i think they should settle like a real racer. spec race.

he haz xxxHP / xxx TQ
he haz xxx HP / xxx TQ

he haz 100yrs combined driving experience (includes mom and dad)
but he haz 15000yrs combined driving experience (includes all ancesters)

and just add the rest of the equation:

temperature + humidity +wind direction +psi +wat he ate
(doesn't matter if it make sense or not, just add it all together).

One last point for clarification, unnatural acts with farm animals can be discussed (assuming said acts are not conducted while in a truck being race do the street)?

Exactly. Then we'll know who the real winner is. So let's do this!

Provide your car spec, guys!

You left out two important specs:

1) speakers: with these twin babies pointed backward with a little George Clinton playing, I cut 3/10ths of a second off my quarter my time.

2) stickers: this one adds 122.07 hp to my Z:

Street racing has been a felony for quite sometime.
What you post these days is like signing a notary and can be used in court. Posting about street racing in forums can have serious legal repercussions for everyone.

This is probably futile at this point, but back on topic:
Yes. I think mods lock some threads when they shouldn't or lock them prematurely. But locks I don't agree with (or can't suss out their logic) don't happen very often. And when it does happen, it's usually threads like this and who cares if those get locked (or even deleted)? I see no harm in the thread regressing but, if the mods are checking all posts, it's just more trash for them to wade through.

As far as "hypotheticals" go, that's just disingenuous. If the mods want to play the game and look the other way, then go for it, but don't be surprised when your hypothetical turns out to be too thinly veiled to ignore and gets locked/deleted.

Back to our regularly scheduled programming ...

Front end, back end or both?

Sorry if this is off-topic, but I am a doctor. Regular anal inspection is important, as this thread proves.

Only if it was a horses ***, and not in a metaphorical sense.

We all agree the act is a major no-no, but it certainly isn't a felony everywhere.
