Post by: ChrisF on January 04, 2004, 03:47:00 PM
I'm a major Porsche fan so obviously there will be a trend.  Two race cars and two street cars.


1974 Porsche RSR 3.0
One of the badest racecars ever built.

1973 Porsche 917-30 (the car that killed Can-Am)

"In 1973, Porsche and Penske upped the ante. Donohue's 917/30 had streamlined bodywork and a new 5.4-liter, twin turbocharged, flat-12 motor that produced 810 ft-lb of torque and 1100 hp in race trim (and had seen 1500 hp on the dyno). This was the most powerful road racing car until the turbocharged F1 racers of the mid-1980s. Donohue called the 917/30 'a monument to my career as an engineer and driver.' Porsche won all eight races in 1973. Charlie Kemp and George Follmer won the first two races in 917/10Ks before Donohue and the 917/30 got their act together and won six in a row and the championship. This was the first time that anyone had won six straight Can-Am races." "The 917/30 made one last run before being retired to a museum and occasional historic racing duty. On August 9, 1975, Donohue drove it at the Talladega superspeedway to a World Closed Course Speed Record of 221.120 mph. It had run 250 mph on the straights."

sad.gif   This is what happens when some punk-ass kid thinks running a yield sign is a good idea.

In the long run though it was probably for the best.  The thing was acting up a lot and I just knew the repairs were gonna cost more than I had.  The best part was my insurance company gave me $6700 (after deductable) for the car.  It booked at $4000.  From what I understand they're trying to also get my deductable back from the kids insurance company, but they're trying to say I'm partly liable.  Fuckers just don't wanna pay up.

the blue devil will put any lambo and any ferrari to shame.. and will also be 1/2 to 1/4th the price depending on what you compare it to.. shit its 1/6th the price of an enzo and will smoke it or atleast stay with it..

You can checkout the 2004 Viper vs. Vette article from MotorTrend.  It's hard to make another car look like ass when your looking at the other cars ass crossing the finish line.

http://www.motortren...1_vv/index.html

It's possible that the person who covets a Viper SRT-10 wouldn't be interested in a Corvette, however competent it is. And there are Vette Faithful who wouldn't give a Dodge a second look, however fast it is. So for real buyers, this decision may be based upon brand loyalty alone.

WHOA, WHOA. Hold on, now thats a fine automobile you got pics of jester and i would love to own one (if only they werent so damn rare).

On the  topic of a celica being fast, its not the GT-S only has 180bhp and has a 0-60 time of 7.8 secs (really bad). Not to mention all the mods in the world will just make it look trashy (its still a toyota).

As for what i drive, i do enjoy my car and no it didnt spend 100k on some ferrari or lambo. I got a BMW 540i, which is by no means a fast car but could still leave you in the dust easily.

Although i would like to sell it and get on of those new Mercedes-Benz cars coimg out ( XLS or somethig weird), but i dont think i can rationalize paying that much even if i took out a loan (75k). My car now was hard to bring myself to buy (got it for 49k, sticker was like 54,999). Kinda make me mad i got it like a year ago and now they are making a new BMW 6-Sereis, but oh well thats what happens when you buy a car.

No i have 4yrs payment and about 1 and a half are done.

I belive the 0-60 time on my car is like 6.6 secs (give or take .1). Its probably twice the size a a celica too. Not that i ever could get beat by him, because i dont race i know my car isnt a speed car (he doesnt seem to understand his car isnt fast either) . Its just alot nicer than a toyota.

And if we are going to add stuff to make the car faster i could do that as well but i dont because my car was fine when i bought it (unlike a celica).

Post by: jesterrace777 on January 07, 2004, 10:29:00 PM
You are missing the point.  Yes you could mod your car to make it even faster but the point is that with the money you spent on your BMW he could easily mod his Celica to beat your BMW AND STILL HAVE MONEY TO SPARE!!!!    He understands just fine what his car is capable of and if you read his description a little more carefully you would discover that he is doing things to modify it to make it faster.  He didn't come out and say his was the best car in the world.  He just said he really likes his Celica and what he has done to it.  You on the other hand came out like a pompus ass and told him that his car sucked because he only spent $20-$30K tops on it and that it couldn't go over 13 MPH (yes, I realize that last part was a joke).  However you calling someone a loser because they like thier car and they only spent $20-$30K on it just proves you are stuck up snob.

OK i am back, just so you know i am not calling him a loser for having a celica (well alittle bit but that was meant as a joke). I was making fun of him because the topic is FAV CAR, not the best car you own.

I just think he could maybe set his sights alittle higher than a celica, i mean if you made a topic called dream job i would hope no one would come in and say "burger king drive through worker". Since that would be a very low thing to shoot for.

And if he likes his car great (but i still hate it), its just not my type of car. I like big cars with nice insides. Yes i do like saying i own a BMW thats why people buy cars like BMW, Lexus, Benz and so on, if all i wanted was to get around i would ride a bike (or moped so i can still beat the celica).

EDIT: And like i said i did not buy my car to be that fastest car around (its 4 doors), but i think its sad its still faster than a celica (which he bought to be fast, but isnt).

but that's just it, the topic isn't "dream"car- it's "Fav" as in 'favorite' which I doubt needs further explanation.  It wasn't a pissing contest, or an attempt to prove 'his' car was better than anyone else's.

QUOTE

I guess that is at the root of the difference here.... and alot can be concluded about a person by a statement like that.    I am not here to criticize that ideal; that's just fine if that is the way you look at owning something.  It is completely opposite from my personal opinions, but hey, that's life.  

I come from a wealthy family.  I grew up riding around in cars that you would no doubt drool over,  but there was a hint more class about the way it was handled.  I would never hear my father name drop the brand of car he drove to illicit admiration, never would I hear him criticize something simply because it was less expensive.   As a matter of fact, he always had a love for american muscle cars, despite the fact that he drove luxury cars exclusively throughout the time I grew up.  Cars that had vinyl seats, noisy engines, cheap sticker prices, etc....  because he knew that these cars represented the heart of what made the automobile great in the first place, even if it wasn't his style.

The bottom line is respect.  People who have truly made it in life on their own through hard work will usually have that.  People who want everyone else to think they have made it, never will.

I couldn't have said it better guys.  The issue is not which car is better, the issue is that Shamo spent $20K on a car he loves and Hercules spent $50K on a car to boost his ego.  Well after spending $20K, shamo still has a car he loves and after $50K Hercules has still proven that he is a loser.  BTW Hercules while you are busy thinking about how much better you are than everyone because you own a BMW, consider the following:  You couldn't afford your BMW outright, so you are only lying to yourself if you think you are better than someone who spent $20K on a Toyota.  You are a Yuppie wannabe.  A rich person could've bought the car upfront but you had to set up a 4-year payment plan.  So your "status" is all for naught as it is a lie.  I have no problem with the people who make payments on thier cars but to come out and bash someone for having a $20K car, when you yourself couldn't afford your $50K car upfront is just rediculous.

ok to the guy who says its not running 8.95 second quarter miles.. here is the video to prove it.. direct from lingenfelter.com

http://www.lingenfel.....sec Vette.mov

here is the text from the page

LPE 427 CID Twin Turbo C5 Corvette
Automatic transmission - [email protected]   1/4 mile run - December 2002

theres also 2 earlier videos of runs at 9.2 and 9.4 seconds that were from the spring of 2002...

and the guy that says 1.9 second 0-60 isint true.. heres the pics from the motortrend magazine..


user posted image

mags a little ripped from being in the bathroom for a year and a half.. but you can clearly see what the 0-60 time says..

and the 1/4 mile is 9.24 as tested by motortrend.. and the mag came out in june 2002.. so the testing was probally done months before that.. and LPE dident hit the 8.95 second mark till december...

and all lingenfelter cars ARE street legal.. and infact they have the record for the fastest 1/4 mile run by a street legal car

now about that toe licking...

ok a couple more things...

To whoever said i praised lexus your wrong (i just said one reason people buy them is to say they have one), as i hate lexus as most are the same as a toyota model.

Also of course i couldnt buy a 50k car outright (i wouldnt even if they could), i am 21 in school and have an apartment to pay for(in the city where rent can be quite high). Soon i will be able to buy a nice car outright but not yet.

