What type of car do you like?

[DarkCloud]

What car do you drive? If you have more than one, pick the car you love the most. If you love all them, pick the one you drive the most.

[luck777jojo]

ok voted.... car I DRIVE the most

[DarkCloud]

I'm a big toyota fanatic.

[luck777jojo]

yeah you had that in your sig.... I remember ;) I remeber everything :158:

[thevilone]

Ford Mondeo :beard: , But i r still learning :p

[Felix]

Hell, I wish I was rich enough to get a Mercedes, Lexus, or BMW. My family drives Nissans.

[Malicious]

i drive a 2001 Mountaineer

[DarkCloud]

Wow, luck you got a good memory.

Nissans are excellent. I wish I could afford an 01 Maxima.

Well, if you just want a BMW, 1980 BMW's are pretty cheap.

Mondeo? never heard. What kinda car is it?

[bigtimestuff]

Honda Accord= Wrecked it.
Ford Probe= Wrecked it.
Toyota Camry= Wrecked it but its still drivable.

Im still trying to total the camry so i can get a new one :P

[thevilone]

http://www.ford.co.uk/ie/mondeo/-/- , Nice cars . But as the name says Very mundane . GTA 1 had the cars mundano Based from them i believe . Dream car would probably be a stang , skyline r34 or an Evo . me drools :D

[bigtimestuff]

dream car= Astin Martin Vanquish.

[thevilone]

i would rather buy a DB7 and tune it up than buy a vanquish :( . would be alot cheaper in the end up

[bigtimestuff]

Well i dont kno waht a DB7 is but if your gonna make it as good as an Astin martin either way yuor gonna have to have some serious moola`. I also like the 1950's Mercedes Gullwing. Its shaped similar to a Porsche and has doors that open up like bird wings. Only costs 350,000.

[Malicious]

DreamCar = Porshe 911 turbo

[DarkCloud]

the cars I'm gunning for:
-BMW 1988 CSI (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2410137714&category=6129)
-Acura 1992 Legend (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2410415943&category=5336)
-Nissan 1996 300ZX (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2410668135&category=6398#mainImage)
-Toyota 1994 Supra (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2410529710&category=6447)

I know I can never afford the last two

[Felix]

Yea, same here, but they are nice as hell.

[thevilone]

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2410123607&category=6236

Just noticed this on ebay :)

[Felix]

Wow..thats nice..only 16 grand too. 14035 miles pretty low, it would last for awhile. Thats a deal.

[luck777jojo]

I bet the reserve is quite a bit higher then 16000 so...... don't expect it to go that cheap ;)

[thevilone]

i could probably go into a dealership and buy the same model for around £14000 (uk) But then again for £47000 i could get a skyline R-34 gtr :). But i ain't rich :p

[DarkCloud]

wait, 47000 pounds? british pounds?

[thevilone]

Yep , 47 grand from auto trader :D , worth every penny though

[DarkCloud]

OMFG! in us dollars that $94,000 USD!

That literally can buy you a really hot sports cars like
-the Dodge Viper,
-Lexus SC430TT,
-1998 Limited Edition Toyota Supra [only 50 made in the entire world!],
-Grand National GNX with enough modifications can slam up to 1k Horse Power at the WHEEL!
-the Legendary Toyota MR2 SW20 [F1 RACER!]
-Mazda RX-8 MAXED OUT!
-the Almighty Ford Mustang Shelby
-the ungodly Corvette Sludge Hammer with QUAD TURBO CHARGERS! Do you know how many cars that can handle that much power! NONE!

*knees feeling weak at the thought of having any of these cars*

[Felix]

On that ebay link
Current bid US $16,000.00 (reserve not yet met)

Time left Auction has ended.

Started Apr-04-03 14:17:39 PST

16 grand. The mileage is 14035. But your right, the reserve will prob go alot higher. If not, the seller is an *****. Makes you think why he is selling it.

[Unreal OwnZ U]

I drive a '94 Toyota Supra w/Twin Turbo, and my Honda 1100.

;)

[bigtimestuff]

Hmm..Lets go steal that mustang then take turns driving it!:p

[DarkCloud]

The mustang isn't bad. The handling could improve with a front cross strut tower bar. The sound system leaves a lot to be desired.

Its a blue ribbon ricer. [All show || No Go]

[Elac]

I drive a 97 Honda Civic DX. I like it gets me where im going and is nice.

