before i even get started... does only having 4 posts mean i have no credibility?
second... my point wasn't to tell everyone to go out and buy a muscle car and call it a day... it was just an example. what i meant is that i dont understand the point of modding a 130hp import, when you can buy a car with way more horsepower to mod and go even faster. Sure you can do a motor swap on a civic and run low 14s. my friends room mate did a motor swap on a crx and ran 13.8, but he couldnt drive anywhere over 30miles without having problems with the car... which brings me to my point of, why not just buy a car that already does 13.8 stock, and go from there. IMO it's easier to mod a V8 and get good results without sacrificing dependability. Most V8's from GM come restricted to hell and back, and just removing the restrictions and dialing in a few things can lead to big performance gains without really doing anything.
For me the ultimate goal is to go as fast as possible for the least amount of money and work. and! be able to duplicate that performance at all times, not just at the track.
Apparently this is not the objective with the import crowd? I'm just trying to understand the philosophy behind it all. Because i'm greatly confused.
I hate a the cocky pony car owners that think they are the quickest car out there. I love having sleepers that can pull on "fast" cars.
im not sure if youre refering to me or not, but just in case... i'd never own a rustang, and i own a sleeper thats not a muscle car. the look on peoples faces when they get beat by an "S-10" is priceless. I have a video of me owning a 2002 911 turbo at the track.
ummm 666 or whatever you name is - be happy man!
what the hell happened to make you such an angry little kid?
im not angry, nor a little kid.
i'm just sick of all these kids in my city whos parents buy them a POS, and they think cause they throw on an ebay body kit, a wing, and a lawn mower exhaust that they got the fastest thing in town. Then if you want to go drag race, you need to waste an entire day to get 4 runs in cause theres 5,000 imports there. 10 of which might be fast.
and can someone please explain loud exhaust to me? i mean seriously, do people really think that it sounds good? a V8 with headers and open pipes, that sounds good. a 4 banger revving out to 90000 rpms with a coffee can for an exhaust pipe just does not sound good.
so until someone can explain this, im putting it in the same catagory with the mexicans that put a $2000 set of wheels on a $500 car, then put 6" adapters behind the wheels so they stick out, and put gold trim all over the car. sweet jesus i wish someone would tell those people how dumb that looks.
ok, back to flaming me.
