THat guy can cry all he wants. There was no way he would have taken you. Most the S2k guys dont know that most aftermarket bolt ons hurt their car more than anything. They think their cars are more than they really are, so excuses are going to fly when they get beat by an econobox.

Yeah, it's called a track... but anyways...


Looks like fun. I had a blast racing my auto box and it was the slowest thing on the track that day. It was fun to see the looks on the other drivers faces when I stayed in the Bracket racing to take 3rd. Wish I had the money for a turbo, that would be a blast times 10. Of course, I'd spend the money on a sunroof first, but then I'd start saving again...

The car came here and dynoed 329whp and its the fastest TC that I have been in. Not quite sure what you are trying to imply with your comment. This week I drove an elise turbo, civic with k24 turbo, m12gto 3r so i wouldnt say i dont get out much.

I was just teasing you bro. Just merely saying that the fastest tC's are not powered by a Tnetics kit. Yeah, I know, you were saying the fastest tC that "YOU" have been in.

Just pullin your leg that's all.

Default Not to smart

You post a video of Street racing to promote your product not very professional and illegal also very dangerous. Nice way to set an example. Just go to the track or build your own r&d race track. I would never buy a product from a company that uses illegal street racing video to promote it's product.

I'm not a fan of the street racing promotion much either, but I love the products and they do run a majority of their products on the track every weekend... The xB vs. tC video was taken on their own street, which was closed for the run... Which isn't as bad... but would still definately like to see more heads up, light tree runs with pics of 1/4 mile times and speeds.

Iam sorry but that looks like a public street not private property, It looks like there are other companies located on that street. I did not see a gate or a road closed sign or a guard posted. It's still dumb and dangerous no matter how you try to defend it.

I just said is wasn't "As" bad as running on an open freeway or publilc road with innocent cars on it... didn't say it was good either... I call myself the reasonable ZPI supporter... not blindly, as I don't feel for all the street racing, but can't discount the product quality or end performance for my use on a track...

It's their road, and they had it shut off from local business traffic... I agree that it's much more dangerous and would much more love to see that same vid in track conditions...

But, at least debating street racing shows that there isn't much debate on how good the product is, or what the product can do, which is hard to match anywhere else for the xB platform

You are right...Street racing is dumb weaving in and out of traffic is dumb....kids get killed daily I am sure because the car and traffic superseeds their ability to drive an automobile. You are 100% right...

For some adults to race a car on a dead end industrial park road in the middle of nowhere KY where there are people standing on one end to insure no traffic is yes dumb but a lot closer to a track than racing through traffic.

At the end of the day do not kid yourself. We build parts to make street cars go fast. When that guy pulls up next to your turbo box in a mustang with a monster mullet and thinks he is the fastest thing on the street I know you are going to check his attitude quicker than a paris hilton download.

So while agree racing in dumb situations kill innocent people due to lack of responsibility I do not pretend that when presented with the situation that I will not exploit the weakness of the mullet master himself..