[bigtimestuff]

Musatang isnt bad?! What are u driven? Id take rok the mustang over my shitty toyota camry in a heartbeat! Im getting a 1999 Land Rover in a couple months though.:cool:

[DarkCloud]

I was refering to the ebay mustang car hehe

Camry?! Ever seen that Camry Commercial "My Car"?

My car is for drifting not racing hehe

[bigtimestuff]

No i dont remeber seeing it but i bet it was a boring couple of middle aged white peoples dressed like golf players on thier way to church cause camries are so boring and main stream i want to puke.

[DarkCloud]

Nope not really. Someone drifts [slides] like crazy in the camry doing insane drifting.

if you don't know what's drifting: Here's the explanation (http://streetracing.tiora.net/japan/drift/drift1.htm)

In the commercial he does so many insane tricks with it that only the heavily experienced can do it. One example is that he has the car in reverse then the car drifts doing a 180 and goes forward. That is a lot of work!

[thevilone]

The exchange rate is about 1.63 or something round abouts , not 2 :p

Thast actually ratehr cheap for a skyline , Then again you could import it from japan and save a few grand . Shame they stopped making em :(

[DarkCloud]

47,000GBP = 73,852.23USD

That still could buy most of the cars on the list. well, not the viper though :p

[luck777jojo]

Originally posted by DarkCloud

that's only possible in a standard transmission car and is hard as hell..... lots of gear changes and lots of spinning the wheel, very difficult.... although a full 360 is even more difficult ;)

[DarkCloud]

90's aren't hard at all, I do them all the time on my automatic transmission corolla hehe

[luck777jojo]

yeah well a 90 isn't a 360 or even a 180.... as soon as you're doing more then 90 you require a manual cause automatic just won't let you do it ;)

[DarkCloud]

hmm... well, guess I'll need a rear wheel standard transmission car. But I'll ask the vvti forums about it.

[bigtimestuff]

Ive done 360s in my camry... i was in snow of course. its scary as hell when you can steer it any more:confused: :D

[luck777jojo]

yeah well we're talking about skid pad or gravel for 360s and pavement or any one of those two for the 180s..... that's quite a bit more difficult... when it's done in the snow it's actually called "spin out" and that's just considered an accident usually ;)

[bigtimestuff]

Of course your talking about pavement if i tried taht in my camry on pavement itd crack in half. Not an accident though on snow. Havnt yah heard of doughnuts? An extreme sport in its own right i think:classic:

[luck777jojo]

hehe a porsche is good for that.... the 911 is good, statistically the Carrera 4 C4S would be awesome at that.

[DarkCloud]

hehe if you think that's awesome try it with the legendary ae86 [1986 corolla] hehe those are legendary for their handling capabilities and drifting power

luck- check your pms

[Malicious]

hell i had an old civic once. When i was done the only letters left were -i--c
lol

[DarkCloud]

hehe

Drifting is definitely an extreme sport [extremely expensive!] lol

but definitely fun to do.

[luck777jojo]

yeah extremely expensive it right you can wreck your car pretty good doing that :p

[DarkCloud]

Yeah I blown away my struts doing 90 drift for about a good 40ft. that cost me 86 dollars but thank goodness for lifetime warranty on the struts!

[o({})o]

Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution....... errrr...... I forget the number....... It is relatively new and just got approved here in America, as the Japanese version was only slightly modified form the rally superlight.

[masterc]

I ain't drivin yet, but in a few years I will.
And then I'll drive my dads BMW M3 :classic:

[o({})o]

My dad drives a sh*t waggon....... No other thing to describe it ;).....

The car is terrible, but mine is pretty good, 350 horsepower. They here me pulling up in the parking lot ;)

[masterc]

If my dad starts his BMW in the garage, the whole house is shaking. :classic:

[DarkCloud]

Lancer EvoVI or EvoIV?

Sweet... an M3 is a great racing car lotsa horse power and good handling. Body kits available for it are awesome.

[bigtimestuff]

Yah i know someone that has an m3=
Very solid almost boxy design. I like all the BMWs for thier functional type designs. Mercedes adds too much while trying to make it look "posh"

[DarkCloud]

Oh then you know how the 1986 635-CSI looks like :p

<- CSI freak

[bigtimestuff]

hehe no offense just my opinion. But one of my dreamcars is a mercedes Gullwing. The CSi doesnt ring a bell (im not an afficiando) do you have a pic?

