You pick the car you like and drive it and ignore what someone else drives. All you hear is "imports suck", so what?? is there a stick up your ass with "import" written on it????


Its called Prozak... Calm down buddy... Before you blow a head gasket and spew your coolant all over the board... Not to mention it would hurt like a SOB!

Integra u sound like u have a stick in ur ass. Some cars come from factory superior tha most which effects the way u mod ur car. Some people say imports suck because its a competitive attitude and u can only take seein stock hondas with wings and exuast thinkin they are the shit racin whatever. I say honda sucks ass but i would drive a prelude or integra. Yeah honda is gay...But built superior than most. Muscle cars are unbeatable unless u bring in and f1 or some shit but dont be stupid...

Car companies can't be "gay" ... and muscle cars ARE beatable. I ain't beign stupid, I'm just sayin what I wanna say.

You say hondas suck but you would drive a prelude or integra? Who the hell do you think built those two?

Holy cow Integra818... tone the language down a bit my friend.

I think you need to follow the advice posted in your very own sig...

" We're not here to fight, we're here to talk about cars or anything related to cars, so don't start sh*t!"

You came in here saying we need to stop bashing Hondas/Ricers. When I dont think we were... If the topic offended you, I'm sorry.

Not all of us domestic guys hate the Imports...

Can't we just get along? :)

It's all good man, no worries... I live in LA too... I know your frustration of living with asshole drivers and idiots drivers (there is a difference).

We gotta stick together...

BTW your dream car... the Sun International Lotus Elise Type R... Saaweeeet Car. Just needs a V8 :D hahaha just kidding, the ITR motor works wonders for it.



Asshole drivers are the guys who cut you off, and swerve in and out of traffic only to end up 4 car spaces ahead of where they were in stop and go traffic. They are also the guys who randomly hope over into the carpool lane when traveling solo. Basically, they're assholes. Best way to combat these types of drivers is to be alert ready for anything. Most likely suspects are high dollar SUV's and Luxury Sedans with 'rich' looking people. They seem to think cause their rich or because they're a doctor in a hurry or maybe somebody is bleeding/dieing from some infected toe...they can just cut you off. What assholes!

Idiot drivers are the guys who just pay absolutely no attention to whats going on. This can be represented by a female doing her nails while driving on the freeway, or a male checking email on a laptop computer while cruising the highway. They are the ones you see swerving in their own lane... and generally making you nervous. They are hard to predict in their moves cause they aren't sure themselves. Unlike Asshole drivers who know where they want to be in 6 lane changes.

Assholes usually cause the accident with the swerving and random lane changes, the Idiots are the ones usually in the accident cause they weren't paying attention. But don't be fooled... The Idiot can quickly become an Asshole driver if 'awoken' from its own little world and if threatened they might give you a warning which is the Dreaded Glare... Dont be fooled this is only a self defense mechanism they are trying to show they are the dominate driver just stare back and dont look away. You've got to be firm! Or you might get the sign of frustration a single finger. Now dont get upset, this again is only a self defense mechanism that is used if the glare hasnt worked.

If the now aggitated Asshole moves into more aggressive forms of confrontation, like shouting or shows signs of wanting to get physical. It is best to let them think they have won the battle, and when they've settled down. Hunt them down to their place of residence and tie up their family and beat them with a baseball bat. Only way you can teach them.

Sorry for the rant... :D

No they aren't.

In my opinion ricers are people that modify a car only on the outside while no having any knowledge of the mechanical workings of their car. They put stickers for things they don’t' even have in their car. They do a half assed job with their modes. In most cases their choices have no class and look ugly.

This applies to any brand of car. Ricers don't just drive imports. I have seen this on all types of cars from all different countries. Rice is universal. The term started with imports, but it has made its way all around.

You might have a different opinion on rice, but that is mine and I am sticking to it. I don't dislike car brands, I dislike cars and some of the people that drive them.

