I don't have my car for streetraces, but because I've been a big fan of it for quite a few years now, and I love being able to drive fast every now and then..

I think most people are scared to race me, but, when people stand next to me and want to race, most of the times I don't even respond and just drive along slowly..

I don't really like streetracing to be honest..

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Well like said before:

You can spend 30k on a fucking civic and pull faster than a corvette but its still a fuckin civic. And civic's are pathetic, no matter how fast.

*replace civic with any riced up import crap.

I think street racing is stupid but that vette was amazing

I can't help but laugh when I see a little excel rice burner with all the body kit, spoiler and milo tin accessories. I saw an excel the other day with two milo tins, like it had a v8 or something, hilarious. And 2 big air intakes on the bonnet. Some people really crack me up.

Not all tuned imports are ricers people. Yeah a tuned civic or supra etc are still the same cars bodies but thats the whole point. You can buy a cheap car and make it run like a champ maybe do an engine swap and its fu nto do it. In the end your car including mods might cost as much as a vette does. Anyway its fun to have a sleeper.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

good point franck


BUT:

it is possible that you win with a ricer against a lingenfelter corvette.

ROFLMAO

I got a straight axled 90 Mustang GT on steroids (Factory Alumhead Motorsport motor and many goodies... - 380hp to rear wheels - AZ Plates no cats - Tubelar crossmember, subframes, Arms - Big Cobra Brakes) that will outlaunch, outrun, outcorner and outstop 98.5% of AWD Foreign Cars....

That Talon looked fast... no doubt

.. and a ZO6 or Lingfelter will eat me as well...

but I have 33,550 miles on My stang since I built it 3 yrs ago..
and I dont baby it... you cant .. it does not know how to go slow...
I drive it often to work across LA freeways and in stop and go traffic with
the AC on in the summer... and I get about 17mpg average.. and less than 20k invested...

Aint nuthin like Cubic Inches....

The ricer had a good pull at the start. not bad, but the vette still owned him :)

50 American Muscles a walkin'

fucking sweet corvette

Have you seen a fun british program called Top gear? On a closed track stock evo's and subaru's are pretty close or faster in laptimes than stock corvettes.

Don't knock 4wd turbo cars that actually have grip in corners :)

That being said, I have a 1.2 liter fwd renault clio and I'm probably not one to talk. (even though I probably paid more for that than you would for evo):)

ricers? hmmm fuck off

BUT

then you're still driving a ricer..

a ricer with 10's of thousands of dollars in it.. invest 10's of thousands in the vette, and that ricer is back to being what it was meant to be.. a grocery getter.

this is true

that's my point ;)

at least they recognised that they got owned.

Define a "ricer"



My Supra is hardly a ricer, and with 514 rear wheel horsepower on pump gas, will stomp nearly any production car on the road. Running on race gas the car is just plain silly at nearly 700 to the wheels. That's 800 horsepower at the motor!


Right now I'm getting the TRD widebody kit put on it. It will look pretty much the same but be several inches wider all around. Why you ask? Not just for looks, but to fit these bad boys on so I can have some traction:

nive! :thumbsup

...to pick up asian boys outside Bubble World...

I have raced 2 cars so far in my SS...I don't like to Dog my car either.. I have raced a 3000GT VR-4 and a Jetta Sti or whatever it was had a Turbo... Both where owned pretty badly.

Jetta GLS 1.8T ^^ thats what it was

Those cars are the slowest piles of shxt on the road!


Well, not the slowest, but one of the slowest cars you'll find next to a diesel with a "turbo" badge on it. :)

LMAO! That is one of the funniest comments I have heard in a long time!

:1orglaugh

New reality site?

hahaha, Warchild is a ricer who dreams that he can beats a Vette. Keep dreaming or stop racing 16 year olds who don't know how to drive. :thumbsup

$5000 says my stock Z06 would leave any ricer in the dirt.

Thats great! :1orglaugh

Me too 8 chrctrs

Does this include my Supra? :)

That baby, can haul ass :pimp

You're right because neither the Corvette Z06 or the Viper can pull over 1G on the skid pad. Are you living in the real world?

This makes no sense. Did you read the thread?

R0FL nice joke :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

newsflash: The real world is far from beeing US only...

BTW since you can afford why don't you come to Europe to some proper autoshows (tho the Detroit one was well represented ;) ) like the one in Genebra? :thumbsup

the tokyo auto salon is probably better for people who like imports than geneva

Look, I'm not saying American cars are the end all be all of cars. Europe, Japan and America all make some wicked true sports cars.

I'm not big in to cars like I used to be. I've rediscovered my love of sport bikes and I sold my Corvette last summer.

All I'm saying is don't discount American Sportscars as being competitive. Remember where the Saleen S7 Twin Turbo will come from. The Viper and the C6 Z06 are also bad ass sports cars that really handle. There's plenty of C5 Vettes running around with as much power as single turbo Supras and laying down amazing numbers.

Try to remember that making fun of somebody with $100 worth of mods on their mom's DX Civic is not the same thing as saying Japan doesn't make some fast cars.

Your sig makes me stare at it at least for a 1 or 2. Weird

I am and always will be a ferrari fan .. but the 360 modena really isn't that fast for today's standards (it's got a 0-60 of like 4.5 seconds). I mean - it's fast as hell, but there are a number of stock cars that can give them a run for their money now ... the new m3s and late model M roadsters (the 315 HP version), mustang svt, a lot of corvettes..., an assload of lower end porsches (carrera's and such), I don't think it's that far out of line to think that a car, such as a lancer evo, or wrx sti, with a stock 0-60 of very low 5's could be modified to take another 1/2 second off the 0-60 time. But ... there's no doubt in my mind which car would be better to own .. for sooooo many reasons.