[DarkCloud]

-BMW 1988 CSI (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2410137714&category=6129)

That is how a CSI looks like. I haven't found a 1986 one yet. But this looks so much better.

How does a Gullwing look like?

[bigtimestuff]

O duh your talking about a csi beemer not some mercedes.

heres some dorks sitting in one.

[luck777jojo]

I have to say IMHO the mercedes looks better then the BMW

[DarkCloud]

No offense, but it looks so small and so short. What are the engine specs?

[bigtimestuff]

Well i think i squashed the image a littlt to make it fit, but yah its pretty small and short. Its designed very similarly to a porsche and has that curved sloping type back. Um im not sure waht the engine specs are but its from the 50s so not that powerful although it was designed as a racing car for that time period. Nowadays its basically just a showcar. They're to expensive to race anyways unless your uber~rich.

[luck777jojo]

eah the race car for porsche during that time period is extremely similar to this one.

[DarkCloud]

Yeah, probably back then, they thought having 100 horse power would be a lot.

[luck777jojo]

hey those cars still look cool..... but heh... if you want an awesome car get a 2002 lambourghini diablo SE (the special edition ones aren't as "blockish" as the normal ones and they have alot more HP)

[DarkCloud]

Yeah but for the same price I could fix up a supra or a viper to beat it. Diablo's are more name than go.

<- saw a race where a viper destroyed a diablo :(

[bigtimestuff]

I always wanted a diablo when i was a kid. Now i would rather have one of those ferrais with a glass shild over its engine so you can see in. When it comes to cars like taht im striclty interested in aesthietics. I mean unless you live next to the auto bahn or something you cant really use those last few hundred horses. ;)

[DarkCloud]

The Autobahn... oh that would be racer heaven.... *dreams*

Too bad in europe there are a lot of US Illegal cars there. :( that means I would expect to see cars that are ungodly fast there. Cars that could destroy my precious supra :( cars that would leave a highly modified viper in the dust.

On the autobahn, if you're going too slow, they pull you over and give you a ticket for that lol

[bigtimestuff]

you sound like youd like to try one of those F1 racing courses. Ill probly consider doing one once im out of college:alien:

[out.DarkCloud]

yeah, just as long as I could race with tons of other cars. That would be so very fun!

[luck777jojo]

the fastest car that I have even seen or seen statics of was a camaro with a modified engine (enlarged cylinders) it beat the diablo hands down..... but hehe..... unless you're gonna race en I'd rather have a nice name car.... so that everyone is awed by it :p

[out.DarkCloud]

hehe

You should've seen this one interesting race. Viper -vs- Neon.

the NEON WON! unbelievably, it won. Probably had NOS under the hood hehe

[luck777jojo]

hehehe kinda like the turtoise and the hare :p

but yeah that neon would have to be pretty damn suped up if it beat the viper, or else the viper had a fake engine :p

[DarkCloud]

Yeah, but probably once the race was over, it was a $19,000 paper weight cause NOS forces the owner to rebuild the entire engine every 5-10 races. So NOS isn't worth it unless your racing for a slip on a car that doesn't use NOS.

[luck777jojo]

hey it would be worth it to beat a viper in a neon :p ;)

[DarkCloud]

hah! true true!

It was also in a video. The guy saw the neon beating a viper and he said, "Hey, is that a neon?" His friend reply, "yeah." "What the F*.." [end of video with neon passing the finish line] HA! One of my all time favorite videos!

[Felix]

The race had to be fixed. Unless it was a viper underneath with a Neon outside.

[out.DarkCloud]

Not really, with enough modifications and enough money any car can be as fast as any other.

I think the neon was using some illegal stuff like Nitrous Oxcide (NOS). Highly unstable and highly explosive.

[luck777jojo]

a few nitro boosts might actually be enough for a neon to beat a viper on a short track.

[DarkCloud]

a couple of shots of NOS could push a viper to hit close to 1500 hp. But then again, the engine would die after a couple more shots hehe

[Felix]

How long was the track? (if you said this before I'm sorry)

[bigtimestuff]

Im not surprised a neon can beat a viper with all the modifications that can be made to it. people race neons all the time in street races. Did you ever see that one documentary on MTV on street racing?