What are you saying, Honda is better than Nissan? They both have thier advantages, but overal I think Nissan is better than Honda. Don't get me wrong, I really love hondas but you can't argue with the Skyline's 1000+Hp capabilities. For the money, you could probably get a silvia S13 the same speed, if not faster, than an integra. Which is the reason I plan on selling my GSR for a 240sx. :)

:hehehe: here we go...personally...u can't argue w/ honda's technology. the way they build motors, the quality of their parts, makes me see honda as superior to nissan. don't get me wrong, i believe nissan makes amazing cars, but overall (line-up vs line-up) i believe honda has the edge. why do u think honda has been the top selling cars in america? (not always, but a lot of years they did).

i don't really think that they were callin u a ricer delsol (cuz everyone on here kno's ur car) i believe they were sayin that the one's w/ stock civics w/ only a lil exhaust tip, thinking they are now heavily mod'd racing machines.

its cheaper to build a quick nissan then a honda? i don't really think that is tru. i think that it could go either way. it really jus depends on which path u want to take. u bring up the 1000+ hp skyline, but its not exactly the most cost-efficient way to go (in the states). for 1/4 of that, u could put a h/b into the same times as that 1000hp skyline in the 1/4.

Wow! Now I'm getting flamed! Us "old people" (I'm 37) are pretty hard-lined in our opinions because of EXPERIENCE! When you see situations and results over and over again, you learn what to expect. I have no beef with import drivers, I have a Jetta GLI along with my Camaro. I do take issue with the kids, usually in Hondas, who constantly choose me off in either car. The Jetta is almost understandable but the Camaro has a pretty healthy exaust note at idle so it's obviously not anywhere near stock. I used to "give them a show" every once in a while and they usually enjoyed the hell out of watching me rip-up the road, rear-end wiggling every gear-change and all. Since that silly Fast & Furious movie came out there are far too many punks out there suddenly copping really shotty attitudes and getting a little too aggressive about running them in some ratty little car with a pipe, especially if they have NOSS (I hate that stupid "word").
Honda builds a great car and I almost bought an Accord EX V6 last year. Nissan had me interested in the Altima 3.5, until I drove it. Even Subaru tempted me with the WRX so I'm not anti-Jap-car by any means.

Accords keep changing styles like every year I get confused everytime I see a new one. Personally I thought the one with the NSX looking tailights was the best style. Now its all plain and boring, though the interior has shaped up quite a bit for a Honda I'm surprised.

And yes Hybrid, you're a ricer. Because uh, I don't have to have a reason you just are.

back to the orginal thread, import vs domestic, from what i have through my 15 years of life, i see imports everywhere, same goes for domestics. all im sayin is that, they should jus make the ultimate JAPANESE/IMPORT vs DOMESTIC car go against eachother, but if that happens, no car will ever b perfect, it jus depends how U modify ur car.

:huh:

Well, when we find those ultimate cars we'll see whos better. I just don't think anybody on either side of the fence will ever decide what is the ultimate import or the ultimate domestic.

Would it be standard production cars like the Corvette Z06 or the Skyline GTR? Or supercars like the Saleen S7 or Ferrari Enzo? I mean it can fairly hard to deside what is the ultimate.

But its obvious the Geo Metro would desimate all. No Contest.

It's dumb when peope say.. "imports suck, just look at the civic". the civic is'nt the only import you know. What if someone said.. "domestics suck... look how slow the 4door focus is". See my point?? There are fast imports (supra/skyline), and fast domestics (camaro/trans am). I see no point in argument in which one is faster, both sides have thier slow cars,imports ...American spec Corolla/ honda civic DX and the domestics... chevy lumina/ American spec escort.

Dumb arguments ;)

As far as Domestic vs Import... there's no justification, it's all into taste.

I've owned s/c mustangs back in the mid 90's running 11's, and to this
day I own *used* to drive a 10 sec civic, and today a low 12 high11 sec
M3 turbo.

Both costed money, one was lower, one was higher, then maintance, it
all balances it out.

i dunno, but ppl will always have their differences though, so wut i think is that the McLaren is close to a perfect car, but the price, THINK ABOUT THE PRICE!!! for the Geo Metro, yeah....its too weird and ugly to explain?

