Well none of the new musclecar will be quite the same as the old, I will admit that. In old muscle when people go for a ride its fun because they are about to sh*t their pants everytime you nail that pedal and it slams them back into the seat with gobbs of torque. At school last year, in auto, we really didnt do much. Because it was Auto I it was really supposed to prepare us for going to the shop this year. Anyway, the ricers (about 5 in Auto I, predictably Asian although its not always Asians) think that they know everything and pay no attention. They dont know **** though, and got like Cs. I really didnt pay too much attention, but I wasnt arrogant and paid some attention to verything so that I knew I knew what was going to be on the tests (alot was safety) except when we got to engines. Then I paid zero attention, got a 110 on the test, and the best ricer managed a 55 and I know for fact he cheated. I think that explains it. Ricers really dont do any real work to their cars for making it faster. My two friends in Auto werent really into musclecars and arent the most car smart people but they are about average for 16 year olds, but by the end of the year, hearing me tell them about them, they both want pure American Musclecars. Anyway, in about the beginning of June, I was bored and after leaving the ricers alone all year, I came over to one with a distributor and asked them what it was. The best answer I got, im serious here too, was "Oh, its that thingy." Wow, I could have asked Kayla, a girl I know, and she could have given me the same answer and I once tried to explain to her where gas went and she was completely lost. Anyway, I then went over to them with a pipe and said "Here is a header for your V-Tec" and walked away. Now, maybe I was instigating, but I couldnt help it lol. So one walks over from the shop, they tell him im ragging on V-Tec, and hes like "Oh, youre gay if you like old cars." Yes clearly, having a real mans car makes someone gay. So then we get into a small argument type coversation, ricers against me, and I tell them that I can easily built a low 12 second Road Runner for under 11 grand if I dont paint it and that the engine will cost me about 4500 bucks. One ricer says "No you cant, my brother spent 8 K to build a 300 hp V'Tec for his Honda." My reply was "Its because youre brother is a retard who is trying to build power with a Virtually Torqueless Economy Car with 4 cylinders! The kid from Auto II tries to tell me his Civic has 190 hp because of his K&N intake kit and that it will run a 13.5 and he wants to race me. Oh boy, I can wait for this race, he has a high 15 or 16 second car and is going to be up against a 12 second Mopar thats just about to explode with torque. My passion for muscle is so great that even women that I know like musclecars, even though they know nothing about them. They see one and go "Hey, I liek that." Anyway, if you read my rambling, maybe you enjoyed it lol. Moral of the story is ricers know nothing.
