[QUOTE="Flipx99, post: 1149349, member: 562352"] But it costs a great deal of money to make a 1000 hp supra, but you achieve similar results with a chevy crate motor with add-ons for much less. Also, I don't like cars made out of plastic or fiberglass or whatever. Recycled aluminum cans and whatnot...but newer American cars have similar problems. Thing about American classics is the simplicity. The brute strength. Not some fancy computer doing all the work for you. I am talking about manual drum brakes, carbs. I learned to drive on manual drum brakes. That means you begin slowing down way ahead of time. The problem I have with the ricer group is that they (as far as the ones I have seen) just buy shit and doesn't know how it works, how it makes their car faster, have more HP. They just trust their computer.... People are cocky on the road no matter what. Whether they try to brag about having the biggest SUV on the road or the fastest car.