DeViL
04-19-2003, 08:56 PM
Yeah well for a next to perfect car, what do you expect it to cost you?

The thing handles like a god, and doesn't it do like around 11 flat in 1/4 mile. So you got one of the best handling cars out there and one of the fastest straight line cars out of the factory. It's not one or other like most cars, its good at both things.

Oh yeah btw I beat a Focus today in the truck, even with my 330 lb buddy riding with me. Little blue hatchback, I dunno what kind, don't they have like 4 or 5 different versions?

A ricer isnt someone who drives an import; a ricer is a homo with exaust and wing and think his car is the shit with the loudest cheapest exaust money can buy. The Chevy Sledgehammer vette would smoke a skyline, lol. I dont know bout u guys but a growl so deep it rattles ur rib cage (not literally) is alot more intimidating than an exhaust that sounds like a bee. They dont scare me with my soon to be turbo zx2. If i had a cav i would rice it out but i didnt get one cuz the interior just sucks so bad...Not even a tach with the 5 spd. Murco's car is prolly the shits!

DeViL
04-20-2003, 11:47 AM
Well my point is even with a million bucks I bet you yourself couldn't buy parts that would make a car really fast in the 1/4 mile (11's, 10s, lower) and make it handle as good as that McLaren. The car I imagine has been tweaked extremely well for track conditions.

Yeah this was the same guy I was with backing out of my driveway and I though it scraped the exhaust tips on his side. When he's inside its like the truck bends slightly to the passenger side so Im sort of off balance, kind of funny. 6'6 335 lbs precisely according to him. It's like having two passengers in the car lol.

Classic line from that race Friend- "Can you beat a focus?" Me- "Yeah, like this (light turns green second afterwards, take off)"

Probably more than $800,000 of that 1 million is for the name and status. Which are INFINITELY more sought after than being fast. You could do all that, buy the 3 cars and make them faster and everything and have a house and what not, and the guy with the McLaren will STILL be able to get into the places you can't, and get the looks than you won't, and recieve the praise that you won't, and be 1 million times cooler than you in his 1 million dollar car. You have to understand that status and prestige are very high-prices commodities. When you buy something like that, it's not even remotely about being fast.

No, I meant that they put stickers and kits on their vehicles and don't do any proper suspension and engine work. Then they have the nerve to want to race you from stoplight to stoplight. Your car doens't fall into that category, because it is modded in all the right places, and you don't strike me as the kinda person that does street racing (for the most part).

the Maclaren was not perfect for the reason that at high speeds it wasn't entirely stable unlike the Jaguar XJ220. Which inadvertantly found that having a long rear end past the rear wheels provided high stablilty at top speeds. So Maclaren copied it into thier GT racer like every other GT manufacturer :o

The F1 isnt known for being the perfect car, its know for being one of the fastest. Your average Joe prolly wouldnt know an f1 if it spat in his face. I could get the same looks if not more if was in a viper if not more cuz everyone knows what a viper is. I prolly wouldnt know what to make of it at first, id be like hey its hot wheels car...I used to have one of those...

whilst the Viper would get the o look its a viper

wanna bet on that?

how much is a CART or IRL car?

or, say, the corvette C5R that won LeMans (it's class)

or a bunch of other cars.

if you want to talk those numbers,

i'll take a zo6, and do the lingenfelter upgrades, and work the suspension.

and i'll do it for less than 300k.

04-21-2003, 05:18 PM
what does better mean?

if it's faster, handles better, and has better times and top speed, i don't care what it is.

it's better than an f1.

it's not god.

just b/c it cost a million dollars and has all sorts of great stuff, doesn't mean something that has better performance isn't better.

