91 GS VS Sunfire
Hehe well tonight after hanging out with some frends we went to our local race strip because they had the idea to race for fun, so we went out there, set it up, the lights dropped to green and we took off. I got the launch advantage, and had a half car through first, and after second it was all over. I think i won by around 4 cars actually. It was bad. had fun tho,  i didnt really know what to expect, I thought the GS models were kinda slow but I guess Sunfires are pretty slow too.

You have a point but um did you read what cars where doing the racing? Think of the crowds they drew. The amount of corn, eh I mean cash wagered on the race.

Which track? Eddyville 1/8th mile or Mid-America Motorplex 1/8th mile? I assumed street racing since it is February 24th, not exactly a prime time for actual dragstrips to be in operation. My apologies.

its not really an actuall track, but its not a road either,.. well not a public one, its on some farm land out in the country that my friend owns. we go out there to get away from populated roads, and no one watched but from behind the starting line. he fashioned a light tree for it too, its pretty cool actually, but not really long. so in essence, hehe, our own little track.

Re: 91 GS VS Sunfire
probably better traction, especially if it isn't paved.

Re: 91 GS VS Sunfire
Probably better traction? It would have better traction even if I had snow and cow shit spread all over it.
