there really isnt any reason for a 16 second SHO to beat you......

fwd's spin way to easy, they suck at launching (that's why civics always have sucky 60 foot times).

Actually FWD is faster except they generrally dont make fast FWd cars. less spin better all way round.

Do you know anything about cars? There's this thing called weight transfer. When you take off, it shifts back. That's why rwd drag cars are the way to go.

wtf? how often do you drive your car in the snow? fwd car is crap for racing. I know a guy in the civic forum with 450+whp civic, and he is huge traction problem. And that car can take down a lot of cars. No ricer, truly built car. Even so that car isn't good for traction.

okay no offence tammy but stuff like this is why its so hard for girls to get respect in the car world. the for show was made to compete with the GTP and it ....didnt... the GTP trounced it the sho in the high 15s-16 as for out pontiaclow 15s with the GTP at its stock level breaking down about as far as 14.8. meaning... neither of them should be any kind of match for a LT1. so if you lost to a sho..... well we have two possiblitys your car is in rather bad shape cus its over a second slower than it should be. or possiblity two.....you cannot drive to save your life ... which is prehaps more pathetic by the fact you have a auto. addtionally your right powerful FWD cars dont spin.... they wheel hop my buddys coblat SS stage two does it in gangs...so while your wheels are slipping...gripping ...slipping then grippin again... his wheels are acctually off the ground not gripping at all... thusly nothing about your story really adds up at all.....
