Yeah, I was racein in the cross F*** injection again. My buddy jesse at work comes up to me and goes "Allright Ben....your 84 vette VS my 84 RX-7....lets see whos king of 84...just got a new exhaust and tires, and I'm gonna burn on your domey ass!!" I of course, have tell him that it IS an 84 and that I'll probably lose. But anyways, here it goes! -
84 vette VS 84 RX-7 First, was from a stop. Neither one of us had a working horn (my fuse burnt out honking at this stupid SUV to move and his had been ripped out) so on his 3rd rev we hammered it. He got me off the line, but I pulled on him top-end. YAAAAAAY!!! ^_^ Then we went from a 50MPH roll, he pulled a car length on me, then I just started pullin on him. At the next light, we both got out to shake hands. "Fine automobile you've got there....I'm gonna run home with my tail between my legs. Damn good race, Ben!" And we shaked hands and went our separate ways. ::PLEASE NOTE:: Allmost all races are preformed in an abandoned parkway that stretches 1/2 a mile long. Just gotta watch out for squirrels/raccoons/critters. We usually do NOT race on the open road...too dangerous. But now....the moment youve been waiting for...88 GT!!!!! ^_^
84 Vette VS 88 GT
This happend on the street en route to home. Yeah....he pulls up and goes "Sweet vette....what year?" I go "1984..." He and his blonde bimbo GF start laughing. I got angry and yelled "Hey, shut up!!! Leave me alone! WHAT YEAR IS YOUR FIERO?!" "88 GT" he goes... Then he goes "Feelin pretty lucky tonight? Full moon out, so anything can happen..." I thought in my head "I'm gonna die! gonna die, gonna die, gonna die" X__X and then I said "Sure! on green!" We both exchanged revs, then GREEN! ..............................................I didn't even have time to pee my pants....he tore off like a bat outta hell...literally. He had 10 cars on me in the time it took for me to clear 1st gear! Beautiful....a loss, but sweet loss....VICTORY MEAL TIME!!! ::ORDERS CHINESE:: mmmmmmmmmmm....pepper steak with chinese doughnuts....^__^ -Ben

yeah....maybe he even had a 3800 SC motor....but from the deep sound, I'd guess SBC. But who knows...all I know is, when he floored it...::STICKS HEAD OUT OF WINDOW:: oh my gosh, would you look at that!!!!! X__X (BETTER?!?!?!?) pretty wild ride he had there....

I found some 1/4 mile times for them, the fastest on I saw had 1.9 60' and was in the 14.5 range. It had been modified. This site has the car running a 15.1
Banditbalz runs a 15.2 with 140K on the motor. Also you assume that Homie whatever can drive that vette as well as the people that do this thing for a living for magazines. Next thing to consider is how well his daddys car runs.

Well why we are on that subject, I would also like you to not say these kind of things. I am glad I am not the only one who thinks this kind of stuff is inapropriate. I was going to address the issue in this thread, note I have an edited post. Also why you are using more appropriate language, stop with the line symbols too.
EDIT ---- Wow I sound like a major sissy. Pretty much nothing offends me, if someone uses foul language in appropriate company no biggie, I have even done it myself. On the internet however, I think there are alot of instances where it should not be found, this forum being one of them. That is the word and any iteration of it. For example you using the letter "u" to stretch the word. Also using different letters as a substitute. Examples are not necassary you figure it out.

Actually, I think the "balls" would be that he stood up to say something. He did not use profanity to do so either. This being a public forum, it is up to the occupents to decide what is deemed acceptable and what is not. I frequent other forums and cursing is allowed, they dont spell it diferent or anything. This is 99% teenage forum and it shows. Someone once posted about the cars that we had, and I told them I had a Fiero, 2 pages of defending myself and the car without profanity and one of the mods came on and apologized how the forum was acting towards someone else. Also he comented that I was nice even though abolut 25 people where using low blows to try and dog the Fiero. I pointed them to this forum, for some additional information, they all comented about how civilized it is compared to that forum. My point being, if we start finding that acceptable, then eventually other things will become acceptable also. It will be "F" this and "F" that all over the place.
I admit Homie whatever is an a** clown, but whining about his language is lame, especially coming from people with checkered pasts and criminal records. This family forum stuff is getting ridiculous.

The 84 vettes were dogs because of that cross fire injection crap. Also I think the emissions slowed them up.
edit: and remember many 80s cars were products of the gas crisis, like the 84 model Fiero. Remember it was passed through the GM brass as an econo-car first, sports car second. In other words it was doomed from the get go.

you post nazi's need to back the hell off. good grief! if cliff agreed with you guys he would be in here telling the guy to knock it off.
i dont personally like his choice of language in this thread, but its his thread and his choice. if you dont like it, then dont read it. and if you dont want your "family" to read it, then tell them to steer clear of this thread. argh! its people like you who sent the government television censorship back 50 years just because Janet Jackson flashed her nasty floppy tit at the super bowl.
if your opinions about his language mattered i think you would be moderators, you aren't. and nowhere in this forum do i see anything about it being preserved as a "family" site. thats a bit discriminatory against those who have no families. [/end rant]
...................wow. I started a holy war with one word. I'm sorry guys (and girls, and everything in between). If my language is inappropriate, then I will cease to post here. "Then, I shall also sell my Fiero and never buy a pontiac again. I will go to church every day that its open and become a youth pastor. I will launch protests out against video games, TV, music, guns, and any other such sinning actions. Then, I will go to the vatican and personally give the pope a sponge bath. I will lead crusades against those who swear and have them burned at the stake. To top it off, I'll marry my super model wife while driveing my lamborghini drinking my favorite type of root beer." Everything quotation, please ignore....just me bein silly. But really, if my posts offend/dement/torment anyone, then I just won't post anymore..... -Ben

Funny. But you don't need to stop posting altogether. Just lay off the profanity, please. If you are unable to post without cursing, then perhaps you should stop posting.

