Actually I don't like the supra. I don't dislike it either, but I don't like it. I just don't like the styling. If it didn't have that big wing there is no telling what I would think. But that wing just pisses me off.

Without the rear wing the supra looks like something is missing. It needs a spoiler, just not a big ass wing. I like the RX-7 alot better. A rotary engine, beutiful design, plent of aftermarket mods. I love the RX-7.

Okay, first of all, the Z06 is a masterpiece of engineering, and for 45k with traction control, ABS, and 92 octane gas, it's a steal. There isn't a better value supercar available, and only the lotus elise comes close in bang for buck. Now I'm too mature to start flaming about your mother in bang for buck, or her being featured on uglycars.com, just because she gets driven so much. Yes, the GNX is regal based. In 1978, Buick introduced the Regal T-Type, with a turbo charged carbureted 3.8 V6, which by the mid 80's developed into the electronic sequentially fuel injected, turbocharged 3800 making an honest 301 hp on the dyno. In 1987, GM switched to the W platform, killing all rear drivers except for Caddy's Caprices, and sports cars. The GNX was a special edition made in 87 with about 350 hp, and 400 ft lbs of torque.
For the record, the GNX is a beautiful automobile. At least in my modest opinion.

Even worse than a Ford Aerostar "80s" or a Pontiac Aztec? I would almost say it is a three way tie. They should all have exterrior barf bags as an option so people won't puke on your car.

Tough call.....there are literally hundreds of cars I can't stand to see on the road today. A few that come to mind that tops my list are:
AMC Pacer
AMC Gremlin
Ford Pinto
Ford Mustang
Skoda
I have seen WAY too many defects on these cars to ever want to buy one of these EVER! Its a really tought call deciding which one I hate the most of all (the Mustang and Pacer are neck and neck). I know I am going to be seriously razzed by the Mustang lovers, but I used to work for Ford and have seen and experienced too many unfortunate incidents to ever bring myself to buy them (let alone look at one or be a passenger in one).

Hey, don't give the Aerostar no sass while you own a FWD Chrysler, punk.
NA motors need big valves. Ford has big valves, Chevrolet and Chysler do not. Chrysler took a step in the right direction with their turbo cars in the 80's. Then they found out people were using them for performance cars. Performance being the inherent polar opposite of Chrysler, they dropped it all.
I hate just about all Chryslers with a few notable exceptions.
The A body(dart, demon, duster, valiant)
The CopperHead(if they had built it. Which they didn't, because it's Chrysler.)
I don't hold to brand loyalty, because every auto maker, yes, even Chrysler, has made good cars. Except for Trabant, and Lada.
Z06Lover, I agree. I hate rice. A Honda S2000 is not rice. An S2000 is a legitimate, fast sports car. The 1st series Mazda Miata was underpowered, yes. It was also rear wheel drive, and really light. 10 more hp in a car like that is a big improvment. A turbo kit and good wheels and tires, stiff springs and a beefed up LSD rear end make that one of the best cars I have ever driven, and I've driven lots of Porsche turbos.

I don't know about you Melis, but I see just about as many 3000GT Sl's out here as I do Mustangs and Camaros. :p Each of these cars, including 3000GT's, is plagued by the cheap lower end of their spectrums where they offer evil V6 or non-turbo versions...Basically, people can't afford the good version, settle for the rotten one to look cool, and when they get more money throw on a body kit. :( I'm sick of seeing Mustangs and Camaros in V6 form ( I believe it's a travesty of the worst kind ), but not seeing Mustangs or Camaros.
Anywho, cars I absolutely would love to hit with a semi:
Aztecs
VW Beetles
PT Cruisers
Jeep Liberty- Please give me DEATH!!!
Civics with window tint and noise-maker on tail end of it
Vipers-YES! I HATE THESE!!!!!
I'm sure the list could go on forever if I really sat down and thought about it, but...these take top honors. Kudos to their makers for making and marketing vomit.

There are way more cameros and mustangs than 3000GT's.I think even the base model of the 3000GT is still better than any base model mustang or camero (i wouldn't call a 3000GT "cheap lower end" considering its a $35,000 car and the vr-4 is over $40,000). The 3000GT brand new even the base model is worth twice what Mustangs and Cameros are v6 or v8s. I don't have to throw money into my car-I can hang with Mustangs GT's and other v8's just like yours. From 30 mph street race or more you'll be suprised at the SL. Whats sad is ford made a V8 that V6 can beat! Don't get me wrong I used to own a LS1 Trans Am modded with over 400hp so I m not completely against it;) But I have been able to race and hang with the best of them with my SL including a few LT1's and turbo eclipses. My 3000GT ...turbo no its not .....but we are talking about an 'SL' model with DOHC 5 spd and 222 plus hp and over 205 torque with minor mods, I have walked many v6 cameros and mustang's stock heck the only thing worth racing is THE V8'S! You may have seen many 3000GT sl's but have you raced them? You should check out www.3si.org for more information on the 3000GT-they are not to be underestimated ;)

