LOL They wish they had the fastest cars in the nation. If the best they can do is put up some tubbed Mustangs, they've got a LONG way to go before anyone in TX will even take them seriously.

Street racing is not cool, simply put.

I don't see the fascination with being able to say my car is faster than yours. It's usually the guy with more money that can have the fastest car.

Was out at breakfast and this guy asks me what I've done to my car ('03 Corvette Z06) and I saw where the conversation was headed. I said to him, "Just a few things but you're making the mistake of thinking I care about your car and what you think of mine. I don't buy things for you or anyone else..."

That's why I liked those drag race high school or whatever it was called on Speed network and other shows like it. They give the teams a car and X amount of money. This way one team doesn't start with a lambo an twin turbo's it and the other starts with a fox body nova and only has money to throw nos on it.

Not necessarily-when I was in college I bought an '86 Olds Cutlass with a tired 305 for $1000 and swapped in a 350 with a 4bbl out of a rolled truck, threw a home brew 2.5" H-pipe dual exhaust with glasspacks on it, and a cheap shift kit from Jegs. The car looked like a beat up old granny mobile but it hauled ass from a dead stop and was probably the most fun I've had for $2000.

For $2000 an 86 Cutlass with a 350 is going to get killed by a LOT of stuff.
