So this dawned on me the other day when I was looking at a guys SRT4 at the track. With the way the Import (and even some of the domestic aka cobalt, GTO and srt4) scene is going these cars are getting uglier and uglier with big shiny rims and shopping car handle wings, or they just look like pregnant roller skates. So when I line up to this kid and take off I kill him out of the hole and at about the 8th I let out and coast the run making a 15.3 if I recall. I get back to the lane with my friends and they're all like "What happened?!?" so I look at them and say with all sincerity "Racing these cars is like running in the special olympics". Just one to remember if you guys decide you have to show up to a Lancer Evo, SRT4 or any other of the "4 less cylinders than you" cars out there, and even some of the newer obese house wife muscle cars.

 

Okay your story is completely retarded. You let out on a run just to say "Yeah I didn't want to race him anyway because he sucks."

Sounds more like he was catching up and about to PASS YOU!!

roflmao

 

I dont know man. When GM high tech tested the new GTO it ran 13.2 with over 80 degree temperatures. Imports are getting faster and faster these days. The new EVO and STI's are running very low 13's out of the box. Thats more than any stock third gen can handle. Id be careful who you race there are some fast cars out there these days.


But this story makes more sense than the other one where the random dude handed you a grand.

 

i agree with you 100% because its not a muscle car it cant be fast not in any way .i mean just the other day i rolled up on a BMW M5 in my RS Camaro and because his car was a euro he got wooped.


ps. if you guys didnt notice im makeing fun of this guy.its to bad you got wooped get over it theres a guy i know with a 05 wrx sti that would put my iroc away easy.

 

I am not trying to offend anyone in here, but a stock L03 is nothing to brag about these days in the performance world. Most of the cars on the road today can beat an L03 powered Camaro. 170 hp 3400 lbs you do the math

 

and l03 back in the day is like a new mustang GT today, low horsepower v8's that run sad quarter mile numbers compared to what else is out thier.

 

This thread is a joke.

Those new 300 hp GT's are pretty quick. The 99-04 GTs w/5-speed are good for low 14's not bad for a street car.

 

ok, so im confused. whats wrong with imports? although my main car isnt technicaly an import (92 gsx eclipse) its still close enough, and this still offends me. my car is ***** to wall fast. please dont complain about imports if you dont know what your talking about. and on my other forums, they think 3rd gen f-bodies are hick cars, so i guess everybody has to complain about something.

that post made me stupid enough to join the special olympics

 

It just shows how dumb some people can be. This story most likely did not happen and is

 

ummm the GTO is not an import..or ugly. yea retarded thread

 

Can we just start banning these idiots?

 

just curious, but what does ur eclipse run?

 

i want a list of mods, i know them gen 1 eclipse/talons are fast for easy money.

was this for me . im very aware of how slow lo3 cars are. my iroc i said would get wooped was l98 powered with modds and 3.45 9 bolt posi.and my rs donst even have a lo3 the person who had it before me put a l69(with worked heads and a 272 comp cam) with the tbi put on it.

 

still slow

 

the rs is still slow fastert then most but still slow.

 

12.3@109.x (dont remember what the x is, its been over a year)

that was its time last year, havent taken it to a track since, mainly due to its block being blown lol)

16g evo III turbo, tranny built by Shepherd racing (who has a talon running 7's), GReddy RS BOV, Walbro 255 LHP, K&N filters, GM MAFT, SBR race front mount, dejon tool UICP, CAI, FIC 650's, Aeromotive afpr, ACT 2600, ACT XACT Streetlite flywheel, ss clutch line, mbc, 3" turbo back exhaust w/ magnaflow, dsmlink

prolly some other stuff, i dont keep track

1.534 60'

 

cool cool, those awd dsms are nasty cars when you put some money into them

 

I don't know if this is connected or not but theres a difference between a import and a r*ce burner. A fast car is a fast car import or not. If I want to make my lawnmower out back run 9s I could.

All it comes down to is personal preference. If you really want to compare cars...use showroom capabilities which would make most muscle cars of the 60s and 70s slow because off the floor they just couldn't put the power down. I feel the real musclecar age is now. Cars are putting down low 13s off the floor no problem. Not many muscle cars back in the day did it with out being something special.




For this story how retarded...

 

prove me u can make your lawnmower do 9's!

i call bs on this one

 

Easy...Strap a gas turbine from a helicopter on the back. Probably be qucker than 9's then. You never said there is a limit in the budget. A simpler solution is to mount a turbo hyabusa engine to the thing. All it takes is money.

 

Exactly...

Pretty vette

 

I agree. A fast car is a fast car. There are fast and slow everything. Camaros, Mustangs, imports. I don't think the Mustangs are impressive. I mean, low 14s. LT1s can do that.
Alot of new imports put down mean numbers.

3rd Gens are old. In their day, they were the shiot. But now, just about any stock 3rd Gen is slow compared to alot of cars. They are just cheaper to make fast. Cheaper cars, more displacement, cheaper parts, etc. The old muscle cars were fast in their day to. But, for a car, I would take an LS1 car over most muscle car. 1 The new ones, in most cases, are faster. 2 There more economical 3 There more user friendly.