No, I bought convertible because I wanted the top to go down on hot, and steamy sunny days. :cool: Are you upset because of the overabundance of SL's messing up 3000GT name? :p Why did I get power door locks? Or leather seating? Or have them keep a CD player in it? Why do I need remote-entry? Because, it's a daily driver, not a race car. Although, I suppose it would seem more like the latter. :D

Oh, and by the way. My 2000 Mustang GT convertible has roughly a curb weight in the vicinity of 3450lbs. While the 98 VR4, non convertible, had a curb weigh of 3810 lbs. 320-hp stock in those, and good for a 14.2 in the 1/4 with 3.83 gears was it? I don't know, but higher acceleration gear ratio than mine even. So. If you're beating mustangs and camaros, they best all be v6's in that sl of yours. :alien: If you're beating mustangs that are 8's, it's possible, but they have to be pre-99, when they had 225hp instead of 260 stock. Have a nice day. I'm not trying to bash, I like vr-4's, but, just stating some facts here since you're complaining about my convertible adding SOOO much weight.

HEHE...one more for you...I was disturbed to think that you believe that a convertible robs you of hp....Tell me it ain't so! You did say, "More weight, less hp." Right? And for even another stab at you, if you want to compare coupes versus convertibles, C5 vettes with convertible actually have been capable of out-accelerating the hardtops. In 2000, the three Vettes offered (coupe, convert, and hardtop) the acceleration went in the following order from fastest to slowest..."Coupe, Convertible, Hardtop." And most specs I read up on 1/4 times, somehow, places a 95 3000GT VR-4 Spyder slightly ahead or at least equal to that of a 98 3000GT VR-4 in 1/4 times and 0-60. Mustangs don't work that way, but, just know it happens. ;)

Just to let you in on a little information...I could see why C5 verts can and do out accelerate the coupes...They don't have electric tops and therefore don't have the added weight of the motors, therefore they are lighter. That is the reason why the mustang verts aren't faster than the coupes. Just thought I would inform you of that.

Usually convertables are heavier and less rigid than coupes. Myself, I prefer the refined closed cockpit feel, while hammering through a corner at excessive speed.

04-05-2002, 12:14 AM
Dear lord, you've all taken my post and completely turned it around to make it seem like I've stated all convertibles are faster. I was only making a point that not every convertible is heavier than stock, and thus, can potentially show more respectable acceleration times. I'm sorry for any confusion. I did state though that this was not the case on Mustang's, because, yes, they have a mechanical top and not hand-operated. Sorry that everyone reads way too far into my posts... :(

04-05-2002, 05:49 PM
I don't know who has been smoking what, and who has gotten into the glue, but a C5 convertable does 0-60 in 5.2 or so seconds. A C5 coupe does 0-60 in a shade under 5. A C5 hardtop does in in about 4.7
The mustang has got to be the sole example of a convertable accelerating faster than a coupe. I suspect this is probably due to tuning more than body structure.

Nobody's reading every post in this forum obviously...hehe...i can tell because everyone's going on and on about their own stories about this convertible and that...mustangs aren't the story, because the convertibles ARE slower. C5's with convert have been capable of beating other c5's non-convert, but, again, this is based driver/driver in my theory, and they're not auto-top up/down...it's a hand-manual...let's get back to cars we hate...shall we? lol...got a new one...well, an old one, but based off a new one of an old one i saw...and it is as follows:
PT Cruiser with blue neon front license plate, tuner stickers,and Coffee-can exhaust...woof...but, he was driving it like it was pumping out an extra 5-hp...:silly2:

Actually, I DID read every post in this forum....
Contrary to 100% of the people here, I kinda like PT Cruisers. But don't flame me for it.
Cars I hate:
Anything by Kia. Especially since they've started naming them so they rhyme with Nissans. I.E. Optima=Altima, Spectra=Sentra, etc.
Many, many Fords. But not all. Seriously, can't they pick car names that aren't so easy to make fun of? F*ckus, Mustank, Expire, Exploder, Explosion, etc.
Any car that has a mullet in it.
Any car made so you can't point the air vents at your legs. (I live in a warm climate.)
The Asstek. But then again, does anybody like this car? I've only seen 1 on the road, ever.
The Camry. Why has every Camry driver I've ever met (except 2 on this forum) tried to run into me or cut me off?? Why???
The Toyota..oh, I can't remember the name but they only came in stanky colors like sea mist and desert rose. You know, their entry-level car. Not the Echo, though I hate that one too.
Cars I like:
Any car that has a standard clock on the dash or instrument panel. No, the radio doesn't count.