[Malicious]

Yeah, Kinda made u think though. I mean they were all crying when they thought that kid was dead. I use to race my mustang but got out of that mode, now im a gas hog with me SUV

[DarkCloud]

I believe it was half a mile run. I'm starting to grow out of my racing phase. Not much races and the price of gas is eating away at my wallet.

I wish I could've seen the documentary. The only kinda racing documentary I've seen is the over hyped and over produced the Fast and the Furious.

When 2 Fast 2 Furious comes out, you're going to see a whole lot of racer cars in the parking lot.

*grabs a crowbar waiting for that movie to come out* heh

[bigtimestuff]

*LOL* Crful a friend of mine actually got in big trouble for that,but thats another story..

Yah Im looking forward to that new F&F2. I wonder though with how mainstream the racing scene looks to be going now if it'll make it harder for racers in the future.

[luck777jojo]

personally I'm not that much into the racing stuff.... I just don't see the point of it

[bigtimestuff]

other than moutain bikes and err.. running, I never got into racing either. Alot of it probably had to do with lack of funds at the time too. I think alot of the appeal has to do with the adrenaline and underground feeling of community. Of course all that comes at a very dangerous cost...

[luck777jojo]

yeah "dangerous cost" like emmm...... possibly killing yourself and maybe someone else as well.... see that's the thing.... if it just was a risk to yourself then I wouldn't be against it but... it's not, it's a risk to others as well.

[DarkCloud]

Well, each and everyday we take risks.

What keeps the car from hitting you when youre crossing the street on foot or a car is a light that glows red.

You take risks when you cross the street, sit infront of a box that emits radiation...

every day is a risk we take. every choice we make has its reactions.

The thing I noticed is, "We live like the next day is guaranteed."

[bigtimestuff]

Yah im one that believes in taking risks just for the sake of letting go of a little control. Thats why i like sports like mountain biking and climbing, that adrenaline rush can make you forget who you are and feel "alive". thats why i want to take one of those racing courses. Just as long as your not hurting anybody cause tahts not cool either.:squareeye

[DarkCloud]

Sometimes when I race someone in my car, I feel my heart beating so fast, my foot starts twitching revving up the engine really hard. All I could see is the straight away infront of and the light winding down green-yellow-red-[my] green light.

The engine screams with the tires screeching against the floor. The path ahead of me is clear as my soul races down the black paved track.

Even when I'm racing against a car I know I damn well will lose, I give it my all and my car gives nothing short of what I given it. 0-10-30-50-65-80. The quarter mile run is over and win or lose, the race is nevertheless a story worth telling.

[bigtimestuff]

Nice. Sounds like a real rush. Kinda reminds me of barreling down a rocky mountain trail on a mountain bike going 35 mph with the wind ripping at your clothes and tears filling your eyes. Then hitting that jump that makes you weightless as you fly downwards. And finally coming back down to earth with an awakening jolt as your tires slam into the ground. Sik stuff. Course ive paid my price for experiences like that. 4 shoulder surgeries later and its all still worth it.:bandit:

[luck777jojo]

as long as noone else is in danger it's all ok.

[DarkCloud]

Ofcourse, the only thing that is hurting is how much the gas and maintenance on my car on my wallet hehe

[bigtimestuff]

waht do yah think of the electric cars? I think itd be nice to get all that extra mileage.

[luck777jojo]

personally I'm for the hydrogen cars ;)

[bigtimestuff]

Hydrogen cars? How do those work?

[blAtCh]

mileage doesn't matter, when your driving a caddy', it cost a lot of money for gas, and not to mention the countless "burning rubber" and the few drags(too many police these days). I'll scan a pic of mah caddy when i can D:

[luck777jojo]

Originally posted by bigtimestuff

they use hydrogen instead of gasoline to create power and then when hydrogen is mixed with oxygen all it leaves behind is pure H20

[bigtimestuff]

thatd be nice if they figured out a way to make those mass produced. Electric cars are already out but i dont like how they look:/

[luck777jojo]

supposedly the Hydrogen cars are better at accelerating and stuff then same class gas cars

[bigtimestuff]

hmm im gonna have to start picking up Road and Track again to catch up on these. Has any major make put out a prototype yet?

[luck777jojo]

well I think Honda has already.... I'm not sure about Toyota.

