my jeep is my first car , im glad it is too i got it when i was 15 yrs old and im 17 now, Cherokee's are so fun they got plenty of power for what they are, im all the time looking for something to do to my jeep, right now im working on a cold air intake, trying to decide which is best
Umm...I'd sure like to see a Focus with 170hp. Mine has 117 stock and even with a supercharger they are hard to get up to 170hp.
Oh, and my Focus is slow as ****. My jeep with 33's can beat my focus.

ive had 3 good races before, all with ppl i know can drive well.
1st my jeep (3.5 lift with 31s) vs stock 79 f150 (manual) and although semi close, he clearly won, (probably 4 car lengths on 2 mile paved road)
2nd, dirt road, my jeep vs bone stock pt cruiser, (ha was a dumb ***, thought he stood a chance, but he does have experience) 7 mile road, i hit the top before he hit mile 3.
3rd, my moms 01 suby outback vs same f150 from 1st race, 15 miles on bonneville salt flats, he didnt stand a chance. i went down and back, met him half way back. (i love my moms suby, ive done some nice 4wheeling with it too)

I think the funniest part was, he was the one sitting at the light dropping it in neutral and revving it. I love me a 'Stang, but when your car is so weak that you need to race Jeeps off the line, I start to feel bad for the car.

Some idiot in a Corvette tried to race me on a road that turned into a one-lane. Funny part is- we ended up stuck behind someone who was going 15, speed limit there is 50... so I went around through the grass, and the little vette had to stay behind, unable to handle the slightly bumpy terrain on the side of the road. Wish I could have seen his face. Why would you drive a Corvette and try to race a Jeep with a big hunk of steel on it's nose and A/T tires?! Oh, and no, I wasn't trying to race against him, I was just driving normally and didn't want to keep going 15 in a 50.

One time I was on the main 3lane after school and my buddy pulled up in his pos taurus with a destroyed cat. and shot rear struts and started revving it up, well I joined in with a little growl. The full size garbage truck next to me thought he would scare the crap out of us and floor his diesel... Light turned green, we all hit it and I was 100 yards past the lights and they were halfway throught the intersection

The only car I raced, was a brand new Mitsubishi Lancer. (OZ rally I think) Car looked @ me, revved his engine, so I was like, OK why not. Light turned green and by the time I was at the other light I had 2 car lengths on him. It was standard too. I'm not a fan of street racing so I haven't done it since and won't.
Keep it to the track!!
