And last point worth noting is simply that AutoX is much more driver then car.

yeah.. but it's still racing is it not? and the fact that it's a driver's race should say a lot for fwd cars.. if they pick them to go fast in the twisties they must be doing so for a reason..

also, auto-x often turns into a "contact sport" .. with rwd cars, a slight bump entering a corner can cause a spin-out. fwd cars handle contact a little better.

And I guess I dont get how a car that's slower then mine like a VR4 or Skyline would walk all over my car, but I guess in your video games they would. So it must be true.....

actually ry, to be honest with you a skyline (i'm talking gt-r32 here) would beat your camaro. awd turbo with an incredible traction control system.. i mean wow. it's a mean car no matter how much you wanna belittle them. the car was built for a track.. (literally)

the vr4? it might beat you, but you can be sure that something will break soon if it did





and as to your other comment about auto-x being somehow a 'lesser' form of racing.. it might not be as big as drag or oval track, but it's a helluva lot more fun.

weaving in and out of a pack thru switchbacks and chicanes(sp?) is a lot more exciting that making a left turn every 45 seconds.. haha

So you boys sleep tight believing that because your civics get better gas mileage or handle better in the snow or have more of a showing @ AutoX are a better performance car and Ill laugh my slightly innebriated ass off.

Actually skyline's, VR4's, Supra's, 240's S2k's, Prelude's, all considered super cars if done right. Ohh how could I forget the RX7. Your camaro cost 4k? Congrats, its still an ugly domestic that uses way too much gas and gives very low power numbers. Your car is faster than mine, big deal, my car is also better on gas, and insurance. Im glad you think skyline's and Vr4's are overated, even tho they have 2 cylinders less than your car, and they are completely stock and would just walk right the hell over your shitty domestic gas guzeling "amazing" machine. Not to mention camaro's are one of the most seen cars and most of which are the crap tastic V6 auto models.

Ill post more hearsay and conjecture later, but since when is AutoX a contact sport??

And VR4s are heavy as hell and have amazing drivetrain losses. Not to mention the reliability issues. Come on, it's a piece of shit that's not worth the money. And for everyone who wants to compare my Camaro to a GTR.... wow, really shows my cars value at 4K when you cant get a road legal skyline in the US for anywhere near that.

have you ever been to an auto-x race? when you have a thick pack of cars going thru corners they often bump each other.. those rear quarter panel bumps can be disasterous for cars, especially rwd. when braking for the corner, the weight is transfered to the front making the rear end especially easy to spin around.

[Rylinkus]

And a quick FYI. I don't particularly think my car is bad looking, but I'd certainly take an 85 Camaro over mine as far as style goes.

an awd twin turbo vr4 would easily walk the camaro. a single turbo flat 4 scooby would walk a camaro. A twin turbo supra, would walk a camaro. Tahts why they are called japanise super cars. Because no matter what american muscle car you throw at them, the import can be made faster, more reliable, and look a hell of a lot sexier.

So my friends STI is slower then my camaro because........??

[Rylinkus]

I assure you it's a brand new STI. And James is well aware of mods that can and will be done to it. But an STI is only 276 hp from factory. Let's not kid ourselves into acting like it's some 600 hp car that runs a 10 second 1/4 mile and out handles F1 cars.