[bigtimestuff]

yah they are maken them now. Looks like mercedes and honda. dont know about toyota. heres a story with pics. Il ke the hinda vers. thebest.

http://www.cnn.com/2002/TECH/ptech/10/09/fuelcell/

[DarkCloud]

I wouldn't want to ride a hydrogen powered car cause of the word, "hydrogen".

Whenever I think of that car, I think I'm riding ontop of a hydrogen bomb. One hit to that hydrogen cell and... well, let's just say, they won't find your body!

[bigtimestuff]

hehe BOOM but i think thell clear all that hydrogen bomb stuff up before selling them to people.

[DarkCloud]

Hydrogen always has and always will be a very explosive and highly unstable element. That is what gets me so worried about "hydrogent" powered cars. *shakes* its like one whole city loaded up with nukes ready to blow!

It might as well as be a domino effect. One car blows... the entire city goes [BOOM!]

[bigtimestuff]

ROFL i think you might be a little paranoid on that one. but yah hydrogens some nasty sh*t.

[DarkCloud]

Paranoid eh?

Hydrogen bomb = 10 x Nukes

[bigtimestuff]

if you could have any used car for 15,000 or below what would it be?

[DarkCloud]

hmm.... I would have to say....

Sports car:
93 Pontiac Firebird Premier Edition
93 Lexus SC300TT [2nd place]
92 Chevy Syclone [5 second truck!]
92 Toyota Supra [1st place if I could only chose one car]
91 Mazda RX-7 [Third Gen]
90 Nissan 240sx converted to the Nissan Skyline GTR [if that's possible under 15k hehe]
90 Nissan 300zx [3rd]
86 BMW 635-CSI

Luxury cars:
98 Nissan Maxima [1st]
97 Toyota Camry [3rd]
92 Lexus ES300 [2nd]
90 Acura Legend [4th]

How about you?

[bigtimestuff]

just a 1996 BMW Z3 convertible. I actually found one for $14999. :)

[luck777jojo]

Originally posted by DarkCloud

well that only works with highly concetrated hydrogen..... the hydrogen used in these cars is not as concentrated..... therefore it disipates in the air faster.... this actually makes it more safe then gas cars, since gas can ignite and because that hydrogen disipates so quickly it has no time to ignite ;)

[bigtimestuff]

Yah i dont want i beat a dead donkey or something but i still doubt they are gonna sell H-bombs on wheels lol. People would have to wear those bomb squad suits everytime they drove and that would be very uncomfortable. ;)

[DarkCloud]

hmm... well, I would still like electric cars more than hydrogen cars.

[luck777jojo]

at this time , electric cars are still not quite developped, plus hydrogen cars also produce something good for us (pure H2O) and with the unsalted water reserves dropping, some H2O is a good idea ;)

[DarkCloud]

I wonder how a turbo charge would look for an electro or hydro car would look and feel like.... :p sounds like a good idea hehe

[bigtimestuff]

The electric cars that are out now already get double to tripple the m/p/g of normal cars. They are pretty effective already. I would just like to see them get faster:bandit:

[luck777jojo]

those cars aren't electric they're hybrid, they use both electricty/gas to run.

[bigtimestuff]

thats waht i meant:p

[DarkCloud]

yeah, but they seem not allowed on high ways... they need higher displacement and probably a turbo charge that will last long enough on the highways hehe

[bigtimestuff]

where are they not allowed on the highways. They can go 65 if they need to.

[rito]

k wtfux

why is mitsubishi in the same category as GM??

i drive an '87 camaro, currently 2.8L, cuz paying insurance at the age of 18 for an 8 cylinder would seriously suck. but why .... why mitsubishi and GM in the same category? O_o

[DarkCloud]

I thought GM was a branch of Mitsu.

[Sk1n W4lk3r]

i drive a 1967 Ford Mustang hehe my pride and joy!

[rito]

O_o` .... nice :)

[DarkCloud]

cobra, saleen or shelby?

