Official Domestics vs. Imports ish talking thread... - Page 3 - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

Even if they did run low 13's, that is still a drivers race. Because think about it. You are arguing over 4 10ths of a second, that is NOTHING!

And when I state my list, I am referring to overall ride. I like speed, I like turning, and I like stopping. Just because I dislike honda's doesnt mean that there arn't fast ones out there. But once you change the motor, can you really class it with other honda's? I have seen a Geo Metro run 9's. But the owner dropped in a turbo 6cyl and made it RWD. Just because that is fast, doesn't mean that I like it, or that its really a metro anymore!

PSI Chick · 03-06-2005, 04:48 PM

4 10ths of a second is huge in drag racing.

stichris · 03-06-2005, 05:03 PM

What she said.

Vypurr · 03-06-2005, 05:03 PM

Yes, but not on the streets!

stichris · 03-06-2005, 05:09 PM

Hey, it doesn't matter if it's an inch, or a mile. Winning's winning!

HAHAHA

wow, cant belive the evo guys have nothing to say in there defense.

kef · 03-06-2005, 07:37 PM

i would like to see lap times for an evo and srt-4.

For any newer car, I still belive only going fast in a straight line is akin to having sex in only one position.

With all the money pumped into modern cars to make them idiot proof and provide monumental levels of lateral grip at 9/10ths driving... ::shrug:: just foolish to have to make ANY excuse for why the car can't be made to turn at speed.

Just to clarify you won't find me saying that a tubbed out old car with a huge blower isn't the tits.

JasterM5 · 03-06-2005, 07:57 PM

There isn't enough ish talking here. I dont like this thread but i feel i must chime in.

I'm a big fan of any car that can go fast. I don't care wether its turning, straight, backward or underwater.

I've nver considered myself all "import" or all "domestic". The both have great cars availabe. Just like they both have crappy cars availble.

Personally I like to go sideways. I try to go sideways as fast as posible. and you can do that in whatever kind of car. It's just easier in some than others.

My only real quirk is I HATE FWD. I'm not saying they're slow but I hate them. Y? because they're no fun.

*This is where the ish talking begins*
SCREW ALL FWD CARS. If its not AWD or RWD I want nothing to do with it and if you don't like it, blow me! Its not a true sports car if its FWD.

Ah I feel better. Hopefully this will fuel some real trash talking. I want to see alot more **** labels and exclamations. **** **** **** **** **** ****

96Stang · 03-06-2005, 09:46 PM

haha. STORY.

im in eric's (96Stang) car about a week ago and we are driving down the BLVD (RT. 1 South) just miding our own buisness. We'll we get to welsh road and there is a clean looking red Prelude next to us. I think to myself "i like the way that car looks". Then the young punk driver sees a mustang next to him and decides to do the ricer rev. I was completely blown away by this and had to bust out laughing. And this wasnt a chuckle...i stuck my head to the window...looked at the kid...and laughed in his face saying "your cool cause you drive a front wheel drive car....please let me see you smoke those front tires and go nowhere". He proceded to act hardass and rev it.

So the light turns green and the kid lauches....doing exactly what i told him he would do...then he grips up and goes. BTW we didnt stoop to his level and go with him. He must have felt so stupid.

Thats my story...it probably isnt funny...but at that time, it was

No arguement from me!! I agree. Wrong wheel drive sucks.

kef · 03-06-2005, 10:13 PM

I think a vtec BMC mini would be pretty cool for fwd. :\
Shame it's almost as wide as it is long.

End of Line.

MuddyREX · 03-06-2005, 10:15 PM

The old mini's are an exception. They are too cool to be hated.

Vypurr · 03-06-2005, 11:52 PM

So even tho my car is FWD and can blow the door off most cars on the streets, and can be made into an 11 second car for 26k brand new with parts, it still sucks?

SilverTurboRidin · 03-07-2005, 12:36 AM

These are some of the most retarted things i ever hard....

BLAH BLAH BLAH AWD this and AWD that.... :thumbdow:

AWD is great...yeah its a cool thing to have, but just because someone doesnt have awd its suddenly becomes a burden it seems on these forums.

Gauranteed i know a ****load of FWD cars and car handle fine on any track.

dude. dont take these things to heart. this is the fight thread. only reason i dont like fwd is because you cant drift without holding the e-brake up.

as for awd...yes i prefer it because it is great in all conditions....and ima rally freak

96Stang · 03-07-2005, 12:46 AM

ive never touched my e-brake...yesssss...and my car drifts when it wants to...rwd rocks...screw traction...who needs that when you can spin tires all day....pete..what about the mall the other day....hahaha...the lady pointing at us