And finaly i never came here to brag about my car, i knew people would think i was trying to act all high and mighty so i didnt say what i drove untill YOU ASKED! You also were showing pics a crappy cars claiming it was mine. So then i said what i drove. So i didnt come here to "boost my ego", or did you forget you asked me about everything i have said about the kind of car i drive and its preformance.

and to the celica owner: grow up alittle, atleast im trying to act like an adult.

hehe wait till chevy drops the blue devil C6 corvette... 600+ HP.. with help from McLaren and Lingenfelter...
and its going to be right at the 100k mark..

seriously destroying dodges puny viper that is just around 10k less (shit even the stock C5 or C6 make the viper look like ass for 40k less smile.gif)

the blue devil will put any lambo and any ferrari to shame.. and will also be 1/2 to 1/4th the price depending on what you compare it to.. shit its 1/6th the price of an enzo and will smoke it or atleast stay with it..

more will be known on that once they officially admit their making it smile.gif

I was wondering how you know its being made?

Just a guess, or do you have a reason to say its getting made (either way i hope your right)?

OMFG WHAT A LOSER! Your favorite car in the world is a crappy celica (you do have alot of guts actully telling people you have to drive that plastic tub around)?
Come on that set you back what 20, 30 grand tops?
Your cars a joke, you have like what around 200hp (maybe less)?

Maybe if you save up you can buy a Mo-ped and swap engines.

Hey on the bright side you wont ever need seatbelts (since you cant get above 13mph).

How can you possibly consider yourself to be acting like an adult after posting comments like that.  Plenty of other people here posted they liked BMWs or actually posted pics of them and I have no problem with them.  You on the other hand had to come out and show how much better you were than the guy with the Celica because you own a BMW.  I can't believe you are actually denying that, because it is clearly written in that comment about how he ONLY spent $20K-$30K on his car.  We did ask you about your car since you seemed to think it was so much better than the Celica that Shamo drove.  Sorry man, but you brought this crap on yourself.  If you had acted mature in the first place and simply posted pics of your car instead of coming out and attacking Shamo for owning a Celica, we wouldn't be having this conversation. wink.gif

I can see you think that i am just saying it sucks becuase its cheap, BUT i am not. The way i meant that to come out is its only like 20k for the car you like best. Not really what i consider a car someone would think "WOW" thats the best.

He is the only on this tread to post a car like that, everyone else is post about vipers and corvettes. I am just knocking a strange pic for a car.

As for bringing this on myself, i have said im sorry and am trying to be as civil as i can and answer you instead of just posting 4 pages of flames, but you still keep attacking me (i stoped insulting his car awhile back, but yet you continue). Why, could it be you have something to prove? Its not even you car i was talking about.

Simply that you were wrong to post those comments.  As mentioned everyone else here posted pics of other cars and left it at that while you jumped out and hounded someone because he liked/owned a $20K car.  Well while he is busy out driving the car he only payed $10K for, you will be busy making payments on your "status symbol".  You really did bring this on yourself.  As mentioned the topic isn't about "Dream Cars" it is about "Favorite Car".  He is happy with the car that he bought and it costs 1/5 the price of many of the ones listed here, so how does that make him a loser.   You try to claim you have quit flaming him for his car but you are still doing it.  You made the comment that a $20K isn't what you would consider the best car.  Once again though this isn't about the best car or dream car, it is about a person's favorite car and it just shows poor character on your part to bash a guy who spent $10K on his car because you spent $50K on a BMW that is so much better.  You paid 5x the price for your BMW, of course the car is going to be better for luxury.  He wanted a nifty looking sporty car that wasn't going to cost him an arm and a leg.  All I am saying is that you had absolutely no call to come out and belittle his car.  If he had made nasty comments about the BMW in the first place then I would understand why you responded the way you did.  All he did was say that he owned a Celica and posted pics of it, and your first post came out and did nothing but flame him for his car of choice.  I think it is fair that you got a little flaming coming back your way for your rude comments.   Once again how can you possibly compare your $50K luxury sedan to his $10K Celica. . . . .YOU CAN'T!!!!!!!

I realized that after I reread it. So in a way you were right and I was wrong just a common mistake. I thought at first it was a mile so I posted he had to be going 250+ to do that seconds. then after I reread the magazine I realized it. Its just a common mistake.

I don't really have anything to say.  I have a pretty current Motor Trend and they still list the Mclaren as the fastest 0-60 time at 2.90.  That is a nutty Vette I will give you that, racing a jet??? That is rediculous.

maybe the fastest STOCK/Factory 0-60 time smile.gif

still 10x as much as a lingenfelter vette....

and the new vette will probally base somewhere between the normal coupe price and the z06 price, which is 42k-52k, i would expect in the 46-48 area.
