We all love our cars, but they are all VERY slow, relative to real sports cars. Unless your breaking 14 seconds in the 1/4 mile (STOCK), you don't even stand a chance against those cars. And the fact of the matter is that if we "beat" one of those cars, they probably weren't racing.
Unless you drive a REALLY fast car, you really don't have any right to bash anyone, since dozens of cars can tear you a new poop chute. It's like the "poorest" suburbanite on the block who's parents make only $100k a year, so he acts all hard and ghetto because he's so "ghetto" since he didn't get a bimmer for his birthday.
But even if your car is fast enough to bash others (giving you the right), you'd still be a punk for doing so. I'm sure you hate it when a Camaro SS owners laughs at you. . .
Those guys are happy and so are you. You're really not ALL that different. So long as nobody is endangering innocent people on the road (by driving like a jackass on packed or residential roads), it's all cool to me.

As for the Panamanian guy "Krazie",
I know it's pretty common in American "youth" culture to bash on "white" kids, but the stereo types should be put to rest on a message board. We don't need to see how ignorant you are. There are white people in Panama! Even it sounds to corny to be politically correct, you should refer to them as American Caucasian, or Anglo etc. Not white! Italians are white, the French are white, Scandanavians are white, Germans are white. The majority of Argentina is white. The USA is a melting pot, as well as South America, and many European countries....

Everyone's going to do whatever they can with the money they have. For some, it's buy clothes, go fishing with new gear.............for others it's buy car parts. And sorry to say it, but guys driving Mustangs, WS6s, Camaros...they are just as bad as the "ricers" everyone makes fun of. You see a decked out GT or Cobra come up next to you and you look over, a good bit of the time they will rev their engine and haul off just like a kid in a civic or eclipse would do.
The problem is that we always say ricers and people think we are directly talking about imports. Yes, the name generates from the Japanese makes of cars, but ever hear of the term "domestic rice?" It's just as bad with the domestic cars as with the foreign cars.
It all depends on the maturity level, age level, income level, and education of the driver. Anyone can buy a CAI, header, exhaust and say their car is fast. It's the ones with education and maturity that know what to look for in those parts and not just get them b/c the dynos on the website say you will gain this much hp.
The car scene as been cluttered with misinformed people (not all young "ricers"). The cars I have respect for are those driven by people who appreciate them for what they are and not b/c they have all the parts available on the market to change them.
I was out driving Saturday night and saw the best car out on the road amongst a crap load of others. Sure, civics, STIs, camaros, more tCs and other cars were out, but the best one out was driven by a guy that had to be well in his 60s. Hemi Cuda. Real muscle under that hood without even modding it out. He had a nice paint job, but drove it just to enjoy it. That's who I give respect to.

Yeah, let's not get the stereotypes involved. It will only bring stupidity to this forum. Everyone has their ideas of who's better and what not. KEEP THEM TO YOURSELF!

I asked him what he had, his answer, a supercharger, on a ZX3 svt focus... We were supposed to race tonite, but unfortunately , it got broken into last nite. I said "what did they steel, the engine". He said haha, no. I go "then what's the problem?"...
