Drag Vs Rally
#1
So A guy on FF was bashing my Car calling it super weak because I built it for drag racing. So I checked out his car and its basically stock so I started bashing him. So Here is a little bit of entertainment for you guys all on the gallery section. Feel free to leave you own coments.

I'd have to agree with him on some of his points. I like drag racing, dont get me wrong, but its no where near Autocross and lapping days....not at all.

Love his subaru comments though, that made me laugh. My ex focus could outrun a turbo subaru, not his!

even then, put him in the snow, and watch him get owned. :lol:

some people are so ignorant, and simple minded
I mean, i dont really even like drag, but i'll back you up against an ass hat like that.

im sure if he built a drag car, it would suck hard, and you built a "canyon car" you would leave him in the dust.

thanks for the laugh by posting the galleries

If he's racing at night I guess the lights make sense ... but is Canyon racing a sanctioned thing, or is he talking essentially about street racing?

When I hear Canyon Racing I think Drifters but thats just Me and Im pretty sure its not sanctioned, As for his arguments flo I know there is a few people that agree with him he makes like 2 decent points. But its just the way he started it that I thought I would bash him and they way he thinks his car is so amazing just kills me. We all know a non boosted Foci cannot compete with a WRX or STI I think the only guy that has a shot at that is EGZ with his 200whp natural duratec.

Hmmm ... well first of all street racing = epic fail IMO (someone should call him out on that) ... and secondly, I'm not sure I get it ... is this like fender to fender racing or is it a timed thing.

I must admit the idea of racing on a course like Mosport has much more appeal to me than drag racing (I prefer to watch --- LOL drag racing, that is) ... but if Canyon racing doesn't include taking corners at 100mph with a BMW 20 ft behind (and sometimes 20 ft in front!) , I think I'd find it a bit tame.

how old is this guy? to me its sounds like a 16yr that just got his licence and he thinks he is a rally car driver.

I was like that with my dodge colt when i just got my licence too :D until i tried doing a rally trun on my street and ended up taken two wheels out by hitting the curb. That was the end of my rally days :)

Drag Racing and Rally Racing are two completely different animals.Whichever makes the owner happy is good, just make sure you have the horses to do it up right. ( which, our Canadian Drag Racer has ) :D
Besides, the "rally" guys extra lights look dumb.

^^ Fast cars don't always go straight. theres a lot to be said about pedaling a monster down the track, setting up susp. nitrous jets and timing for getting out of the hole, weather conditions.

Don't get me wrong road racing is cool, but there is a lot more to drag racing then just going 1320'
