You, sir, have no taste.

it's just because he doesn't have a car... if he had one he'd be taking the other side of the argument

Sod cars, I wuv my country's bullet trains. If only I was over there.

[Petrarch of the VBB]

I see a debate on materialism on the horizon...

[phreak]

ok stealth, here is your car:



it looks like a nice firebird, even though the filename says transam.  meh.  any decent mods?

[J3Vr6]

Never thought I'd see this thread here.  I love cars and have been racing/modding them for the last 10 years.

Right now I'm riding in a 2003 Nissan Altima 3.5 SE (picture below) that I got a few months ago.  Has 245 horsies, and too much torque for the stock tires.  Right now the only mod I have in it is a WAI (that's a warm air intake for those who don't know) w/ a wider intake midpipe and apexi racing filter.  I am definitely going to continue modding my baby and hope to get it in the 13's in a few months.

Plans for the car, in order of what's next:

Greddy cat-back exhaust
lighter/smaller underdrive pulley
ECM flash (if they finally crack our computers)
racing slicks
headers
lighter flywheel
racepipe (if the headers don't include it, depends which I go for)


I may not get all of those, but I hope to get close.  I know I won't be satisfied til I break into the 13's.

Here's my car:

ooh nice!

three questions:

1: engine displacement/configuration
2: manual or automatic
3: best 1/4 mile ET

Another with bad taste.  Which do you prefer, then?








Any?
Or perhaps this is more your speed, being European and all...



Unless of course, you do prefer the limited edition Jalope there...

[Ashrak]

okay, you take the evo 5, I'll 'settle' with an evo 8.

[Fineus]

If you want something done, do it yourself.. ok.. to squash your impressions about my love of European cars - how do you like these apples?


That's Japanese or something, isnt it?


Aston Martin Vanquish. I want one.


I want one of these as well. Jaguar E-Type. Great car (old, but look at it - it's a classic).


It doesnt have to be big to be sporty. Lotus Elise - a nice little car they stick together with glue (no kidding).

And finally...

Mine. (Well, one like mine - which is actually blue). It's small, slow and brilliant for a first time driver. Meh...

[Gloriano]

This one is
Dodge Viper

summer in LA i drived Viper

HELL YEA

and the first pic of yours is a Viper

[Fineus]

I know it is, I was making a joke/stab at the big American muscle cars on the rest of the thread

Oh, should mention, dad owned one of these...


Really nice car... reached 150mph on more than one occasion... smooth as hell to drive. Shame we sold it!

[phreak]

here's a car that may beat a viper in races



i so want one.  they're like 150 grand and available in 2005 IIRC