Even though i agree that language shouldn't be in this forum I think people are taking it a wee bit to seriously and only drawing attenion to it, a simple PM request to edit might have worked..
Anywho, good kill on the rex, good death from the fiero
That has to be the 1st time I have ever heard of someone laughing at someone else for driving a corvette.. especialy while sitting in a fiero.. o_O

Thats a start, now you have to apologize to all the nuns and small kittens that could have read this.
Seriously I have no problam with bad language, but to me a forum is like this: If you were at a church, work, people you have never met, school with your teacher, a potential customer or employer would you yell the "F" word? I wouldnt, for the simple reason all conections in life are made through networking. I got my first job because of someone my mother knew. If I had made a bad first impression with these people would I have got that job. Probably not. You are on a forum that is public, meaning anyone can read it at anytime. Is it really good taste to talk about sexual acts. Saying something on here is the same as yelling it to everyone of those people that I listed, since they could all read it.

Okay...my 2nd attempt at saying sorry. Sorry to all the boxes full of nuns and busses full of kittens. I didn't mean to sound like a neonate/*** clown/cheese d***/troll. I was just trying to convey the fact that I was blown away by everyones fav. mid-engine sports car useing a.... 'colorful word' if you will. But, if it was that bad, I am sorry and apologize to anyone/everyone I've offended. Tickets are being sold now at 2 dollars a piece to come beat the living snot out of me. For 5 dollars more, you get to watch a nun and a kitten throw me off of a building while I'm inside a box. There....everyone happy? good...then no more hate mail....

You where street racing wich is a MAJOR traffic law violation and you might have indangered yours and other peoples lives but yet people are asking you to appologise over a few words that are somehow offencive to others and deemed inappropriate language... not trying to harp on anyone, I just thought that was kinda funny.

with the current state of the internet AND TV/RADIO, I assume people have to grow someone of a "thicker skin" towards this stuff.. seriously. Advertisements use these words all the time, and I dont see people getting in trouble because a banner add says "breast" or "**** ". I believe the bar has been raised, and until you reach that level, everything is OK.
if the 84 vette was such a dog, wouldnt our cars have been cancelled back then too?
Telefragging is when someone is standing on a "teleporter" and someone beams to that spot. It can be quake1/2/3, half life, counterstrike, any of those games

LOL, What colour was this fiero anyways, I wanna figure out who it is...... Cuz, I was in Elkart a while back by the menards with my 3800sc fiero.... lol!
It was black, loud, and scary lookin. It was an older gent with a blonde 1/2 his age at his side. Couldn't fully make out any distinguishing features on the car/ the couple, but it was night so yeah. "The Blood Moon" as they call it was out in bloom, so yeah....someone was gonna die....obviously, me since I had the slower car! :P
Yeah....I apologize for the street racing as well, especially since it IS illegal for one, and two its not a Fiero Of course, If I went and posted on the vette forums, they'd laugh their A**** Off when they see my posts (See how I put that so nicely and made it child - friendly? So...no is EVERYONE HAPPY?!?!?! Good....I always try to please, but it looks like I've failed miserably with this thread. But thanks to those who looked past all the controversy and saw what the thread was really about. And to the others, I'm sorry and I'll try my best not to offend you in the future. -Ben

Yes, your right! Not so much Half-Life, but I was telefragged constantly in Unreal Tournament. Every 5 seconds in this huge deathmatch me and 18 of my friends were in. At the time, my "Alternate Ghetto Ego" as I called it was named "Homie T." But, I couldn't think of anything for the T to stand for. Then, after that match, my friend jared goes "Hey! You should just call yourself "Homie Telefragged" after that whole match!" So....that, is how my name came into being.

No, because in 1984 all Fieros were dogs too, since they came only with a 4cyl, that packed a 92hp punch. The later year vettes were more powerfull do to the lack of Cross-fire injection.
Also, I would consider ass acceptable word. Ass, hell, damn I see as being ok. Since all are used in the bible, not that this book is the standard, and considered ok in modern language and writing.

Alright, I'm not the only geek that spends every waking hour either at work or playing Unreal Tournament 2004! Makes me feel better. About the race, congratulations on seeing the exact reason the Fiero was cancelled. Hmmm, would you pay $30,000 for a new '85 Vette or $15,000 for a new '85 Fiero GT that'll more than hang with it?

Just because we are not face to face, doesn't make this unreal. I speak here as if I am face to face with the people I am talking to. It helps me decide who I would like to meet and who I would not. I save my foul language for when I want to stress a important point.

my dad must have a completely different motor then! hes got a 350 out of a 84 vette with crossfire and an auto and most if not all the emmisions are removed in his 83 T/A it will tear up a WRX once it gets traction. ill take a picture of it when my dad gets home. that car is a BEAST.
and shut up about "bad language". it turned this from a "i raced this" thread to a "i dont like those words" thread.
