twisty pass's or whatever.

cars that are lighter and handle better have the advantage over cars that have more power alot of times on really twisty tracks/roads.

Then its not stock vs stock (:
