I've never played the game.... but many do
It a bullshitters game. Not for me.
In the 80's had a GTX I raced all the time, but an all stock show car, with stock air cleaner, iron manifolds, street tires, etc. 14.00's at sea level in cool air. Not a 10 second car but 14.0 on the street was fast back then.
I go to a street race spot, I see a GT 500 Shelby drive in. I had my hood open an talking to another guy when he comes up wanting to race me.
I asked what he's driving, let's go look at it. He is telling a BS story about his small block clone mustang WITH GT 500 stripes to be cool. Well I knew quite a bit about fords and Shelby's and I ask him to open the hood or we don't race. More bs about how it's hard to open, blah blah. I says I'll race you but I want to see what I'm racing. So he opens the hood and I point out how and why it's a dual quad 428! He couldn't believe I knew. LOL
We race and he blew the tires off like in the rain and I just drove away like he was standing still.
My friends say the crowd went wild.