[bigtimestuff]

I want that vintage Aston Martin Bond drives in the begining of GoldenEye. Anyone want to buy it for me?:rolleyes:

[Sk1n W4lk3r]

shellllbyyyy!!!!!!!!! yay! one of the rareist cars.. maybe not too cool cuz its a coupe... but its extremely rare to find a shelby mustang coupe (yes, they did make them, but only a couple hundred) heh so i have a rarity and it still looks badass btw they didnt make saleens back in the 60's, and a shelby and a cobra are the game thing :cheeky:

[DarkCloud]

oh well, I"m not much of an american car fanatic. Learning new things every day

[Rookie-1]

It's nice to see someone talking about a 60's car.....between the 60's to 70's they produced some of the highest horse power in stock motors....without nos & turbo.....mostly fuel injected....those were the days....O now I guess i'm showing my age...LOL...nothing better than going 0-60 in 4 seconds.....doing 10 sec through the quarter mile.....the smell of burnt nitro.....those were the days......LOL

[DarkCloud]

yeah, its terrible how the trend of the engines went from high horse power to a sudden drop...

100hp seems like nothing in the 60's and now seems like a lot....

[nightmare]

[Sk1n W4lk3r]

yea, i love classic cars. i got to just about every car show within the right half of the US. theres a thing here in MI called the woodward dream cruise... they get people that fly in from europe to see this shit its so awesome. its on woodward avenue, and u can cruise the ave or park ur car on the grass (for a minimal fee) for everyone to talk the street and see. its 13 miles straight of cars lined up on the raod, then theres all the ones cruising. soo much fun. they all have to be classics or theyre not allowed. hehee i luv it

Oh your rich? Im still looking for a new/used car under 15000. Was gonna get a landrover but decided against it cause there are no repair shops for them around here. I still want something kind of different though. :alien:

[DarkCloud]

What are looking for? Performance? Style? Class?

[bigtimestuff]

hmm how about style heh, actually im not quite sure waht i want yet. Was thinking about an SUV but all my friends drive like jeeps and explorers and stuff. I just want something different, a little unique maybe. Was looking at an old Z3 but those are a little flashy really for my tastes and it also had bout 70000 miles on it. Ill proabably end up getting a utility vehicle or something with 4 doors at least.

[DarkCloud]

Try the Syclone. a 5 second race car... err... truck hehe

[bigtimestuff]

K ill check it out. Never really been a truck fan though. I dont do much "hauling"

[DarkCloud]

Well, its unique to its class since its one of the best racers out there. It can eat a civic alive! hehe

[nightmare]

Toyota 92 Corolla - Its a very unique car if you knew the history of corollas.

No I dont know it can you post a pic of it here plz?

[Sk1n W4lk3r]

hm... a lil different... well, if u wanted to add another zero to ur price... u could get a new Ford GT (GT-40) for $150,000 this summer :)

[DarkCloud]

Isn't that the car that looks kinda like a ferrari?

[o({})o]

Don't compare the gt to a ferrari....... the gt is a ferrari killer :).

[DarkCloud]

they cost about nearly the same and probably have the same room for the passenger hehe

Ferrari and Diablo is way too slow in comparison to the Dodge Viper and The Toyota Supra.

Both of them cost less than 100k hehe

[Sk1n W4lk3r]

heres the actual stats: (lol i read popular science)

Ferrari 360 Modena [Ford GT is in ()]

hmmm I dunno the RPM and the 0-60 look better on the ferrari..... and well.... if you're not planning to race it on long tracks then a better 0-60 would usually win over higher speed, and finally from an economical POV, the ferrari eats less gas, way less gas actually :p

[DarkCloud]

Are you talking about stock?

Oh yeah The ford GT-40 has a governer on it set to 185mph. Hell if you wanted to remove the limiter and have an all out competition, you better get ready for cars like the SkyLine GTR! hehe

Taking off the governer is basically taking off the glove...

Do you mean,that you then can go as fast as you want?

[DarkCloud]

As fast as the engine would allow without limits programmed into the motherboard of the car.

Governers are designed to make cars street legal and keep them within a speed range designated for that class of vehicle. But I really believe its more so to keep fast cars slower than cop cars. In California and well, most major cities across the US, cop cars have turbo chargers atleast a general amount of them have turbos while others have supers...but the turbos are installed into cop cars so that they are able to catch up to the really fast cars.

Cars like the Grand National, Skyline GTR-32, GTR-33 and 34, Mitsubishi Lancer Evo-R, and the Toyota Supra MKVII & MKVIII, and so many other cars were not allowed in the US anymore because they were too fast to keep up with. Grand National had to stop production [way too fast] because cops were having a hard time keeping up.

