Killed an XR5 in my ZTEC on FWY can definately say the win is attributed to the installation of King springs-super low, really just bit in and smoked that guy

Are you sure the XR5 was racing you? No having a go at you but I find it hard to believe your 107kW would smoke an XR5 with 166kW, King spring or no.

I think someone has been reading the lowering springs thread re King SL's v Eibach, and thought it might be fun to stir the pot a bit more.... I would hope it was a joke anyway, otherwise someone needs a serious reality check.

You see what happens is the the vinyl from the stripes adds a much more smoother surface which reduces drag and wind resistance allowing my car to accellerate at a faster rate.... So in fact "go faster stripes" are better than red paint. Also note that Holden promote their cars in red which pretty much guarantees the fact that red cars go slower.

Novel idea there... leather adds say 100cp, equates to about 180hp?

ive seen a zetec beat an XR5 was easily....
the only difference is that the zetec beat the XR5 to the pole and bounced first! thats the only thing HIGHWAY drag racing will accomplish, either that or u where playing way too much Forza....