Sure I can, you find me a skyline with any amount of HP in the US that was cost efficient, furthermore how much money do you think it took to tune that skyline to 1000 HP. I want you to do me a favor and look at the size of the turbo on the s13 silvia, now look at the power rating of your GSR in comparison to the silvia. Then take that gigantic turbo and fit it to your b18c1, and tell me which has a higher power output. I don't think honda is better than nissan, and I don't think nissan is better than honda. I do on the other hand find honda more cost efficient, from my calculations its going to cost me a considerable amount more to get my se to run the same number's my del sol does. Then again other's may find it easier and more cost efficient to utilize a nissan motor, I think it is dependant on location.

its cheaper to build a quick nissan then a honda? i don't really think that is tru. i think that it could go either way. it really jus depends on which path u want to take. u bring up the 1000+ hp skyline, but its not exactly the most cost-efficient way to go (in the states). for 1/4 of that, u could put a h/b into the same times as that 1000hp skyline in the 1/4.

jus my .02 :D

hmm valid argument. ;)

No, I meant that they put stickers and kits on their vehicles and don't do any proper suspension and engine work. Then they have the nerve to want to race you from stoplight to stoplight. Your car doens't fall into that category, because it is modded in all the right places, and you don't strike me as the kinda person that does street racing (for the most part).
No worries man, I understand what you mean now. :)

mildly OT, but hybrid, did you see the new turbo that garrett has, from the nissan sentra dubbed "disco potato"?

it's being used on the SCC project 240sx... i just read about it in the new SCC mag...

it's got the same footprint and dimensions as the t25, but can make almost 300hp on the stock motor... nice...

(sorry for the digression)

I don't think that you can just say that foreign is better than domestic, you kind of have to go on a car by car basis to make comparisons.

NSX, why are u gonna give a link to a frackin drag car? If thats the case i could probably show u a summit cav or a dragged out neon that could keep up. No other country has a car
faster than the F1. No wait america has the callaway sledgehammer which is umm faster than the f1 without all the weight reduction and technology. And if u wanna say somethingabout it doesnt count because some guy built it than ur gay and if thats the cse the porsche carrera woulnt count for shit neither would the one lingenfelter helped make. And yes the callaway can be reproduced like the F1.

p.s. lots of u people are forgetting one important factor. American cars are made for american roads, vice versa with imports. Get where im goin? no? American roads generally tend to be more straight without all the eventfull curves and turns, on the other hand jap roads and european roads are full of curves and winds and twist so naturally ur cars are gonna be designed to handle those kinds of conditions. Thats why u dont see little american cars with porsche like handling. The viper isnt slow but its also not a roadster just pure power and it does run 10's with the right tires i guess... NSX i could put a fuckin giant turbo on a geo but so what? there comes a point where its no longer street legal...

this is true, it could, but it isn't. there is only one. whereas the f1 is considered a 'production car' (those were the rules for some of the races that the car was in)

not bashing callaway, cause i would take one real quicklike.

I will start by saying that Pimpclipse is a friggn' idiot! He did make 1, I stress "1," valid point about the roads. The rest is irreversable babble! He is probably one of those people that took the "E" off of the back of the car so it would say, "clipse" on it! I am fairly known here, and I don't attack people. Sometimes one thing leads to another, and something erks me. This post pissd me off for some reason! Probably because I am hung over at work it is still Thursday, and It's 8000 dergrees outside and I have a black on black car in traffic trying to get lunch and then I come back to this bullshit! Actually this whole thread is worn the hell out. Someone please

REMOVE IT!

I've seen integras with T25's, they ussually run low 15's with no other mods besides the turbo (exept for intercooler/ BOV/...). And the Silvia S13 probably runs that fast in the 1/4 as well.

Have you seen SportCompactCar's flat black Silvia S13? They built a stock Silvia S13 for $3,000. GSR's don't go for that low. GSR's go for around $7,500 the lowest nowadays. With $7,500, you can build an S13 that can beat the integra in the 1/4 mile and probably beat it at the track too. The S13 is'nt really that much heavier than an integra, It weights about 2,750 LBS.

Remember, this is about Integras and Silvia, don't bring the civic hybrids in here :D