Why dont they make the cop cars faster then?

[DarkCloud]

Well, I don't think crown victorias can match up to the standard issued rice racer car, the civic. Throw in several easy parts to find like a Weapon-R Dragon Intake, Turbine Exhaust, Redo the entire exhaust manifold to increase it about 1/2", and drop a small turbo charger in there for immediate boost and that lightly modified Civic will easily destory a crown victoria at its maximum setting.

Now as you know, most people who race civics don't stop at just those four mods, they go all out. Some even to the extent as to drop in a GSR engine under there and work their way from there. Those who are rich and insane enough would put 5-15 shots [NOS] in there.

To tell the truth I only understand half of it.(I dont have any knowledge of cars).

[bigtimestuff]

Theres an infamous story of a drug trafficer in the midwest who drives a black modified lambougihini at night with no headlights on and wears only night vision goggles to see. They say he transports the junk ultra fast and if the cops see him he just leaves them in the dust of hides in some corn fields since he has no lights on. hehe. Seems like it would just attract attention to me.

I don't think there is enough space in that car to traffic that many drugs. But how can he tell the diff between a red light and a green light? lol It will look all the same colors to him :p

Maybe hes racing on the highway or so?Not many traffic lights there.

[bigtimestuff]

yah mostly a highway thing probably. The idea is that he goes like 150 the whole time so he transports them real fast. Like a delivery guy or something. So maybe he doesnt have to carry large amounts. Heh ive never used night vision though so i dont know if you can tell diff in green and red.

[DarkCloud]

I would have to say that dude is an IDIO.T! If he wants to traffic large amounts, he could go in one of those Plymouth Caravans the one with the wooden sidings and fix it up for racing. I've seen one of those eat a viper LMAO!

[bigtimestuff]

BAAHAHAH! thats some funny sh8t. while you at it why not just fix up a bigass RV give it some jet engines and rocket launchers and then you can just blow the pigs away. LOL!

[luck777jojo]

hahahaha...... that reminds me of spaceballs :p BEST MOVIE EVER!!!!! ;)

[DarkCloud]

aww.... now you took my idea on how he would live on the run :(

[meuh]

meh i ride a bmx o_O

SPACEBALLS! OMFG SOOOOO FUNNY I SWEAR IVE SEEN IT OVER 500 times

[bigtimestuff]

hail to spaceballs :) that flying rv would actually be my dreamcar. only if it came with a fatguy in a dog suit though. He'd be my body guard/cook.

[DarkCloud]

That's a strange and awkward movie.... But hey it was funny :D Who wouldn't want a big fat guy in a dog suit as their body guard and cook? hehe

[luck777jojo]

the whole point of it was to be strange and awkward :p

BTW anyone know if "Robin Hood: Men in Tights" was directed by the same director or something, it has alot of the same type of jokes in it and lots of the same actors so that kinda got me thinking

'they' o_O
Those men in white coats? lmfao.

Back on topic, you know they made a road legal car faster than the McLaren F1? Just remembered ;)

[DarkCloud]

Road legal in the US or outside of the US?

[Syphon]

Dunno about US, they seem to be a bit picky. As road legal as the F1, I know that.

name = Koenigsegg CC (Swedish)

[DarkCloud]

From the looks of it, its a combination of three or four cars

-Toyota MR2 (base design)
-Lamborghini Diablo
-Corvette Rear
-Acura Integra headlines

[bigtimestuff]

Arnt the Mclareans the ones that cost a million a pop?

[DarkCloud]

not really, they're pretty much cheaper than that. But hell, the ammount a McClaren costs, I could've completely rebuilt a supra to the point where it will basically eat any car on the road. [ofcourse that would make it street illegal] lol

[bigtimestuff]

I found the new ones actually do cost 1mil plus! omg! Thats like a fleet of 30 bmw c classes. It says tehre are only 7 of them in the u.s.a. Ralph lauren and jay leno have 2 of them. Luky dogs.

[DarkCloud]

McClarrens aren't really practical though. Its built for speed and not comfort. I saw a race between two rich people in Japan. McClaren F1 -vs- Toyota Supra. THe supra only lost by .01 seconds. but in a race that split second makes a world of a difference.

