    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.

    Exactly. Hotwheels, Matchbox and a slew of other companies make fake cars. Any car tagged and insured (and some not, of course) and on the road are all real cars.

    And "muscle cars" go through to the 80s. Later, QD.

    "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

    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".... :-)

    this is true, i grew up in drag racing and 99% of muscle cars have an automatic trans and they beat the hell out of anyone there with a manual trans. plus a manual trans looks like shit when going down the track when an automatic just glides down it..

    Many use Auto due to how difficult it can be to launch a manual. Then pull down the straight away shifting and keeping it straight on the track is another feat.

    What's wrong with that? If he's competing in 1/8 or 1/4 mile bracket racing like most muscle cars, consistency is key.

    After a while people on this site seem to develop some sense. You on the other hand are still as useless as before.

    A stock lt1 camaro might run a 13.9 in Denver Colorado on slicks with John Force driving it with a 15mph wind gust at his back.

    @Chad
    Nope but I do know that I would drive an integra/civic fully modified to my taste, and park it next to my Pagani at the end of the day.

    -considering I had all the money in the world stated in my OP

    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.....

    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
