There is a professional league for drag, road course, hell even cars that drive sideways but not one for the cars that are only fast from a roll. You ever wonder why that is? If your car is making 1k hp but you run 11s at the track because you can't get traction till 100+mph then there is no point but to be the fastest speeder on the hwy. If you like going fast in a straight line cool, but be fast from all speeds not just a roll race. Like it was said it's all opinion I guess it just sounds like your trying to sound like your better than everyone because nothing is fast unless you make more hp than is 99.9% of all cars on the road.

First, I don't see how you are saying I'm better than anyone, I'm not. I didn't say that. I said my car was slow, that is MY opinion. I've been exposed to a lot of these fast cars and driving/riding in several of them. I like all kinds of racing, not just drag racing or turns, going fast in a high powered roll car is a BLAST and like nothing you've ever experienced, I can promise you that.

There are many roll racing events now and more catching on like wildfire every year. Like the Texas Mile, or Texas Invitational, or long canyon type racing like the Silver State Classic...all LEGAL events.

As far as useless at the track -not true at all. Will's Supra will pull over 230mph and runs well into the 8's and he's still rowing gears. Put an auto in it and its easy 7's all day.

Back in the day, maybe the 11's @ 140mph might have been somewhat true, but that's not the case anymore with tech and parts available.

Drive my Colorado, that is slow, my wifes edge that is slow. But I'm sorry anything with 400hp is fast. Is it the fastest, by no means it is but when you are faster than 90% of cars on the road then you are fast. The shit yall talk about and claim are the only fast cars are considered retarded fast. So quit with the high and mighty nothing is fast bull

u are used to driving a police car... 400 hp in a near 4000 lb weight is slow man.

Its what you get used to.

I think it was Kelly and Alex... Foof was making 500 something then, how do I know, cause we ran the same night and I held him off in my Cobra cause he had Jared in his car slowing him down... if he was making 700 anything back then he would have disappeared.

Steve has a good point though, everything else he posted was truth except C teamers making 1000 rw... C is more like 500-800ish. depending on weight of car.

03MachMe 07-17-2013 08:06 PM

You are both missing the point. You comment on every thread that unless it has some retarded amount of power it is slow. That makes you sound cocky. I know my patrol car is slow in a straight line but the majority of us can drive better on the street with traffic and turns because we are trained to do so, that's why you see cars with a lot more power having a hard time avoiding the police unless it's a bike or on a long stretch of hwy. I agree it's what your used to but to tell every one else their car is not fast because it only makes 600hp is retarded

Ok, well it's just a difference in opinion. I don't see how that makes me cocky, but okay. I don't get why some are so sensitive to this subject. My car is slow, I'm not hurt by it. It is what is. Even with boost making 600rw, you will never hear me say the car is fast, because it wont be compared to what else is out there to competitive with. That's just being realistic, not cocky. I don't see how I can be cocky on the losing side of the equation. Now, if I had a 1000rw car and came in here telling everyone they were slow, that would be completely different and very cocky.

I think Fast is relative.. IMO compared to 99% of the populace running around in 150 hp civics.. a 400 hp mustang is a monster..

but when you are in a group where 1000 hp barely makes the cut it's slow..

Ultimatly.. 200 hp.. or 1000 hp.. As long as you are happy with your car does it really matter what anyone else thinks?

My Father in Law is a retired Beaumont police officer who was an instructor at the Houston Persuit driving school..
The patrol cars are setup to stay close to people in traffic and around bussy streets. That being said the average idiot running from the cops is in a 98 civic or 95 caprice, so it's a lot easier to keep up..

IMO a 1000 hp Car would not be able to evade in a situation where heavy traffic was involved or doing stupid shit through a neighbor hood. it doesn't matter how much HP you have if you cant go anywhere..

that being said.. I don't think anyone here Evades police.. :)