I hate PT Cruisers. I hate Azteks. In fact, I hate this whole "crossover" thing. For Christs sake, get a van! Get a sports car. Drive the sports car for fun, and to commute. Drive the van when you need to carry a lot of people, or a lot of cargo. It's not rocket science.
I think the crossover trend is engineered with the sole purpose in mind of offending the automotive enthuasiast. People who like sports cars are offended by a crossover commercial flaunting the monstrosity as part sports car, part truck, all fun or something ridiculous like that.
On the other hand, the people who like trucks are offended by the very same commercial, because they hate to see that thing called a truck.
The wagon people are offended because suddenly, the whole automotive industry completely shuns the wagon, in favour of a abhorration like the Matrix.
The van people just say, "Get a fucking van!"
Excuse my language, but it had to be literal quote to get the point across.
BTW, Fords rock.

OK I hate:
Anything boy-racers like (Except Skyline and Civic)
Anything where engineering took the back-seat
Anything that doesn't provide an enjoyable drive
Anything that comes out of America that wasn't designed before the fuel crisis
Pontiac Aztec/Buick Rendezvous
BMC cars after the Morris 1100
Anything with a Rotor (Except the JC Cosmo)
Anything from Eastern Europe that wasn't designed by a big-brother (ie I like Skoda's because VW do most of the designing)
Old FIAT's

How can you be against rice and like the Civic? It is the focal epitomy of rice!
After both gas scares, great cars were still made. Pontiac was making big block Trans Ams(which were the fasted musclecars 12 second cars),
In the 80s, Buick made the GN series. Ford made the SVO, and put a Windsor V8 in quite a few things. Chrysler... well, there's no excuse for Chrysler.
The Cosmo has a 20B rotary. Triple rotor, good for 1000 hp with adequate porting and boost. The RX-7 has a 13B rotary. With same porting and boost, capable of 600hp or more. The only bad things about these motors, they burn oil, not the best fuel economy. The only thing I don't love about rotaries, they have a really high powerband. No low end torque.

While the Civic is the apitimy of rice, it REALLY does a great job as a daily driver, I know because most of my driving time is spent behind the wheel of my mums 2001 Civic hatch

i love cars period
but there are a few that ruffle my feathers
any japanese car thats not stock or try's to look fast
(other than the supra & the 3kgt)
the aztek (whos idea was that?)
the pt cruiser (0-60 when?)
Anything ford
because they are slow and very very
unreliable (the gt-40 does look killer though)
Esp. MUSTANGS & THE ESCAPE
:finger:

Slow and unreliable? Where do these come from? My mustang's fine at 35k miles, not a single prob to date...hopefully, luck will continue. And mine's fast, so...Maybe we shouldn't count mine, though, since it has too much invested.

Ho ho, they're made by Kia and sold under the Ford name. I.E. Ford Expire. A whopping 67 hp baby!! And no damn tachometer. How are you supposed to know when to shift when the engine sounds like bees at 1,000 rpm???

Banchi, don't say bad things about Fords while you drive a Plymouth. I have a Ford 400 windsor smallblock. This is the most powerful small block I have ever seen.
It has a Edelbrock 750 carb, DIY port and polish, and a high lift cam.
This motor makes 450hp, and has been doing so for 150,000 miles without a hiccup.

I love the name! My 400 Windsor SB is the most powerful stock SB I have ever seen. With the smog ripped off of course. Don't talk smack about Ford, plymouth boy
The PT Cruiser. What the hell were they thinking?
The Prowler. The near beer of hotrods. It looks like a hotrod, they promote it like a hotrod. It goes like an economy car!
The Trabant. I don't need to say any more about the Trabant
Any Lada. There are Russian cars which are not shit. This is not one of them
Renault LeCar. Sweet Jesus! I don't think it's possible to make a smaller car!
The Messerschmidt. Okay, so it is possible to make a smaller car! How did the company that made the best fighters in the world degrade itself to this? Damned the allies, and their humiliating impositions
Pontiac Aztek. The only thing worse than the fact that they made these cars is the fact that people bought them! People walked into a showroom and said "I want to drive THAT home!"
Any car that someone will refer to as a "bad ass awesomobile." what the sweet fuck.
Sorry about my language, I just couldn't convey my disgust and hatred without profanity

I'm probably going to date myself here. Anyone remember the Renault Le-Car? I wouldn't give that piece of crap to my worst enemy. The AMC Pacer ranks a close second. Any Chrysler product that has the word "K-Car" in it sucks too. Also any inport with a coffee can exhaust! lol
Cbass
06-07-2002, 10:05 AM
Yeah, but at least the Pacer was RWD and available with a 4+ liter engine...
Of course, I could never hate any car as much as the Trabant. I really loath those cars.
