Whatever dude, go cry on that board then. It's easy for you to say "if you don't like what I post then don't read it" The shoe fits on your side just as easily.

I only gave you **** for calling the SRT-4 a ***** and suddenly you start whining worse than a 5-year old girl that had her lolipop stolen. But whatever, I'd be pissed off if I got smoked by a 14 second car too.

I'm not 12 but you talking about v8's being so great and comparing them to a top fuel car would be like me saying my rotary is so great and wonderfull cause it was in the only japanese car ever to win le mans and they had to ban the motor cause of how good it performed.

what does that have to do with my car though?
prolly nothing
just like that v8 prolly has nothing to do with your car


but check the rules on top fuel see if they even allow 4/6/10/12 cylinder motors? if they don't chances are they aren't using a v8 just because its the best it might be because of rules


and btw I have a slow car with no show either so you would waste me. hope that makes you feel all good warm and fuzzy inside

rx7speed

he just asked a question as well so
I have to say this

read carefully though or you might miss something

sorry about my grammer but you can go f uck yourself! understand that. i dont think their was any reason for you to open your mouth. if you dont like the post then dont read it dumb ***. keep your mouth shut all fly89gta did was ask a question in a fourum and this is what you say. im sure you have said more dumb **** in your life then youknow. here on this post for exp. do you just have alot of time on your hands cause for someone who hates these posts you sure like to respond like a d ick, get laid puss y boy. now go spend time looking for something else to look like a d ick head for and if you moderators have a problem with this post then let me know

rx7speed

it's not the fact that you asked a question it's how you asked it


try this whats the first thing that comes to your mind


yeah I drive a SRT-4 do you think I can beat some r<x>edneck driving a 92 with a l98. damn kids these days think by driving some car like that it's fast but I have boost and technology on my side. so what do you think roc city. do you think I can beat the m<x>ullet boy?


so do you see the question?
does it make you all happy inside and want to help me or does it kind of irk you a little?



now if yo ucame on to the board saying
I have a l98 with a few mods done (list mods here) do you think I stand much of a chance against a SRT-4?


doesn't that sound a little more friendly

roc city f body

so what was the problem with my org post then? besides why would i care if i **** off someone who does not live, breath, eat, ****, and drive american. their feelings dont count

Again, a $3k SRT-4 wouldn't be so great either (which is what the stall buildup was, a $3k build). With the same $10k-$20k that he spent on the SRT-4, he could accomplish streetability and efficiency rather easy as you already know, and what's the need of warranty if you've got extra cash, as he'd probably only use $5-$7k ($10-$13 if someone else is doing the work) of it. If the car breaks, it breaks, the warranty only specifies who's paying for it.

But, there are valid points in your argument. I will agree to simply disagree on this one.

roc city f body

no kiding those cars come faster stock the mine did? do you think it has something to do with technolgy? also half of you morons responding. when did i ever say it was wrong to buy one? half the girls i know drive neons

80smetalfan

well fine, for those defending the neon:

I'd rather have a COBALT SS anyways, LOL

80smetalfan

only wanted to point out that pretty much all modern V-12s are actually much smaller in displacement than the average strip-only BBC. With only a 427 (which isn't that big for BBC), you're already displacing 7 liters. And you find 502s and bigger in drag cars.

rx7speed

so since most of the people here you seem to of offended do drive american and did **** them off do they count?

the problem with your original post is your attitude which you have carried through all your post.


but anyway why should I care about you right?
I mean trailer trash r<x>edneck you should prolly go cut your m<x>ullet. do you see what I mean?

this is the attitude of your post through the whole thing. you have done nothing more then name calling, flaming, insulting and acting like a little kid. it's no wonder with people like you that thirdgen owners have a bad reputation.
it's one thing to love your car and it's herritage. it's another to be a complete dick about it to others based upon what kind of car you drive.


sounds to me your just as bad as those ricers you are talking so bad about. their attitudes their cockyness all of that you show yourself.


so go ahead keep on going with your attitude. make the thirdgen name as white trash as your doing. good job bud

rx7speed

not everyone has the money to fork that out all at once. making payments is a little easier for some folk. most people also don't just have the money to go on replacing parts if they break. most people don't just have 10-20k they can drop at the fall of a hat.
sure you can build it up over time and make your car fast. but that takes too long. who can wait a few years to finish a project only going little slower here and there at a time when instead I can sign a paper get the car now and have the good performance now and just pay for it slowly over time and still have someone else fix it if things go bad.
also with the thirdgen even if you do have all the drivetrain and motor built up your still driving around in a car that is at least what 13 years old almost? so there would be pain that prolly needs to be fixed up. and parking lot battle wounds, the squeeks, and rattles, seals that aren't sealing as good, the typical crack that happens in the body near the back of the window up top, and who knows what else you might have to replace.

not trying to knock the thirdgen as they are nice cars. it's just sometimes other deals are fairly nice.
and being a NEW car for the SRT-4 that shouldn't have those problems (though not all thirdgens do either if taken care of good enough). it's kinda nice . though I do agree the neon still isn't that great looking of a car

rx7speed

see that is what I mean. attitude nothing but attitude.
it's no wonder why your getting flamed and people don't like you too much already.

rx7speed

a lot of them I'm seeing tend to be in the 380ci range or around 6L for quite a few also. granted didn't look that hard but I'm sure there are many that are large enough.

but if they made a v12 top fuel car I'm sure it would be quite a bit larger then that just like the top fuel cars usually use a motor a lot larger then your typical sbc also


EDIT: didn't they have a v12 that was around 1.5-3L or something like that?

80smetalfan

I'm not totally sure, Stu could probably help me on this, but I believe Honda's Formula 1 motors are/were at one time like 1.5 liter V12s, quadturbocharged. If I remember correctly, something pretty stout like 600 hp. I'm gonna Google this right now to see.

EDIT: Looked at some F1 sites. They have like a 3 liter displacement regulation. So many tiny V-10s and V-12s. Honda did make a 1.5 V12 with over 400 hp, but couldn't find anything about it being turbo. If it was N/A, that would be one torqueless son of gun. Wouldn't matter though, as an F1 is a paperweight compared to a street car.

stu

The turbo F1 cars in the 80's were putting out 1,500 horsepower at around 80 pounds of boost. Way more power per liter than any top fuel drag car ever built. I don't think they were quad turbo, and don't know how many cylinders they had though.

Man a few days away and this thread turned into a nightmare. I should have lcoked it days ago so I wouldn't have had to delete so many posts.
