Musclecar = morons

[Sheep]

I've had no less than 6 Mustangs and 2 Camaros. Maybe someday I'll own a Honda, just not in my lifetime.

What was the fastest 1/4 mile time you achieved with any of those cars?

But eventually its time to grow-up, move out, and buy a German car.

You ALSO should watch the Type R Legend video.

PS: American cars are cool in highschool, Japanese cars are cool in college. But eventually its time to grow-up, move out, and buy a German car.

I read this whole hijacked thread, should be renamed to the fanboy car page.

:zips up flame retardant suit:

I've seen your type R video also saw a minivan with NOS do low 13.'s on a strip. with the full interior just some riced up mods.

Now once you get your rear end firmly planted into an S4 and watch it slam dunk turns with 300+ hp.... IN THA SNOW!!!!!! FTW PWNZORZ l33t

Anyway I love cars from all countries, I'm just a comfort man and Kraut Karts do it right. They have the bawlz, the turns, the sexy look, and man oh man my butt feels great in that seat.

There are some cars that stand out from everywhere though. The GTO, classic power. Even more back in the way back Packard. What about the Pantera???

Fried rice makes some great stuff the coup legend (prior to the TL) was ahead of it's time and laterr BMW styled some lines from it. Look at the hood, you can almost see the kidneys there but the hood was then used in BMW styling. Supra 'nuff said there. Subaru, one of the most amazing machines ever even if the 180 engine is german-american design.

Italians do a good job too and bently... oh wait both owned by VW audi group tee hee my my never mind....

I’ve seen a lot of flame war threads like this on the internet and I think that it’s the kids who slap on the silly bolt on stuff that give imports a bad name, then when the flame war erupt they like to reference the “friends car” that was professionally built for racing. In high school I drove a 70 Chevy nova (a real hoopty at that) but with about $500 (= to the purchase price) of mods and some late night wrenching I could walk all over imports. Of course I didn’t have air conditioning or get better then 10MPG and the exhaust leaks were right under the hole in the floor board so I guess both have their ups and downs. Then I bought an A6 and it like an earlier poster said “we all grow up and get into a German car” and I could care less about both American and Japanese car.

hahahah now I drive a Malibu : (

Just wait for the new NSX. the old one handled like a dream, it just didn't have enough power to dominate the straights (300hp).

The NEW NSX.. 5.5L V10, 550hp, SH-AWD. There is a video of it dressed in S2000 sheet metal.

I'm a fan of at least some model of just about every car company in the world. If I was Bill Gates, I'd be driving a Lamborghini Diablo. But alas, I'm just a working stiff. One of the reasons that I love the Mustang, is that with the HUGE aftermarket, you can buy one, dump $10,000 worth of mods into it and blow away just about any BMW, Porsche or Audi on the road and still have spent $20,000 less. Does the Mustang have the feel and build quality of a BMW? Of course not. But that's not what I'm after.

Like I said, it's all a matter of what you're into.

Thanks for handeling that sir.

It was more only effect for those that did know. I was being sarcastic to the people who would know is more my drift.

Although you refered to it as "text speak" which I found interesting because of the comercials talking about my "BFF" and "TSNF" and other such text speak which is more built out of need to fit many words in short texts.

I was using geek speak or what is more commonly known as leet speak. Which means elite speak, stemming from some people being better(or elite) than others. It caught on big mostly in gaming comunities and certain exceptionaly nerdy forums. Some of you may remember back to old irc or warez sites. Bear share, and some of the old hackintosh comunities. Anyway I was aiming my comunication to the rice rocker guys who my guess are also avid gamers and would recognize my phrases.

I appologize for being verbose, this thread just became really funny to me. I see a bunch of die hard Amaracana vintage guys who's cars rock because THEY ROCK. And the rice boys who have the slide rule out talking about their flux capacitor handeling so many G's and it's all about drifting and so on....

Same plot different actors yet the Euro guys... well we know who we are... No need to prove the pedigree...

And if I was Bill Gates, a buggatti Veyron. That is one sweet machine. you can see a video or 2 on youtube, check for the one where tom cruise can't figure out how to park his... hillarious, and then the one from a show called top gear, or maybe fifth gear. Quite excelent... it's a pretty nice car, made in france i think... they can do something right from there I gues.. Oh wait.. no.. what's that.. YES VW audio group owns them too.... hrm.. there is a trend-a-brewin


Edit: ok i'm sorry i'm just in a goofy mood. I'm just trying to fire people up, don't take offence to anything I say because in the end, i would give anything for almost all the beautiful cars mentioned here... and I drive a cavalee-ai rigth now that makes an odd noise I can't describe... so yeah. I'm just being a jerk to rile folks up. I'm a car nut to the max. no disrespect Just pushing peoples buttons for fun.

As far as European cars go, give me an Audi RS4 anyday.

nice one. the S8 is more my dream... I love the gorgeous lines. The new one is nice but a few years back they made some amazing 8 cylinder s8's with an incredable bodykit.


If I could have any car though.. cost aside, just my type of care and not have to worry about gas...
aston martin vanquish, supercharged big 12 mmm sexy

lamborghini, mercialago(sp)

ford excursion deisel... only way I can take 12 friends and haul the hacht all at once, pluss plenty of back seat room for the ladies if i happen to break to fast and they need to change... I can even fit back there to help them.

I wish they tested it against a CBR1000RR. 650s are not that fast anymore.

Ok I watched the video and they say you can drive it on the road, but I guess what I’m asking is is it street legal in the US? $60k the shipping over seas plus other administrative costs is getting close to breaking the bank for a lot of people. Indeed it’s a nice car but I’m afraid were getting aware from reality here.
