    Although at the same token, I've met some real "winners" that are managers at AZ(almost all the guys at my AZ are actually pretty good which is rare I know). Maybe this guy just bought a car that he just "thinks" is fast. Or he just "thinks" your car is slow. It's funny to me how many guys I've seen posting 1/4 timeslips and I'm thinking, "why would you verify that your car is slow". I currently wouldn't show my time slip to any ol' person I met on the street. Hoping to change that soon, but my car isn't fast.

    Yeah that's what I'm thinking it seems fishy but I can always do a hood up look first and if I see any mods just tell him 50
    But I really think he thinks my car just sucks and slow lmao

    I am the only one that thinks the idea of a 100 dollar race between a grand prix and a supposed stock eclipse is silly?

    You can own decently awesome cars on a 50k budget, but you still live in a trailer.

    I am wondering the same. I have run into many people over the years that think their car is fast because its a sports car, it feels / sounds much faster than their old car, they assume your car is slow because it is an "X", etc. I would verify before the race that it is stock and go for it.

    I think a GT would give a stock GSX a run for its money, stock its only a high 14 second car.
