Got pulled over today
A ticket can cost you. And so can your insurance when they find out. Nothing sounds and looks more stupid than squealing tires on the street. When I was young I thought squealing tires and going sideways was sooooooooo cool. I'm 42 now and trust me, nothing makes me think @$$hole more than some young punk spinning their tires on the street.
Now that we got that outta the way, here's what you do.... Build a stout engine. Stroker or whatever, and stuff in a big cam. You know it's right when you have a healthy "lope" at idle. When you pull up to someone at a light, they look over at you and have a look of fear in their eyes. Little kids will give you a big :thumbup:. Everyone will know that your car has A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E. It's one mean mutha of a ride. You WILL get noticed. All without spinning tires or getting a ticket. When you pull into the local hang out, you don't have to fly in at 100 mph. Just idle up nice and easy. That's been my experience with my Demon. Even a few Mopar guys asked if I had a big block under the hood. "Nope. Just a little old 340", I replied. I wish I had a sound clip to post.
That seems to be my observation as well.
I will just idle nice and slow while entering a car show or hangout and they will know the car is wicked without having to light the tires off.
The last car show I went to a guy came up to me after I parked and asked why I did not light the tires up.
I told him "Because I dodn't think the parents of all the little kids being pushed around in strollers would be too happy about me driving dangerously in a packed parking lot, and I don't think I would be invited back ever again.
After more excuses from him.
I also said I read the rules of the car show and it said (no burnouts whatsoever and drive safely into the lot as pedestrians are everywhere.)
He said "Aww, it's just for a second."
I told him that split second decisions can ultimately mean life or death in many cases."
Just my luck to be heckled by the only idiot at the car show, and he spent another 10 minutes asking me if I had it at the drag strip.
I should have just said yes and made up some lie about how fast because he almost got offended that I did not have my car at the drag strip yet beating the heck out of it, and spent the next 10 minutes ragging me about that.
I just wanted to grab him and shake him until he stopped breathing, but I just tried to be polite as possible without giving him any other excuse to run his mouth, but after a few more questions from him, he was able to tell me how fast my car would run with my combo.LOL.
I asked him what he drove to the car show, and he said he just came in his work truck.
Oh, and as far as getting on it around a bend, not smart especially with anything over 400 ponies.
