Couldn't resist

I'm sorry, I couldn't resist, but this guy's trying to sell a '69 hot rod c-10 to fund his shopping spree at NOPI to pimp out his rice burner. http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=3631454&goto=3631454

LOL I asked him a dumb question. I want to see if he will answer it for me. :)

what a tool

yeah now everyone starts throwing punches. but seriously, he needs to post pics. Modded Talons can be very fast though. easily in the 12's with only a couple grand.

With a couple grand mine can be in the 12's also, or damn close. It's all about what you have to start with. :icon16:

I was gonna say, but I didn't want to start another flame war in here.

Well...I will then.

thats true, I was just pointing out that not all 4cyl suck.

That is true too. One of my old g/f's had some little Plymouth car that had a 4 cyl turbo and 5 spd. That little SOB would straght out haul!

oh yeah i read about one guy who bought one of those, did maybe $5,000 worth of rebuilding/upgrading and it was running 10's.

My only compaint about small engines boosted to go fast is that damn whining sound they make (not to mention the problems their drivers cause on the freeways and streets). Ya just can't beat the rumble of a V8!!!

Well S/C and Turbo both make that type of sound...But usually the smaller engines rev really high (7-11,000 rpm) which produces a high pitched noise.

And then someone puts a FART CAN on the back....... :screwy: :banghead: :rofl: :eek:

yeah...lack of money and or knowledge lol.

See, your Civic looks respectable. We had a Turbo Chrysler Laser (same as the Mitsu Conquest TSi, which later became the Eclipse) back in the 80's that made our friend's IROC-Z look like it was going backwards.

thats actually not mine, but its the same thing, just i dont have the lip and the foglights ...yet :smile:

hehe look at what i put...

I would like to see a Rice Burner tow a Travel Trailer..Yeah they can make lots of power an go fast but, there is no raw pulling power there...

Just my :2cents: !

So what does the term "Rice burner" actually include? I'd like to see a Cavalier, Sunfire, Aveo, etc pull a trailer. You're comparing apples to oranges. V8's to I4's. What about the Nissan Titan, Toyota Tundra, etc. and now the Honda Ridgeline? Im sure they can pull pretty well.

Most truck guys do not consider the ridgeline a truck, and it only has a v6. Yes, I do agree that comparing a truck to a rice burner is apples and oranges (take a look at Inatalonixlr8's thread)
