Yeah, like a tricked out Honda is going to run with a blown Hemi Charger. That movie looks like the dumbest piece of trash that's been put out in a long time. Like Popular Hot Rodding said, "Beat the rush, hate it now".

www.aint-it-cool.com has had good reviews of this movie. It does look pretty cool. I bet some of those 10 second ricers would give a Hemi a nice spanking...

91banditt2: You can kick and scream all you want but the domestic vs. import feud will never go away. Theres always gonna be people who hate the ricers and theres always gonna be ricers for us to hate and they will also probably hate our cars. If you don't like it, don't be a part of it.

I have my doubts that any of those are 10 second hondas.. and 10 second hondas are not daily drivers with a decked out interior.. so against a blown hemi charger NO WAY.. , but you know, MOVIES ALWAYS ARE NON-FICTION.. but i dont care.. the race scenes look cool, the stunts look cool.. i will definately be checking it out.

Hey, I'm all for an 11 second car that still pops upwards of 30 Mpg. Show me that w/ a domestic. My friend's got a 99 Civic SI runnin 11's and has all the tv stuff and all that in his car. Guess what, the car itself looks stock except for 3 things. Tinted Windows, Lowered a lil, and it does have a big exhaust tip, but, it's actually that big from his exhaust manifolds back. I'm all about the F-body's too, but i don't believe in all this bashing of foreign cars. Ricers however are a different breed with all their stickers and ****. Hell, slap an Edlebrock sticker on the back of a Civic, and that's 5 HP.

OKay, it sems to me that a lot of people are mixing up the ideas of having an import and being a *****. Having an import is NOT being a *****. Having a fast import is NOT being a *****. These cars in this movie (from what I have seen) are not ricers. Why? well, good question. ***** is a mentality. ***** is an attitude. That mentality and attitude being, I will slap on a 10" exhaust tip with no other exhaust mods. I will place 17lbs of stickers on my car in hopes to fool people into thinking I have these parts. I have list the percentage of tint on my windows in my sig (some people here do this!!!). Now, having an import car and actually modifying it so that it is faster, well, then, that is not a *****. That is a car enthusiast who just happens to like imports. TT Supras, are badass without a doubt. Ever race one? Don't. You'll probably lose unless you've done some work. Top end on those cars is fabulous...look at their timeslips...may not be 11 seconds, but check out their MPH. Easy cars to make gobs of power from, same with turbo RX7s. They are all cars, we are all in the same game with different preferences.

Hmmm, putting a blower type scoop on a non-blower motor? Could that be considered a form of ***** behavior? Further proof that rice is a behavior, not a brand.

I posted this up on the nethirdgen.org board a long time ago. If I find the link to it I'll post it. I'm going to see it but I want to see some f-body's kicking some *** . The f-body wasn't just made for the straights, it was designed for trans am racing and has always been designed to handle better than the mustang (probably the reason most highway patrol went to the f-body over the mustang). I'm going to see the movie and watch all the riceboys wanting to pick a fight with me. Let them do stupid stuff like peeling out of the parking lot and getting pulled over. It's not like I have anything to prove, it's been done so many times .
About Bill spelling Moderator wrong in his sig: Well at least he spelled "a lot" and not "alot" like 90% of the peeps on the boards. A few other spelling lessons so you don't look stupid: It's single/dual plane not plain and it's torker intake manifold, not torquer!
Now does anybody want to go to the opening night of that movie with me? Columbus Ohio needs some more f-body's...too much import and too many beaterz.

I do agree bill.. My Roommate drives an integra type-R I don't go and tell him he has rice.. I actually think his car is nice.. no stickers or anything just the factory type R stuff, and a good engine which could probably take a decent amount of cars on the road.. god only knows it could blow away a mustang.. so why is everything jap rice?? The most important concept is that it's not a mustang, and some people like them better than the f-body's.. we here do not.. we are a little biased towards our opinions, and I think that that is something many of us need to reconsider.. once again, as bill said, Rice cars are tacky stripes and stupid effects/ type R stickers on a car that could never be a type R or an integra gs with type R stickers.. That is rice.. an actual car that can perform that's not rice.. Think about it.. if I went and put all kinds of junk on my car and put z28 stickers on it with a v6 (tho mines v8) that would be a rice thing to do.. Re-think the idea of rice.

Just want to correct one thing. A supra and a 300zx will not beat a c5 or even come close to a viper or zo6.As for modding them, sure a supra can be built realy fast and are a nice performance car but it will never touch a v8 or a v10 that is equaly modded.

I agree with theformula, 91banditt2 and Red Demon. I'm looking forward to seeing this movie and thanks to Big Mike for sharing the clip with us. Hey, when was the last time you saw a good action race flick (besides Gone In 60 Seconds)??

You know, no matter how much of an enthusiast you are of a particular make or model (mod or not) there will always be someone in something (that you do'nt like) that'll whoop your @SS!! (in looks, speed, power or all the above). It's just a matter of your personal preference. So why trash the other guy just cause he's got a nice car?

Everyone wants to be noticed and respected to some degree for what he's driving. I'm 34 and grew up aruond Hemis, Ram Air IVs, and big block chevys. But would I disrespect a guy who had a twin turbo Porsche or Supra... hell no! I'd respect him, his car for what it represents and his knowledge of the product (if he had any)! and he'd HAVE TO respect what I represented being a 1st through 4th gen FBody enthusiast!! That is, if he knew anything about RAW HP and RAW torque!!

