Lol... I'm not even going to read it. I've read at least 1000 proud american muscle car owner "I BEAT AN IMPORT" stories to last 3 lifetimes. The false pride in beating cars with a half the cylinders and horsepower with a suspension kit and breathing mods in horrendously ridiculous,, stupid and hysterical at best.
If anything. Many of those wins happen by only a car length or two. My real impression would be something like this... WOW. I have a 500hp v8 and a 300hp 4banger stayed on my tail the whole time. He couldn't pass me but I'm impressed he could even hang with so much less power." That would be something I would say.
The beer can crushers always have the most amazing elaborate stories. "So he though his Z would beat my stang". He said he had a 300lb weight advantage with headers. He laughed at my stang like he was the king of race and drift like he couldn't be stopped.
Then I tied my confederate flag to the hood of the car and told that Z driver. Its world war 2 all over again buddy. In a heartbeat, as soon as the light went green. I raced down that track while that Z putted down the track like a 1962 vw bug. Man I hate rice. Anyway. I blew the doors off him and then some. YEEEEAAAAAAHHHH!!!! American muscle baayyyybeee. No rice here. Meat n potatoes man... just meat and potatoes." Then 100 other mustang and muscle car owners chime in with derogotory remarks about . Asians and communism and all sorts of tangents that have nothing to do with the love of the hobby. Lol. And the beat goes on.
