I didnt bother looking at the sti, nor the stang.
I was in it for fun and to compare. Plus I knew from rumors/talk about the sti.
I knew what I was getting myself into. I didn't expect the result of the way this thread has gone, as I just figured it would turn out to be civil and people be accepting of new members, instead of shuning or well...talking...
Anyhoo, I didnt know about racecraft and saleen thing. I can honestly say I never knew this side of street/grudge racing at all. I am pretty much new to racing in general.
But from what I can tell from speaking to Randy/the people he was with, is hustle till the wheels fall off.
The owner of the racecraft said it was just a body kit/wheels. Im not stupid when it comes to cars, I know quite a bit I feel. I saw the saleen wheels, I dont think many non saleen car owners want saleen wheels, due to getting made fun of for not being OG.
So I asked if it was just like a Roulsh, stage 2 (non blower), he said yeah. I asked to check under the hood, he said maybe.....as in the gig is up. He opened it, and on top of the engine, "Powered by Saleen"
This story isnt to trash talk, but just to let you know....I didnt know this was normal to lie about what you have, it was quite amusing when you're talking to someone and you know they are trying to pull one over on you.
Anyhoo, I only had my car for a few hours when I raced. I think I did rather well, yes, I lost 3:4 races. I had reasons, but its ok, I did lose.
I will race anyone for free, and once I am used to my ride....maybe some money.
I was impressed how well I did.
For only doing 1 thing to my car and it giving 45-50% hp, I think its a worth while investment.
As for the weight, the g8's are pre-4k lbs, tad over for driver.
I have lost a lot of weight due to mufflers/res's being deleted, I am sure it was around 80lbs or so, not much but it helps.
But I guess thats it.
If anyone is interested in seeing my car or taking a ride in it. Just PM me, I am always up at SSS on Saturdays.