There is a complete difference in the old mucsle car rating system and the current. Old cars were crank dynoed with nothing on them. Exhaust, accesories, etc. The new ones are. Exhaust and accesories take alot of parisite power.

There is a difference between an import and a *****. A ***** starts life as an import. People make them ricers. I would love to have a EVO Lancer, a Impreza STi, BMW M3, 328i, or RX7, or Skyline or whatever. They are nice, pretty cheap, fast cars. They are imports.
*****


IMPORT


GTO (not either)

 

OR.....Domestic ****

 

No it was to the person who started this bs thread.

 

I'm not gonna deny it. There are V6 SUV's that would whomp on my RS.

It's almost a waste of time to try and tell people how Camaro's are not necessarily fast, and that imports are not necessarily slow. If they were bright enough to understand what we're all saying, they wouldnt have made that assumption to begin with.

I just like my car because it's different. And reputable, for the most part. And mean looking.

 

I know what you mean. I use to own an lg4 in mint condition. [still have it in storage] Its not fast by any means but it looks nice. I think if you a going to bash imports like this kid did you at LEAST have to have a car to back it up. There are so many fast imports out there that would smoke that kids 305.

 

Haha, I'm just waiting for ShiftyCapone to come into this thread and post his very appropriate "Terrible. F."

I love when he does that, haha.

 

I do believe everyone here missed the point of the entire thread. My car body is an RS, it has an 87 350 TPI in it with bolt ons and a 125 shot of nitro, on street tires at this same track session I put down a 13.223 and a 14.00 with crap traction. This thread is for humor because I get tired of reading the threads where people are asking "what will it take to beat an SRT4" etc. etc. Then go on to say how it sucks so bad that they lost to this and that type of car. MY main problem with modern production cars is that they are getting more and more UGLY. I give props to the 2005 Mustang and some of the newer Dodge products coming out, they have a nostalgic look and look like a muscle car should. This whole post is a jab at cars that come from the factory R1CED and it's happening, coming to a car lot near you!!! I'm not making any claims to the speed of any import; yes, there are quick ones, yes there are people who love the way they look, yes they're in trend, I dont care. So for all those without a sense of humor who couldn't wait to jump on the bandwagon and tell me about how my car would get passed, how my story is BS, or any other assorted list of crap, have fun with the thread and relax guys life's funner when you laugh.

 

heh you said funner...heh

 

As for this "Kid" I'm 24 and my car can back itself up. I'm not even going to begin internet racing with everyone so come to Edgewater in Ohio if you need proof and look for the blue RS with 40 b plates, I get up there a few times every summer, this one's going to be no different. I don't know why everyone that's posted on here has to jump on my @ss telling me how gay this thread is it's a Fing joke get over it. The run did happen, I wans't on the street it was at Edgewater and I have no clue who the guy in the red SRT4 with the drag slicks was never talked to or arranged a race with him just ended up in the lane beside him. His car was plenty quick but wasn't able to best my 2.00 60 foot times; SUCK track. So if anyone want's to call me a kid, or call bull**** on a joke thread that started it's life as a JOKE I made at the track get over it. I guess every forum has to have there share of prudes and I just found out where they like to dwell.

 

teehee, my eclipse is faster than you

 

Fine by me your Eclipse is also a 92 and doesn't look bad in stock form. You didn't put a Samurai Sushi Katana Sword Mushuga whatever body kit and a skyskraper wing on it did you?

 

Eclipses have maintaned decent cosmetics throughout there production actually, the new ones look like mini vettes which to me is a step in the right direction for Mitsubishi.

 

k this thread is going no where. I suggest a mod lock this.

 

I'm actually going to suggest the same, the humor was definetly lost on this one, sorry guys.

 

Terrible. F-

 

yea this one needs to be locked .but fisrt 91slowrs i dont know how anyone could call a stock rs fast or for that matter say it can hold its own

 

yea, because it cant!

oh ya just to poke fun, my car is faster too, without any power adder.

 

OMG, id rather shoot myslef before i did that. all stock exterior.

i agree, this thread is going nowhere

 

Calling all mods, calling all mods.




To say ALL stock imports are slow you need to have something like a Viper to back it up. Cause some of those imports cook.

 

What exactly have you done to your LO3 to be able to let off at the 1/8 and still run a 15.3?

 

3000gt *cough*

 

He has a 350 tpi. I still think this whole story is bs. Why would anyone give up in the middle of a race lol. If you dislike a car so much the last thing you want to do is lose the race to the guy haha

 

What amazes me is he says he is only doing 13's with a 125 shot of Nitrous Oxide. sounds like something is wrong with the combo.

 

Whoops, I was looking at the information under his name.

 

Many guys here run high 13s with basic bolt ons.

 

lol i noticed that too 79.

kid, you suck if all run is a low 13 with a 125 shot of nitro

 

I bet there was no 125 shot of nitro.

 

my 100 shot on headers only tpi gave me 13 flat.

street tires too.
