What pisses you off about the Import Scene?

Hey! I happen to like Stock car racing and I am no redneck. I prefer to really only watch the road courses though.

I'm talking about the drivers being rednecks. And anyway I'll watch it for 5 minutes now and then especially when there's accidents or pit problems

i hate the term RICE... there is no definition of the word and everyone uses it differently.. i use it as an attitude... "my civic is better than your cavalier cause its a civic" that sorta thing... or the stickers and wing and kit but no go... (unless is a show car.. then its ok.. cause its a SHOW car)... and angry weed wacker cat backs...

domestics can be just as good if not better than imports... some imports (accords and some civics i think) arent even imported... camarys (not a great example but its the point that counts) are made in the midwest.... if my cavie had as many options as a civc for easy bolt ons and mods id be doin 150 too... as is its rev and speed limited so its crippled b4 the start...

I downloaded a clip on grokster with a viper and civic racing. Let's just say the viper got it's ass handed to it.

Hehe, oh now thats true.

Screw NASCAR

Rallying, AutoX, and Road Racing are where its at

I'm not a big nascar fan either, and some of their drivers may be rednecks, but...You have to give them credit. Keeping your fender 6 inches from the guys bumper in front of you, all the while going around a banked turn at almost 200mph takes alot of concentration and skill. The guys are exceptional at what they do to say the least.

[NismoDrifts]

Hmm, yeah, i think you need some credit too......lol.......joining AF around the same time i did and having almost twice as many posts as me! BASTARD!

[blacksnake98]

Mmmuuhaaahaaahaa...

the thing that pisses me off about the import scene is the fact that owners seem to have so many options to modify them but often do not take advantage. i get so tired of seeing these punks in otherwise stock civics covered in stickers for things they don't have, or body kits, thinking they have a fast car. i've smoked countless hondas decked out like this in my lo pro regal. they look over and see a grocery-getter, and then it eats their asses! make no mistake, i'm not dissin the cars--most imports are works of technological art--my problem is the idiots that often buy them, "fix them up" like this and then try to race me. it gives true import enthusiasts a bad name. if you're planning to be cocky in an import, at least be able to back up your stickers!!! personally, i love the sleeper look--no show and ALL GO! true, my regal is nearly stock, but i do have big plans for it in the near future, and i don't talk any shit that i can't back up. for sure, i rarely talk shit at all, just let the car speak for itself. it won't beat a v8 stang *pukes on himself* but it will surprise the hell out of a lot of comparable cars. this is what so many "import racers" are missing. i can't remember half the hondas i've smoked, but they WILL remember me!

so before the hate mail starts coming in, if you are a true import enthusiast who takes pride in how your car performs before how it looks, then good for you. you have my respect. but if you happen to be one of these little shits in an "all show, no go" civic or other import that i smoke on a daily basis, you can go slam your head in the door of that car you love to show off, because it will hurt a lot less than getting killed by my grannymobile!!! you shouldn't be in this forum if you're not interested in true performance.:finger:

I hate all people that goto my school pretty much. I have an 86 jetta. It's got some power to it. But I don't brag about it. I love looking at the asian kids with the hondas at my school. No offesense to Asians. Most of my friends are Asain. There is one guy at my school with a respectable import. He has a 300ZX. Well actaully 2 but it's this guy with a prelude. What a waste. They race their cars. They don't come to school and talk about the night before and about how they raced and that stuff. But on the other hand. I know all these fools with their Civics and Accords and Integras. These bums rev their motors and stuff in the lot. Fools. They have and exhuast not even Kat back and some have an occasoinal intake. These retards think they can feel the difference in horse power. I would like to say NO. Big deal if you have an exhuast. So do I. I have a Schrick cam in my car too. Next month I'm installing a new air intake that has a pipe under the air DAM. Does anyone give a shit? NO. Do I rev my engine in the lot? NO. I'm trying to build a nice car with out looking like a punk ass wanna bee. So all you ricers out there with exhuast and intake that think they are street racers you all are a bunch of fake ass no ones. Come to my neighbors house and race his M3 and then tell me you are a street racer. PEACE dub for life if you got a prob write about in the thread.

okay heres what i hate the most. people with these civics and crap like that that think theyre so fast cuz they got a muffler and a bodykit and clear blinkers. i would consider myself an import person, my car is an almost stock 2002 impreza, its not fast, it runs high 14s in the 1/4, an easy kill for any newer z28 or gt, but its not slow either, as i can beat prob any new car for its price. but when i go race these rice boys, i kill them so badly its not funny, and my car is almost stock. i would also consider myself a street racer, but i dont go revving at everyone and racing through traffic till i almost rear end the people in front of me, and i hate it when people do that as well, and thats not just imports that do that. i also hate it when the import people diss domestic sport compacts just cuz theyre domestic, a 140 hp focus zx3 will easily kill a 160hp civic si, believe me i have seen it many of times.

[NismoDrifts]

Yeah, omg, a bunch of fucking morons in my class (ones a really ditsy blonde girl who i think has a domestic) was all like "yeah! im gettin eurotails next week!!!!!!!" and she was all freakin, and all the people in the class were talking about em........and of course they were all talking about how the Fast and the Furious came out today and who they were all gonna get it because it was such a badass movie and it was realistic (no joke, they said that) i was like "oh my god"

and this morning on the bus......one teen was like "yeah! my dads 60's mustang runs 11.....and he doesnt use NOS!!!!!" like it was some godlike thing for a 60s domestic to be fast without nitrous.......oh my god i live in dumbassville

[Caddy_Daddy]

The only thing i hate about street racing is that anybody that buys a intake and a muffler think that they can race anything...oh and also they got stickers from every hi performance part made..but only got an intake and clear tail lights..
