    You have a V6 camaro/mustang and spend enough money to buy a V8 just to make people think it's a V8.
    You've ever swung in behind a car (at 50 mph) in an attempt to draft.
    When you lose you say "But your car has 4 more cylinders"
    when you lose you say "Imagine if Honda made an engine as big as yours, because my 4 cylindler has 100 HP/Liter!"
    You think you stand a chance against all Mustangs and Camaro's because they are heavy
    You have a Vin Diesel poster
    You buy a civic, add a cold air intake and cat back exhaust, add 200 lbs of stereo equipment and brag about how much faster it is than when it was stock.
    You try explaining why vtec is better than a turbo charger
    You have to let the passengers know when you're flooring it
    If you know you can't win, you dump the clutch at 8,000 RPM's and say you couldn't hook up, but at least you looked cool
    The only 2 exotic cars you can name are Supra and Skyline.
    You put slicks on your car and only agree to race in the rain, just so you have an excuse.
    If you tell the story of how your friend has such a fast car, he put a $10 bill on the dash, floored it, and you couldn't reach it on the dash because you were too pinned in your seat.
    When you claim to race a stock automatic cobra.
    When your cardomain site has a 'future mods' list.When you can shoot a grapefruit from your exhaust tip
    LED exhaust tips.
    When you have NOS seat covers.
    When you have competitve races with cars- that dont know they are racing.
    Put the car (automatic) in neutral on hills so that it rolls back like a manual and then go into drive when the light turns green.
    Form opinions on cars you know nothing about.
    Walmart is your #1 Auto Parts Supplier.
    when you scream VTAK out the window cause you think it makes the car faster.
    starting a poll about who would win in a race before you race

    What about if you can't outrun a 8,000 pound 4.0L V8 Land Rover in your highly modded race car?

    All I can say after looking down that list is, don't assume that just because your car is made in Canada, it's not rice. We have our share of those too.

    there's a couple that shouldn't count (pvc air filter stuff) the aftermarket tach depends on the car (sorry your stock gauges should be scraped if you are doing serious engine mods as you can guess better than they do)

    well i don't agree with all of them but most of them, like some of you have said " if you have major after market stuff done you should depend on a stock tach" but i ment that one in more of the way as when you just bought a 4 banger you don't go out and buy a monster tach to try to be cool and consider it as a mod.

    Yeah, that list covers most in the GP community on at least one or two items. I agree with a good deal of the list, though I refuse to use the "R" word.

    Should we really care how someone chooses to mod or customize their vehicle, and assign them an ethnic slur when we, the almighty judges determine it's not right?

    btw I have a stock tach, my car is an automatic, the PCM controls the shifting, I don't NEED a tach, much less and aftermarket one. If I want to know what my car is doing at a certain time under many parameters, thats what the HPTuners is for.
