Would this really happen?

So I was playing a video game and I raced a Ford Tempo. He beat me!!! Would this really happen in real life? How fast are Tempo's? I mean, what if we both had the same amount of gas in our tanks and we were both decent drivers, but he had a better shift knob? I dunno....help me guys!...lol. When will the madness stop!?

I was playing a game where I drove a Ferrarri Enzo into a wall at 210mph and all it did was scratch the paint a little.
Is this really what would happen?

Sounds like a former Ford Tempo owner helped in the development in this game...

To answer your question though... NO. My friend had one and it was so slow and had so many problems, they just abandoned it somewhere behind a building. I think it has like 90 hp and it's a freaking boat. Like someone said, it probably will run 0-60 in the time we run our 1/4 mile.

True but was it on Easy mode or Expert mode?

Alright...to those of you ass hats that made a serious response...you should rethink your importance in this world. Thank you for pointing yourselves out.

I made the post to make fun of all the retarded questions like..."Will my car beat this car or how much power will the following mods give me."

If you are curious about you beating another driver in a race, pick up a motor trend and take a look at some of the times posted...and stop wasting precious e-space with that garbage.

If you are curious about the gains you can expect from "xxxxx" mods...do a search...no really....a thorough search. If it's been released to the public, someone on this site has done it, I'm sure.

I love that chart posted in the beginning!

*shakes his head*...you turds thought this was a serious thread...wow.

Umm then why did you post it?
How are we supposed to know who is kidding and who is being serious?

You complain about other posting worthless threads about will this beat that yet you make one yourself?
Umm..right.

Yup. I did. Now I gotta do it again. nah, just kiddin'. But ya see my point? You read this and thought..."are you serious?!"

Now how about the other 4,345 threads asking "can i beat this or that?"

You don't know what a wasted thread is...pay for a VIP membership and you'll see what I'm talkin about. I just did it to prove a point with the hope that maybe it'll prevent some of those threads from showing up again. *shrug*...I won't be losing sleep over this thread and everyone's discontent.
