Stickers dont add horsepower?
Im sittin at a light with my brother in my 1993 Camaro Z28 when a little toyota MR-2 spyder pulls up next to me. The kid has a body kit, exhaust, interior work, and a bunch of stickers. My car original in about every aspect except for the flowmaster exhaust. He start revin his little engine. so i decide to amuse him and rev up my american muscle. Before i go any farther though...it had been raining all day...rear-wheel drive...hp...??? The light turns green and he takes off so do i but my back tires are screaming on the wet road. i let off the gas a little to get them to catch when they do i take off...within seconds im flying by him doin about 55...the funny part though is as im passing him im at about a 45 degree angle so i get the car strait and take off and at about 85-90 i look in my rear-view and see he has given up so i slow down...and like a dog with a tail tucked between his legs he stayed back. In my camaro thats about the most interesting race...no one wants to race me...besides the Ford f-150 that i smoked but thats another story.

i usually dont play around when its wet out, but thats because i had a bad situation about a year and a half ago with an 18 wheeler [:@]. nice kill, the more riced out they are the better it feels some times

Ha! I had a nerdie looking guy in a Miata rev and take off on me at a light. I thought it was funnier than hell! I just let him go and enjoy his victory over the mighty Camaro. I feel your pain about no one wanting to race. I'm in my Toyo truck and I see GT Stangs and turboed SRT and so forth but when I drive the Maro none of these guys are around.

I beg to differ... stickers do add HP....on some cars.

No, most people don't realize that the amount of stickers you add to your car and the amount of HP you get from them isn't a linear relationship. The smaller the displacement the motor is in your car, the better HP gain you get from ricer mods. When you're above 5.0L I don't think you get hardly any HP for your ricer mods...but with a 1.0L motor, watch out, the HP is insane!

Yup, Im going to put a few stickers on the vette, that should give me like 900HP, if I paint it red, ill be over 1000 im sure... ALthough I better not state that as a fact, importmd may want to PROVE me WRONG...[sm=pcwhack.gif]

Thats funny there... Yep 95slvr is right, anything above a 5.0 lacks hp points.... So I put a few on and then keep a case of them in the trunk[sm=happy046.gif]
