Life Conundrums vol. 1: Real Racing vs. Bench Racing


AWW$HEEET

Recommended Posts

Alright, so some of us are bench racers, some of us are real racers, and some are both. I contend that the bench racers are ultimately better off for a few reasons.

 

Cons of real racing:

1. Gas is expensive

2. Get sick of whatever you build

3. Shit breaks

4. Can wreck your dd into a wall at the track

5. Get to sell your car for 35 cents on the dollar when you are finished

 

Pros of bench racing:

1. Get to race against people with your hypothetical car

2. Your hypothetical car is 400lbs lighter, and has 400whp more than anyone else.

3. Don't have to actually wreck

4. Don't have to actually leave your home

5. Shit is never broken

6. Your cammed fbody runs 9's. Erbody mad. :gabe:

 

Anyone that disagrees with me, come at me. Bench racers for lyfe.

 

Merry Thanksgiving.

no, but paul did it right, bought a gto on the cheap with mods already done. everyone else is wrong.

 

And there we have it folks. Thanks for playing.

 

 

but srs though, I Bought a dirt cheap 04' 6spd gto around 7k mods in it for under 10k with a clear title and it runs like a raped silverback gorilla. The the car is flawless with nothing wrong with it visual or mechanical wise. :fuckyeah:

EDITED: Around 5k in mods without adding wheels/tires.

Feel bad for the fella who dropped all the money into it in the first place.

wheels/tires, suspension,drivetrain parts,all bolton-ons,etc.... Shit adds up quick. Of courst I just threw out 10k. But just to get a jist of it. those 19's n tires on it were prolly around 2k, that 1pc aluminum driveshaft was 1200, etc... Don't really feel like adding up every part on it but i'm sure it isn't too far off from 10k. Theres more on the car then just a cam.

 

I mean we all cant be ballers like you and drop $60k on a new audi S4 and sandbag the shit out of it calling it a "economy family sedan" when it runs 13.2/quarter stock and 4sec. 60's

It's engine is smaller than the V6 Accord or Camry, I was just as shocked as you!

Bench racing is like cyber sex and fapping, it will never be as good as the real thing, and you are forever alone.

 

 

I will take the real thing anyday of the week.
