    Default Beware!!!!! American muscle inside!

    I know I will probably get flamed like crazy because this isn't a civic or 240sx, but I would like to think that someone on here might actually appreciate a "real" car and the fact that this particular example is....well....a piece of art. Enjoy

    What's a fake car?

    Looks like your average WS6 all blacked out.

    "Real" car = performance car built from the factory....i.e. supra, rx-7, gtr, sti, evo, corvette, ect.....not some econo box that someone puts thousands of dollars into just to run low 14's.

    I looked all over the pictures in the first post, but couldn't find anything with any "muscle". Seemed that the car in those photos was missing the key thing that makes a car powerful and fast - the blue oval..... :-p

    Car looks mean!
    People always say how much money is needed to make a honda fast, but when it comes down to it, how much did you pay for your Mustang, Evo, Corvette? A Lambo can beat a corvette, a Corvette can smoke a civic, another civic can smoke the civic that beat a Lambo. It all depends on the individual car. Personally if i have all the money in the world, I will still drive a 90s Honda any day of the week.

    Then you seriously need to rethink your choice in cars. I'd be in a different car every day, and I'd never touch a Civic again if I had the ability to drive a Veyron everyday. You'd take a Civic over a Veyron? You haven't driven many cars.....

    My car has changed since the photo - it has the blue oval on the front again now, and always had it on the back hatch.

    Come to SGMP for Lights Out, and tell all the racers that..... 95% of them are auto, and the lowest is running 11's in the 1/4, and the 2000+hp cars are all auto. tell them they don't have "muscle".... :-)

    SC'ed 351W were available in the Saleens.

    I think that you might need a bigger turbo to handle the current setup in my foxbody. And that's with the engine that is in it right now. I'm getting ready to change the bottom end, as mine is hurt right now. The blue oval provides a lot of power....... :-)

    That's ok, my new engine hasn't even been ordered yet. Still gathering cash up for it. So he's ahead of me on getting his new setup in.

    Now, if he want's to make real power, we can still a FORD motor in his car.... :-p

    And now you can go faster - you have Ford parts making the car faster already!
    Just go ahead and stick a Ford motor in the car to go even faster! :-)

    Actually that set up is a bit old...about 2 years old. the old snail had to be upgraded as it kept running out of juice around 6400 rpms. Throw in a new cam and GTX4202R and I should be ready for the new season up at commerce.




    My other car is powered by chevy as well......doubt you could step up to it

    starter solenoid is why you keep a long screw driver in your car at all times.... and ford ignitions are garbage, gotta go push button.

    unfortunately however clean and nice those cars are....no they would not be considered "real" cars as per the definition i gave earlier. unfortunately unless your car runs 12's these days....you would be hard pressed to keep up with any modern "performance" car.
