Do you really think this is appropriate for this "CAR MODELING" forum?
The are other forums for this kind of stuff;)

This is appropriate in any forum because its true. Domestics blow? I dont think so, look at Murcos Camaro, that is an absoloute beast. Hot rods, beasts, Corvettes, beasts, Mustangs, beasts, Camaros, beasts, Vipers, well you should all know that they kick Import arse by now! Imports are boring, i've never been able to like imports for more then a week, and i've tried. :rolleyes: Why would someone say Imports or rice suck because they got beaten by a 4 cyl? I think its more along the lines of they are sick of seeing those heaps of shit on the roads, they are sick of hearing their crappy fartcan exhausts and they are sick of hearing their damn doofy techno music from 6 blocks away. I started it? I was posting some facts & something I found funny and true at someones site, you are the one who is yelling, thinking its an argument. I'm not arguing with you, just disagreeing that Imports are "cool" I think imports and rice are heaps of shit that just happen to have wheels attached to them, not to mention all those stupid spoilers etc etc. I have 4 Import models and about 30 Musclecar models, imports are just shit IMO and thats all i'm saying. Hey Thug, name me a street legal Import that could beat a 9 second street legal Viper.

When is enough enough??? What I am sick and tired of is all those arguments. And no, Car Modelling forum is not a place for that. What the hell is the difference. And what are "domestics" for you anyway? Holdens? (love some of them, btw) I'd say this is enough. I suggest this thread removed because the only reason for it being here is start a flame war. I also suggest you grow up and start respect other people's opinion/tastes and other people in general. To be honest, your posts are anything but interesting to me so far. Try to be constructive. Jay/Warren, please do something about this thread.

I may may not be Thug, but I'm more that happy to oblige....
Blitz R348 top speed Skyline- Street legal with off the shelf readily available parts. Mid 9's on street tires...
Lanny Higa's 9.79 Civic- Hawaii only had Steet class events until recently... and it was a daily driver...
Adam Sawaruatari's RX-7 ran 9's back in 98 when it was street legal before he Back halfed the chassis..
June Akira Supra- Though its a top speed car, its street legal with the exception of a gutted interior, ran 9.6 in Palmdale on an exibition run...
If you like some visual evidence, heres a clip of Henessy Viper getting OWN3D by a puny little turbocharged Civic on factory rims, and keep in mind, this is a street race, not a controlled drag race, no slicks for the Civic....

Sure, the Import scene is infested with Riceboys, but keep in mind that the true racers are out there in the cut, even us honda boys are capable of handing good ol Detroit iron it's ass on a platter..... street or strip.

Guys! Guys! Guys, when will you learn that opinions vary? We all have our own tastes, likes and dislikes but the one thing that brings us all together is car modeling - in general - FULL STOP! So lets just stick to that subject shall we?;)

Yikes! This is precisely why I left another modeling forum, too many opinions were aired out and few were generally accepted. Let's stick to the models.:rolleyes:

Supratuner,
You got kicked off for saying civics sucked? weird.....since 99% of the people there build muscle and drag...
I could have sworn you were thrown off there for your offensive behaviour......
BTW, this thread does belong in another forum, I believe it is called coffee break......

Amen Brother.
Spewing out hate over what "the other guy drives" is kind of pointless when we're discussing models, which are a creative/artistic expression of one's love for cars in general.
In other words, unless it has to do with a model or modelling issue, I don't really give a rat's ass what you hate or why (because no matter what the intent it always comes across as immature behavior)...I'd much rather hear something positive-talk about or show us what you like. A friendly little jab here or there is fine, but tone down the hate-speech, especially in a forum where you know the majority like what you are dissing. The cartoon is funny, because it's satire...but there are those who take it as gospel and take it far too seriously. In other words, this whole thread could have been so much different if the cartoon had been presented as "this is pretty funny" and left it at that.

Lowrider4life: You're immature and shouldn't have posted that. Doing so you got the attention y ou craved, but only to the negative effect. I'm not gonig to go and bash, flame and insult you here, because I like BOTH. I see nothing wrong with a nice civic lowered with a body kit and simple paintjob, in my eyes it looks good and I can appreciate all the hardwork some of these "ricers" put into their rides. I also love muscle, which is why I am rebuilding a 1980 TransAm right now. There is nothing like the sound of 450hp rumbling through your vein's, especially when you wind that baby up!.
I just wish people like you would choose to think before they speak, or type rather. You people give AF.com a bad name, and a bad reputation. You are what prevent's good people from staying on this site, so delete that link, edit you r post, do whatever you can to try and at least save your image, because the past few post's you've made have been depleting it, and soon nobody is going to care the littlest bit if you were to die today, or tomorrow.
My $0.02.

Not to add fuel to the fire but somebody mentioned a list of 9 second imports that were street legal...
Thats great that there are a few... but he failed to mention what the cost of all the mods are to get those cars that fast. In most cases its cheaper and easier to mod a Domestic car.
Lets tone it down a bit lets say 11s. Sure there tons of civics and integras but how many run 11s? Not many, big deal! To each his own.

First of all, this is a lame post. Keep your comments to yourself. Its not fair. Go drive your cars, we'll drive ours. I don't see why you have to post a thread, which i am am sure, insults most of us here. And all of those facts on that little diagram you posted are exadgerrated so much. Who cares who likes imports or who likes american musle. We all do what we do and choose to like what we like. Why does their have to be so much hate between the fans? It just doesn't make any sense to me.

OK, drag racing sucks.
Straight line = fast car
Auto-x/Roadrace = fast driver
go to your local auto-x and see how many more imports you see compared to domestics

Guys guys guys:rolleyes: ...this is real disappointing to read this kind of flaming here.
Why cant you just respect what the other person likes without having to ram your own veiws down that persons throat.
I've been on both sides of the fence.
Ive owned a rip snorting V8 that i raced on the quarter and had a ball with, and wouldn't change if i had to do it all over again.....but now i've got into the import scene as thats what i like at the moment.
Hell, if i had the money i'd still go out and buy a Chevelle/Mustang etc if i could.
This is were the sport of cars really sucks arse when people have tunnell vision and are not prepaird to view any other makes/models etc because it doesent suit THERE own taste's
Learn to respect what the person is doing for the sport and not what he owns.
Please dont bring these kind of threads here again.....if you have a problem with this...PM me
