It's going to be a flat black drag car... So, just for fun, what should I call it? What did you guys name yours, if you did give it a calling card.

" So, what in the hell should I name the bird? "

Well , I think you did just name it , , , It's , " The Bird " !

 

You serious? Gotta be something better than that man. You name yours?

 

Sure did , it's name is Orangebird

If your building a serious racecar , It's gotta have a seriously simple yet effective name . Something not too gaudy or goofy , "The ultimate bringer of doom" or some such just sounds WAY too "Gwar" to slap on the fender of a no nonsense mustang eater .

Now , since your going for black , "Blackbird" works without being too "Mellinum Falcon" ish .....

 

Well, if you absolutely need to name your unit, well...ahh...err....ok

Almost all words in various languages begin with verbs - nouns are derivatives. Then you come up with prefixes and suffixes - so think of a root word verb. Will this be feminine, masculine, or neuter? Big Pharma is great at this name play! Being a bird, you don't want a budgie sounding word, more like raptor or bird of prey. Find a verb fitting that, and make it into a noun with proper gender.

 

It will be very serious when I'm done with it.

I want a wicked name. Something people are going to remember if I drag them on a track or the street.

Ahh, I guess I coulda figured that out

I like the approach. Just not sure how to run with it.

You have to play with endings. Like #4 Falk could be Falkor. That would be unique and combines a raptor and falcon
Hor or Horos is the well known Egyption god that has a man's muscular body with a Falcon head.
Many ways. Go forth grasshopper...

 

But I want stupid people to be able to understand it too How about suicide bird?

 

How about "THUNDER" .Its simple and people know what it means. But you need to have a KILLER sounding exhaust.
Silver or even red letters would stand out nice on flat black and would look good. IMO.
I like "The Bird" also as mentioned.
"Suicide Bird" even has a decent ring to it, and I've never heard it before......
How about "Mongoose" or just "Cobra Killer".

 

Reaper

 

Night stalker
Wraith
Vector
Charlie
Peacock
Dark-wing
Night fury

 

I named mine Cheryl...

 

Who could forget being beat by "Koo Koo Bird" ?


My show truck is.....

 

I really like reaper. I want unique. Haha! Love cobra killer! Lol You know the thing I always loved about this site? You guys are hilarious!

And it's got killer exhaust lol

 

Night hawk
Black hawk
Night terror
Betty

 

Betty! I'm ROLLING

 

Pinto.

 

Even the not so bright people on the street or track will remember betty the bird kicked their *** 👍

 

Dark-wing sounds pretty good. I'd call mine that if it werent bright red.

 

mine is Burt after smokey and bandit see how it was moms car she named it I dont mind

 

You could go with "Black Betty". And have you own theme song.

Edit: For the theme song, make sure you go with the "Spiderbait" version

 

BirdFlu!!!!!!!

Snots!!!!

BirdSnots!!!

I can go all day ppl!! lol

 

Suicide Bird? Really? That doesn't sound mean. Sounds like you've blown it's drivetrain several times. Don't go with that.

"Bird is so slow, the only cars on its kill list is itself."

 

I want something mean. Gimmicky is fun, but just doesn't do it for me. My grandmas name is betty Yeah, maybe suicide isn't the best. But how do I fit murder/homicide into the mix?

 

Death Dealer is pretty mean.....

 

Actually Chazman, I REALLY like that.

 

Well, then you can have it, my man!

 

Etheleen

 

What did you guys name yours?

 

Grey Ghost, RamAir, White Lightning, Blue Pearl, and The Hawk

 

Black pecker

 

I still say "Black Betty". But.. then again I like the song. Plus your Grandma will think it is a tribute to her.

 

"Ex-Wife"....

Costs just as much.

 

Bird-****.....

 

Lol ex-wife. Dying

 

Well, it's a drag car, and most names for cars are usually based on female references, so how about Drag Queen, or DQ for short? And doesn't the real DQ have a logo that features big red lips?

Or if you like the idea of having a theme song, then with your own username being killer, there's Killer Queen, and you can rock the Queen classic as you approaching the line.

 

I'm not a expert in names but I think Pontiac named it Firebird

 

You could pick an old, outdated name. Everyone will remember that.

Like Agnes, Bertha, Beatrice, Ida, Maude, Ursula, Winifred


Or you could go the humor route and name it Dillweed. (Cmon, tell you you didn't just chuckle.)

 

Name it "WAR BIRD".
NS

 

About 10 posts into this ancient thread I started to feel like I was back in the 6th grade.

 

It's an "F" body...............

'F'n Around
'F'n Bird
'F'n Drag Car

 

Way back in 2015, in post #4, I tried to set the OP straight....... Didn't work.....

PS, OP ain't been seen since 2016...

 

Send it.

 

I once saw a IROC or something like that at a drag strip with drag radials and big letters across the rear window,

YEAH IT'S FAST
NO YOU CAN'T DRIVE IT

We ended up running at one point. I was expecting more from such a grandiose words.....
