Although I have many friends that have riced out their civics and other cars (which I have absolutely no problem with), they usualy don't like my kind of car because they think that they can hang with a "Mustang" till I show up wink laugh Anyway, I think I would catch too much hell if I went there... no, I am kidding, but I wouldn't mind going out there one day just to see what it's like... they still going to meet up at Murray's this year?
WA2FAST - Why don't you come to Redline meet (I am an actual member) before you pass judgment, or speculate. The "they usualy don't like my kind of car because they think that they can hang with a "Mustang" till I show up wink " comment is rather presumptuous. Do you mean on a road course, a drag strip, a car show, at a Woodward stoplight, or any combination of the above? From your home page I'll assume (shame on me) you mean only the drag strip. As we're almost neighbors, I'd be happy to roll down to Murrays with you and introduce you to the group. You'll find 95% to be open minded CAR (as in anything with wheels and an internal combustiion engine)entusiasts/fanatics; some into Show, some into Go, some into both, and some just like to hang out and BS about cars. What I can assure you is a less than warm reception if you show up in a Mustang (remember, you're in Metro Detroit, people who think they have a Bad Stang are everywhere; people with truley capable cars are a dime a dozen, even cars with mods costing more than the car is worth, which appears to be your case) with a bad attitude and use terms like "rice" in a derogatory manner. I won't list them here, but some of the fastest cars, in any catagory, on the planet are of "riced" out Asian manufacture. Also, just out of curiosity, at age 22, how do you afford the mods and insurance on your Mustang.