The mature and knowledgable ones reading this I'm sure can relate to what I'm saying here. To each his own but for every one... there is one BADDER (as I have learned).

Because, he called me "kid". If you notice, he's the direspectful and condscending one. I've never put down one kind of car or another. All I said was that a blown hemi charger is not going to get beaten by a streetable Honda, such as was represented in the movie. I want to be even clearer: I'm not comparing gutted out 8-second imports to streetable muscle cars. The Charger in the clip would not be beaten by the Honda in the clip. I'm not disparaging either vehicle, I'm just stating MY opinion.

</font>

IMHO, I dont think not wanting to drive an import means that we are closed minded.
I have been in a few fast nissans, a few toyotas, and even a few fast hondas...
They dont have the same "feel" by any means.
Most of them are cars that weren't originally meant to go fast (excluding 300zx's , Supra's, and a couple others...). Compared to (most) American cars, Imports aren't worth a second glance as muscle cars.

Now, when we think of durability, longevity, and gas mileage, Domestic car makers have a thing or two to learn from our over-seas friends. You dont see to many American cars that get 30+ mpg, but the list of imports that can do this is growing.

As far as looks are concerned, put a newly riced out import next to a polished black '01 ram-air Trans-Am, and see what the rice boy says!


BTW, Im gonna see the movie anyways! I would rather see the cars in "Gone in 60 Seconds" in the same plot, with actual street racing. (Although I am guessing that the Jag XJ220 and the Diablo would walk all over the others... But not that formula at the beginning!)
Besides, I may be the only one representing our highly esteemed thirdgens!

Take it easy!

Right on, man. I drive a TBI 305, so I have a hard time fighting off Yugos. Let's just drop the whole discussion and go grab a beer.

IMHO, I dont think not wanting to drive an import means that we are closed minded.
I have been in a few fast nissans, a few toyotas, and even a few fast hondas...
They dont have the same "feel" by any means.
Most of them are cars that weren't originally meant to go fast (excluding 300zx's , Supra's, and a couple others...). Compared to (most) American cars, Imports aren't worth a second glance as muscle cars.

Now, when we think of durability, longevity, and gas mileage, Domestic car makers have a thing or two to learn from our over-seas friends. You dont see to many American cars that get 30+ mpg, but the list of imports that can do this is growing.

As far as looks are concerned, put a newly riced out import next to a polished black '01 ram-air Trans-Am, and see what the rice boy says!


BTW, Im gonna see the movie anyways! I would rather see the cars in "Gone in 60 Seconds" in the same plot, with actual street racing. (Although I am guessing that the Jag XJ220 and the Diablo would walk all over the others... But not that formula at the beginning!)
Besides, I may be the only one representing our highly esteemed thirdgens!

Take it easy!

exactly what my post was intending to say.. couldn't have said it better myself.. just was too busy getting ready to run to class.. Lots of people should just calm down... I hate mustangs, but gone in 60 seconds is my favorite movie.. soo as posted above, just grab a cold one and enjoy the movie, who cares what the cars are as long as it's exciting.. if it sucks then it sucks... Gee I wonder if people on like a mideval posting place get as pissed as the people on thirdgen do, when a movie comes out that has some flaws.

Hey feel free to chat with me on AOL IM if you wanna.. Darkhal2000! Also if you wanna join my webring gimmie a yell at my email addy. I'm always looking for third gen's to add.

To the Moderators:

Why isn't there a forum where we can post topics like this? It would be nice to have a "Lounge" where we can shoot the bull, share racing experiences, stuff like that..etc. It would be a great place to meet new members and make new friends, don't you think? I'm sure we all have stories to tell but there's no adequate forum for these kinds of posts. Would you please considering adding one? Thanks.

and...your point??? So this means you can turn a wrench and change oil. What does that have to do with having knowledge of the "performance" side of automobiles. I'll tell you, nothing!

For a person that claims he knows a lot about automobiles...you certainly fooled me. You could not even distinguish a Toyota Supra from a Honda. Anyway, I don't think you're in a position to bash cars. You drive a 305 TBI. The 4 bangers must have a lot of fun with you. So I guess we can understand your bitterness towards them.

Because, he called me "kid". If you notice, he's the direspectful and condscending one. I've never put down one kind of car or another. All I said was that a blown hemi charger is not going to get beaten by a streetable Honda, such as was represented in the movie. I want to be even clearer: I'm not comparing gutted out 8-second imports to streetable muscle cars. The Charger in the clip would not be beaten by the Honda in the clip. </font>
Overclk is right about the hondas. There are streetable hondas running 10s,11s,12s on the street. Like I said before Da91bird, you don't know crap about automobiles. Just go to import nationals sometime to see the cars running, or pick up a magazine. By the way, how can you tell by looking at a car if it is fast or not? I want to know why you said a tricked out honda (the one in the clip) would never beat a blown Hemi. What did you base your decision on? Sound? looks?

Why doesnt this board have a lounge?

Simple answer. The Past. Some morons got on here, made a whole lot of trouble, started posting trash, and flooded the boards with it one night. Thirdgen was taken down, brought back up as tech only. End of story.
No lounge for us, or the past will likely repeat itself...