[bigtimestuff]

Yahyah true not very practical. Course if im a multimillionaire im not really thinking practical. Im thinking about where to put the McDonalds in my backyard and where to store my blimp. But heh yah unless i get very luky i wont be buying a Mclaren, a Supras alot more likely.

[tony_montana]

What do you guys think of OPEL?

[Syphon]

Nah, not bad i suppose. I cant say i really like any of their cars.

I would have a phat Supra over a McLaren F1 any day. Supra is far more pimp!

[bigtimestuff]

We dont have Opels here in america. Are those the cars in the chase scene in Ronin? Hmm i dont thin they are but I think I mightve seen some opels in that movie.

Im not sure if they were that in that movie cuase I dint saw it!
But you can easly recinize opels by the frond there is an stearweel sign with an lighting flash trough it!

[bigtimestuff]

Arnt they economy cars or something? I think the chase scene cars started with a V... they are really cool looking I should remember this.

As far as I know Opels arent used for racing so I dont think that where Opels in the movie.

[bigtimestuff]

I think an opel is proabaly like a ford tauras. an economy car.

[aapje]

hyundai excel 1.2 hehe :)

[Syphon]

Opel is the other bits of Europe name for what people in the UK call a Vauxhall. Normally, yes the cars are economy, however there are racing versions (touring cars) of some of the cars such as the Opel Astra and Calibra.

Sounds like a sports car mostly because of the part "GTi 16V" most muscle cars like mustangs have that sort of descript so I would guess a muscle sports car

[bigtimestuff]

Anybody ever watch MTV cribs? What that European car that robbie williams is driving? Looks wiked.

[Felix]

I saw that one. Holy shit they all looked sweet. Which one though, he also had the motercycle which was the only one in the US or something.

[bigtimestuff]

Yah the episode in the big castle? Well i dont rember the motorcycle but i was talkni bout that car with the sik blusih metallic paintjob, had some foreighn name, looked like a spotscar. Also had a kind of rounded back like a porsche. I might do horrible things to get ahold of one of those.:cool:

[luck777jojo]

just go onto ebay.com I'm sure that a similar model is there up for auction, you can find almost anything on ebay :p ;)

[DarkCloud]

Not really anything but more so, most of the world. I have only found 10 CSI's only :(

And I didn't find this one CD I was hoping to find.

[Sk1n W4lk3r]

i have had 4 names ofm ine banned from eBay. i tried to sell Iraq for $2.48, and i had one bid but they closed the auction and sent me an angry email . apparently, you arent allowed to sell other countries if they dont belong to you. i tried to sell my famiyl the second time. but youre 'not allowed to sell living animals/humans' another time i tried to sell my virginity, and thta one lasted the full time, when the final bid was at $18.94 with 13 bids lmao but eBay kicked me out once again, then a fourth time i just tried to sell my thanks and grattitude. they havent banned me from that one yet. the auction ended, but they havent banned me yet.

[bigtimestuff]

LOL You are stupid! Haha sell you family thats funny. But I wouldnt kno what car to look for since i dont kno its name.

[luck777jojo]

well just look through all the sports cars section I'm pretty sure that it's gonna be one of those, or else you'll find another cool car instead ;) :p

[DarkCloud]

nothing will ever replace the supra for me :D unless its those two other cars I mentioned hehe

[Syphon]

Yeah Supra is mad, too bad they become illegal in the US when you make them too good. :p

[DarkCloud]

Oh they are legal. But the problem is are they street legal hehe

Most of the too good cars come out at night anyways and find a drag strip. Unfortunate and forturnate for me, I live by one. If I want to watch something like the real life Fast and the Furious I just look out the window hehe.

[Granhammer]

I cant say that I drive a car yet but I would love to drive around in a Audi A6 that would do.

hehe that would be quite cool actually, just gotta make sure you have nicely insolated windows so that you don't get woken up during the night when you're not in the mood to check those out ;)

[DarkCloud]

hehe yeah

I like watching the races. My area looks pretty good for a drag strip. I'm going to do a map of it for UT2k3 once I understand how to work with the mapping tool.

[bigtimestuff]

My friends getting a lancer gonna tweak it out. :)

[SolidusSnake]

Well as im 15, I dont drive a car.
But I can tell you what car my parent drive.

My mother drives a Yellow BMW Z3 and my dad drives a silver/blue BMW 3.20

I aint joking heh, we got them for about 3-4 years now.

[bigtimestuff]
