Yay! I Got A New Car!
« Reply #45 on: November 09, 2006, 09:35:00 PM »

little fyi.. the fastest honda all-motor racers out there are beginning to break into the high 8's. shouldn't bee too much longer till we see low 8's / high 7's. the newer k series engines are pretty extraordinary..


i think one of my favorite lame excuses anyone can make would have to be the "well, if i threw more money into it i could beat it" line.. what a crock of crap. car a is faster than car b.. live with it. if you're gonna compare the two, compare them fairly. who gives a shit if your <insert slow car here> can beat a <insert fast car here> after receiving $20k worth of work? throw the same money into the other car and it would again hand you your ass. that's like saying you can run faster than some guy with no legs.. this is supposed to make you cool how again?

if you bought an suv, you didn't buy it for speed, you bought it for practicality.... if you bought a sports car, you didn't buy it for practicality, you bought it for speed. be happy with the decision you made and stop trying to fool yourself into making your car out to be something that it isn't.

and for the first person that wants to bring up an srt-8 jeep or some shit, don't bother.. that's just the manufacturers coddling the idiots who can't live with their need-based decisions. i miss the days when a sports car was a sports car and an suv was an suv. i grow tired of this ridiculous cross breed garbage.. sports cars with so much extra crap they're slow again, and suvs that are so performance orientated that they loose most of their functionality.

Oh, god.

WHY, MAN!??! WHY DID YOU DO THAT?!


I needed a car. It cost 50 bucks. It looked like that. Later I added LED windshield washer nozzles I took off another car and paint the side trim stripe on the side bright yellow wink.gif

 That looks like the  "Turbo Interceptor" from the cheezy 1986 movie "The Wraith"  which as I recall was a glorified K-car (2.2 Turbo) costing over a million bucks at the time.

Don't feel bad.  I actually own it on DVD (Yes it was officially in print for a short while).  Sorry but I couldn't pass it up for only $5. wink.gif

No, but twin turbos coupled with an inline six is hardly comparable to a honda civic with a body kit and fart cannon exhaust (the true definition of a ricer).


Its called a Fartmaster biggrin.gif

Nice, just package a huge muffler  as a "Fartmaster Kit for a Ricer" and you can make big bucks.  biggrin.gif

For the price of a skyline just get an american car which are better of course biggrin.gif. Not only are you supporting america like this, you can help stop my local gm plant from shutting down.

good call i think if i really thought about it a z06 would be a better car to buy, it would smoke a skyline for the same or less money in the American car market smile.gif

MotoRex has completed all of the mandatory requirements for the elegibility of importation of the Nissan Skyline GT-R. Motorex is proud to announce the street legal Nissan Skyline GT-R for the United States; however MotoRex is no longer importing Skyline GT-R's.
