see pic above for a fine example of an american car owner trying to go rice...

hey "guest" ...you're pretty quick to jump all over this forum and talk sh*t yet you can't even identify yourself....also looks like you visit a Stang forum...what's the matter? Couldn't hold your interest so you had to come here??? Or are you a "closet ricer"?? :D

OK i Think you failing to see the point im trying to make:

Mustang = Made to look completly stupid, probably no real internal mods at all! (unless u count stickers).
Your car = Looks actually fine(just not my cup of tea but theyre alot worse looking ones out there), and modded like madd to go faster.
--Opposite types of cars

Import Del Sol = Mini putt putt car unless u throw 12-13+K at it, ecomonmy oriented, front wheel drive
Domestic = 13's bone stock @ 7-9K performance oriented, rear wheel drive.
-- Opposite types of cars.

Your car "logically" isn't worth it if your goal is to go fast, but I think you want the rice factor. Long term you should have got a V8 and pushed your car into the 11's dont you think? Rice is the wanting to make your car look faster and throwing a fartpipe on the back, import racing is now generalized as wanting to push a 4 banger frontwheel drive (ya stereo typical import car =p) to try and catch up to mostly stock F-Bodys and Stangs... Drag Racing is doing it right with a real car with a real engine, and not having to spend 12 grand just to get your car to 13-14 seconds. :rolleyes: You can get a Turbo Supra for a sick amount of cash, or buy a Camaro, throw in some BASIC mods and ride just as fast... It just not logic buying a 4 banger to do the same thing man!!:crazy:

To be honest I got bored haha =)

o.k....at least you admit you got bored....and I can see your point...to be honest with you before I bought my Accord, I was looking at a Mustang Bullitt..almost bought it too...but I went with an import for two reasons....one, the realiabilty, I drive alot and put alot of mileage on the cars that I drive...Ive had alot of bad experiences with American cars so I chose to drive an import...
two, I live in a small town in Mississippi and every other car on the road is a Mustang....my car, in case you haven't checked it out,is unique...definitely stands out...yes, there are alot of Hondas on the street but there are two ways to fix up a Honda....do what everyone does, put on a 3 inch pipe and some Altezzas and call it done...or you can look at all the time and effort that a majority of the people on this board have put into their cars...especially delsolvtec...personally, I don't like delsols but that's probably the best one that I've seen around yet....

In addition to that, yeah, you can buy a "muscle" car that already has all of the power and torque that it does...but anybody can do that...not everybody has the know-how and/or the ambition to buy a car that wasn't intended to be fast and then do what they can to make it as fast as possible...

wow that chic that beat that Camaro...wow!
wanna "Race" my "stick" "car" ;) :D

:rolleyes: Ok, what was all that mustang stuff about? & hey Juvenile, what kinda car you have? I'll race anything that's my size... hmm.... ;)

Youd win.. Hes a rookie "stick" driver.. ;) :D

Hey, like I said...I already killed a civic! :yes:
But she has some mods...sooooo I dunno
Mine's a 6 "cylinder" car ;)
how big's your "exhaust" and your "altezzas" ;)
lol

A rookie stick driver? How funny, I've been drivin a stick since I was 14! I wouldn't drive anything else. You're more in control w/a standard :bow:

Are we still talking about cars? Or someting else? ;)

ahaha...Umm.... :D cars...mainly :cool:

uhhhhh....sorry, I apologize ;( guess I got carrried away...anyway, GirlRacer, nice kill....

:D it's all good. see how I threw 'mainly' in there? :eek: ;)

Thanks! 'mainly', huh? lol...what else could you possibly be referring to?? :eek:

:D Ok, sorry, that was retarded. My comp. locked up in the middle of posts, what I meant was, its all good, we all get carried away at times, but glad we're back on track :yes:

Um...yea

haha

Geesh this topic gets derailed more then a run away Amtrak.:eek:

You know, I think people that can drive manual cars are better drivers then people that dont. Just kinda what Ive seen, maybe its just my imagination.:crazy:

:yes: O no, I agree w/you 100%.

by the way, (& not meaning to derail) what's with the babysitter's club thing?

ya see what she did there...ya see
lol
but yeah...I would love to run but you're ummmm a bit far away.
unless you come here lol :yes: :D :crazy:

Ill send you a pm explaining it.;)

:) okie doke

I wanna know too! :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes:

Aww.. sh!t look what you started now..

so do I!!! or is it for the privileged only? :paranoid:

Lets play a game.. Send me a pm,about what you think it means.. and Ill tell you if you are close.;)

Oooo, I'm sorry Rice, my bad, just cc the PM to people :yes:

:bandit: Then again, it'd be fun if I was privileged....considering I'm very new here.... haha
Just kidding guys!
I know I'm no better than any of you! No hate messages K?
hehe ;)

Good job RR.. Looks to me like you're piloting that Amtrak..

;) :D

*Shrugs*

:D What can I say..:o

lol V6 camaro? They still make those? wtf was GM/chevy thinking?

Hold on wait. no more camaros period... almost forgot.

they stopped making camaros? y...

yup.. ;(

That really is sad. There'S plant not far from where I live that made Camaro/TA.. And they're closing it down..

Several attempts were made to keep it alive, but I guess it just isnt in demand anymore.

The camaro might come back but it's unlikely and if it does not for a few years.

I tought that plant was gona be reused for like the SSR or something

gimmick
 

I can't believe they actually went through with the discontinuation. I honestly figured they were just using it as some sort of gimmick to sell a huge amount in a small amount of time.
There was some other vehicle that did that...some kind of truck I think...can't remember which though.
Did you see how much the very last camaro ever made went for? I never saw the final selling price, but I bet it was UP THERE.

Yeah, Im kinda surprised they actually did stop making them also. What do they have now besides the Corvette? Not everyone can afford one of those. :no: They sissyfied the Impala;( Theres nothing "sports car like" besides the rather expensive Corvette. That just doesnt make sense to me.

No camaro, trans am, Firebird.. hmm.. guess Ill just have to settle for a Cavalier.:crazy:

Noooooo
 

:pukey Nooooo one should settle for a cavalier, good lord those cars SUCK! They are like BOTTOM of the line to say the least...:no:

Great.... so it starts right back up again. Pesonally i have seen numerous Z's get stomp by built up imports. Almost makes me be determined to by an import for the available speed and still the goo on gas.

:yes: :D :yes: :D

No, the last FBody came off the production line at the end of August. GM says it wasn't selling, but the inside track that I've heard is that the new Federal crash requirements for 2003 would have required redesigning the windshield/upper cockpit area.

I think we will see a new one, all redesigned. :yes:

I'm...not so positive. The Impala, Monte Carlo and Malibu were all full-size, haul-ass musclecars, and they all came back as neutered anemic 6cyl front drivers. GM may launch a new Camaro, with a new design and new powerplants, but I think the straight-line only approach of the FBody platform is dead, evolved out of existence by the 'do everything well, excel at nothing' approach of Mustang, S2000 and Eclipse.

Or, I'm desperately trying to persuade me to go buy an M3. :)

Max

m3's are nice... wait a few years and get a 2003 when the price drops on them

:yes: Those are nice! My dad has been trying to find me a Matrix from an insurance pool, or one that's been totalled. Then we can get it for cheap and rebuild it. ;)

:no: Omg, that's not very nice...

yeah those 383s are nice!

Not enough sales. That makes me wonder what chevy will do. Maybe the Cavalier will be the new chevy flagship lol.

^ LOL
