Bench Racing Defined

[Iwishiwascool]

it aint my bench i'm talkin about

for everyone's clarification:

Definition of "Bench"/"Bench Racing"
-Claiming probable track times or dyno numbers of a car that has never seen the track/dyno
-Claiming future superiority of a car which is:
a. Not yet built/assembled
b. Not yet bought
c. Waiting for parts to be installed
d. Not yet remotely tooned or track tested

Pertinent definition of "Annoying"
-Continuing to claim the above over and over and over in multiple arenas.
-Being 17
-talking about how fast OTHER peoples cars are, so YOU are fast by association
example: I know this one guys car ran xx.xxx@xxx.xx mph, and he made xxxWHP/xxx ft/lbs TQ. (MIKEY)
-Constantly boasting your own track time at every possible opportunity even when it only vaguely applies to the convo [or not at all]

We're just trying to help you baby drew. Help you to not be hated.

ADD YOUR OWN!

--Constantly saying what you SHOULD have run if all the variables were in your favor, and your car was driven by god himself.

[DQ Driver]

-using manufacturer, vendors, and real racers #'s to state how much power and how fast the car SHOULD be

example-

-my stage 3 evo will run low 12's, because buschur's car did
-phil beers, shepherd, curt brown, or *insert name* did ....

[DSM614]

Ah, brings up another one

- Saying you car will run xx@xxxmph because you beat a car that ran xx@xxxmph.

[Iwishiwascool]

thats a really good one.

[Jarod]

yeah, I've heard that one a couple times on here

[dan toops]

what about a motor that was dynoed in another car and you put it in yours with the same setup already tooned.... :thumb :confused

[EvolvedDSM]

There's a shop out here that is claiming a 10 second EVO because they ran 11.6 @ 119 on 1 bar with pump gas. When they get it tooned at 25 PSI and C12...

...it'll still be an 11 second EVO.

I'm gonna pretend I didn't just read this.

[integranator]

Yeah i don't think i've ever heard that one.

[Gunner]

What if I get all of the same mods as someone (Mike C), with the same tuneup as someone (Mike C), and put it into a car that weights 1000lbs less than someones (Mike C's). Given that scenario my JUNK will decimate all.
