Rice is pointless mods, I agree, but when done to something that has go aswell as show then thats not rice, so, celica, with a 3SGE or 3SGTE lump in wouldnt be rice as it has alot of go (150 top end, 7.5sec 0-60 as stock on a good day with a good driver)

There is a difference in a fast car and a quick car. Fast is top end, quick is low 0-60 times. A good car is one with a high top end and a low 0-60 <- thats how it works in drag racing anyway.

Ok, well not to be an ass, but if you're a fan of autos or racing, then there really isn't a weak type of racing.  And drag racing is all about 0-60 times.  Thats what torque is all about... notice the 70 chevelle doing a wheelstand?  Oodles of torque means oodles of acceleration... drag racing is about going as fast as possible as quickly as possible and being consistant at doing it.

Its all about the driver. I could outperform a lot, if not all of you drag racing fans in auto cross with my sunfire or mirage (probably sunfire since I havent driven my mirage in forever) both FF cars. Its all about the driver. You could have a henessy competition viper with 1000 horse power against a 200 horse power stock integra and the better driver would always win. In auto cross you dont need tons of power and tons of torque to be a good peice of competition.

Yes people can name cars that are better than a celica but you name any car and I bet I can name something better.

OK, Celica has a 3SGE engine in, the same engine that is in an MR2. 2L 16V 174BHP standard, 0-60 in 7.5secs, 1/4 mile in 14s and top end of around 150MPH as standard. That isnt a shit car now is it? Its not as good as a 1000BHP skyline which does 0-60 in 4.5 secs, 1/4 mile in under 10 secs but its not a shit car.

Yeah maybe if a retard is driving the viper.

QUOTE(RichMR2 @ Oct 10 2005, 02:28 PM)

The supra thing, FR cars arent as good at getting the power down, the engine needs to be directly above the drive wheels for optimum performance, so FF or MR.

WTF are you talking about?

No shit.  As a buddy of mine once put it, if you put a retard in a race car and Dale Earnhardt Jr. in a Yugo, the retard is gonna win.  In two cars that are pretty comparable it is all about the driver and even in cars that are farther apart the driver still can be the winning factor.  However, only a complete fucktard could have a 1000HP Viper and get beaten by a 200HP Integra.

Saying drifting isnt a race type is like saying drag racing isnt a race type. Both are sports involving cars.

QUOTE(mrright01 @ Oct 11 2005, 08:36 AM)

sorry, IMO, drifting is a sport, but not a type of racing. racing needs cold hard times/speeds, facts. not judges. ask anyone who is serious about making power with their car, it's all about et's and trap speeds, 1/4 mile is a great way to test mods plain and simple. and by the way, i love watching drift events, when i get one of my cars setup properly i'll prolly enter a few drift events.

And no one has given me a decent reason for being so harsh to anyone who likes to make their cars look different! Because its pointless is a shit excuse, it doesnt even effect you if they do pointless mods so why so aggressive and on it all the time?!

Because theres a big difference between adding a few cosmetic things to your 12 Second car, its quite different to throw a coffee can muffler, a few graphics, and a body kit onto your stock Celica, or whatever you have. Thats rice, thats why people get aggressive, because the stereotypical 'ricer' beleives himself to be the hottest shit on the street when he hasnt even touced the engine bay, save for a 'air intake'....

[RichMR2]

That reads wrong, i didnt mean by any means that the 3SGE is a powerful performance engine.
