Yeah, what the hell is a thread that involves car performance discussion doing in a section called car performance and repair ? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif
Wow, you're a retard ... Congrats ...

Camaro weighs less than a 911 Turbo, Ferrari 612, or Lamborghini Murcielago //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

how many people do you see driving those in ratio to those cars i listed? very few. and if they weigh that much, theyre tree huggers in my book.

i sure as hell wouldn't street race in any of them......

they'd be fun track cars, tho

 

[Silver 10+ year member]

I wouldn't street race period.

 

[yacob.naif 10+ year member]

Well, i didn't mean race, i've never actually 'raced'

i just mean, i wouldn't get carried away with any spirited driving in any of those cars.

They're actually DESIGNED to kick out around the twisties.... not a good thing on a normal road.

x2. and stricter requirements on driving tests and so on... but less emissions bullshit. I almost got t-boned by a retard in a riced out cavalier (SP?) the other night in New Orleans east (Gretna area)... they still dont have power to most of the traffic lights and few businesses are open... but i was making a left at the stop sign at the intersection to get to a service road, and coming toward the intersection i see a ricey car so i keep on my way, cuz with his outrageous headlights im sure he could see the big red stop sign... well he must have thought he was too cool for it and decided not to stop... until he noticed that the truck i was driving would have pwnt him and stopped at the last second. Tards. These are the people that cause insurance rates to go up, give certain groups bad reps, and end up giving you a headache because they were retarded and caused an accident.

problem is, with the way the us is arranged (cities, suburbs, etc) private transportation is NECESSITY, rather than a priveledge.

now, if they restricted HIGHWAYS to people with 'highway liscences' something could happen.

but unfortunately, busses don't go everywhere, so the blind, deaf, retarded, and soccer moms too, will have to share the road.

i watched some documentary on the autobahn, and i was amazed at how fluent it is, no jams, no retarded weaving.

you get ticketed for tailing, and you actually get PULLED OVER FOR DRIVING IN THE LEFT LANE OTHER THAN FOR PASSING!!!

great idea, honestly!

And the craziest thing, is that traffic violations are in proportion to your income. So rich businessmen who get away with murder here in the states, pay THOUSANDS in fines for being dickheads.....

Exactly. Im not talking regular city streets im talking highway travel. Highway licenses would be an awesome idea. Also, i like that you put soccer moms with blind, deaf, and retarded ppl! lol.

Yeah, 240 owners are very proud of their treasures. Hell, im swapping a 95 motor into my 91 and adding mods and such while its all down and easy to work on, and its costing me over 1400 including the price of the motor after all the mounts, header, fluids and other crap associated... and dont regret a bit of it.
And woody wtf are you talking about? Quoting ftw

im working out what it will cost to have my friend send me a s15 back home. yay! he's grown attached to the car he's building for me and i told him if he would send me a S15 at cost for him then we would be even.

hell yeaaaaaaa, r32 pwnsss ALL, can u import to usa or its illegal??
its in the US, and its not too shabby.

also, i did 130mph with a honda accord '92 with an imported used STOCK japenese accord '92 engine (50 000km) and was the most fun car to drive, was quick, handled like a champ, all stock I just swapped the engine to a "new" used one.

also, pontiacs gran am and all these are pretty heavy and arent effiecient at all....

i hate heavy cars:crap:

its not that they're heavy. its that the suspension's and chassis are next to worthless.

And your point is? I never said i liked the sr20det. And as with any cars/trends/groups Youre going to have complete idiots who are in it just to look cool, and in cars, we call those ricers. This guy is a prime example of a ricer. He thinks that just because he has a JDM turbo motor and maybe some boltons, that he is god. And i think that he got what was comin to him. Street racing is for ****.

eh, sr20's are alright, but in my opinion they're not worth shit till they're stroked and come up with that... torque stuff.

i still have more love for the KA though.

We need a autobahn in America!

the fuck we do. people can't even handle 70mph. let alone ~ mph.

r32. woot.

 

[Eugenics 5,000+ posts]

the new r32 didn't excite me that much at all.

 

[phantom240 5,000+ posts]

S15 silvias arent on the list of vehicles you can import. I dont even think you can import a fairlady Z z32 (300zx twin turbo) even though it is identical to our US counterpart except for safety and emissions. If im not mistaken you can only import r32 and r33 skylines at the moment.

5-speed... yes it does....with room to spare... I bought it from a third party, to be honest, I assume it is stock based on what I have been told by mechanics (not necissarily good ones until recently) and people whom assume to know about Honda's.


you are right, bold, and stupid, of me not to clarify my thoughts on the pontiac vs. honda race I had just participated in the previous weekend... but not incorrect, (I always get called out on this and its my fault for responding while at work--if it gets busy I have to lay aside my thoughts and come back when the calls slow down)

I do believe, if you read my earlier reply, I clarified that we were talking about the sunbird to grand prix series...my sis owned a sunbird, my boyfriend a grand am, and myself a Grand prix and a Bonneville (hardest car to get in and out of) for four short months until I found I got pregnant and bought a van. (a TransSport Van for da family--but that doesnt count in this thread)..IMO..they were all shit. Period....

Well, In my experience you will get your wish...go ahead and push that pontiac...it's gotta get to the repairshop somehow. BTW...has your odometer started spinning rapidly yet, adding on miles? What about the ignition not accepting the factory key? Oh, and the fuel injectors fartin out ALL AT ONCE ....Wait, it will...my grand prix AND a TransSport van I had BOTH started all their shit after about 48K to 50K or so.

I will NEVER OWN another Pontiac... didnt like them then, dont like em now. Is that okay I dont like a vehicle you do? Or is everyone wrong because they dont see the world the way you do?

same as the ol chevy vs. ford debate.... the debate doesnt piss me off, and no, I dont have the fastest car (I cant validate $10K for a top of the line fuel injection/Nitrous system.) But it is mine and I own the title, and I dont have to constantly take it to the garage like I did with every pontiac I ever owned. (why so many?--I listened to my stupid *** husband that thought Pontiacs were good cars--women dont know anything right?) Honda (and Toyota) engines are very well known for being able to turn out 200K miles and still run. All-be-it they have their own mechanical failures too--(Honda = timing chains) but I am not replacing an engine every 150K (if your lucky with that pontiac) miles.

again...this is all just IMO... and some from personal experience. Don't deny what you cant prove. COme take a ride and I will show you how quickly I can get my car to 130+ anytime babe. And I dont have to have a peenis to do it! LOL....

Well I really dont get into to many car debates just because 99.9% of the time it is just someone's opinion, which you have pretty much said. I have read a few of your reply's in here and have to say that yep you must be drinking the alcohol for sure. I dont doubt your Prelude can get to 130 mph. Hell my ST Focus gets over that with room to spare. I also can get 0-60 in under 7 seconds. Is that mind boggling? No it isnt, hence the reason I dont brag about my car and blah, blah, blah. I think your in a mans world here in the caraudio forum and feel like you need to fit in some what so you have to talk shit about how certain cars arent shitWell I used to own a grand am GTP back in the day and I have raced a shit ton of imports and some I won and some I lost, but I did never lose to a prelude. That I know for sure. Now the kid that started this that you responded to about the grand prix's has the GTX, which are very rare and fast. I highly doubt you or aot of cars could take that car. I am not saying your car isnt fast for what it is and is realiable because I like imports as much as domestics, probably a little more to be honest, but it is nothing but your opninion. Now if your talking sunfires, regular grand prixs and cheap domestics compared to your 25 plus(given it was new(er))import, then really you arent proving shit. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif
