My friends say that my Fors Explorer is slow and I can never beat them.

Is that true ?

Can I upgrade the car for the street races?

It's important to be faster than the cops, that's rule #1!

The Explorer in my experience is the fastest thing on the street.  I
would suggest pulling up to a stoplight next to a cop and leaving him in
your dust.  Then post here and let me know how it worked out for you.

Yea.  The only time I ever got a ticket is when I pulled over cause I
thought it was an ambulance behind me.

Depends on the meaning of "good"!

Remove the muffler first if you need that NASCAR sound. Did I say that
#1 diesel fuel in the tank will add about 5000 BTU to the engine.

Yes especially when you have added "much rice"!

I've added a nitrous system, a turbocharger and a blower to mine, plus a
full race cam, .090" overbored pistons, racing stripes and a rear
spoiler to keep the slicks on the ground.  My best 1/4 mile time is 6.22
sec @ 289 mph.  Keep up with that flatfoot!

It's not the Explorer; it's the driver.

>Can I upgrade the car for the street races?

Certainly. How fast do you want to go?
How much money do you have?

>It's important to be faster than the cops, that's rule #1!

You can't outrun the Motorola.
