Why Are Import Racers Cocky

[smokin' joe]

It is getting really bad in my town with all the import racing crowed that think that their honda's have so much more power than are V-8 muscles cars. I'm not trashing them but im sick of the attitudes. The thing that i hear the most is "we spend half as much making are cars faster." well i am going to tell you all somethin' they also have half the motor.
sorry if this makes some one mad

alot of v-8 also come with alot of luxury items/parts/functions that also increase the price. Alot if imports wont see that because there is no need to with half the power of a v-8. Also in the end, a real import that is customized to have the power,system , and luxury of a v-8 will come out about even. I will tell you what a very knowledgeable tuner told me here on AF. "if a v-8/v-10,12 decides to tune their car like we do, don't race it. we are talking boosting to make the power of a v-8 and there making the power of a v-8. so what if they boosted? Don't race it." Also it is not the cylinders that make that price. it is the luxury alot of 4 bangers don't have.cause they don't need it.

I find domestic V-8 owners to be just as cocky as the import crowd around here.

Why are domestic owner's so cocky? This is just going to turn into a domestic vs imports flame war. Every gender of automobiles has their cocky drivers. Imports, Domestics, Hondas, Fords, Mustangs, Civics. The point is, you're just getting angry at the people and not the imports themselves. You put that same person who's being cocky in any car, such as an M3, Mustang, Supra and they still are going to be cocky. So don't be classifying all import owners as "cocky". Comprende? L8...

It's true that import "racers" are cocky. But the guys you see that are cocky are not really import racers (usually), they're stupid crackers (like me) that have a Civic and have spent all their money on a body kit and a fart can. I hate to come down on my own movement like this (well not my...but you get what I mean) but I really do hope that it crashes and burns because I don't want to be like everybody else and to be clustered into a stereotype with all the other ricers by people with real cars i.e. muscle cars. But at the same time I hope that we get more and more cocky slow ricers so that people think my car is slow. I really do have respect foe muscle car owners even if they have no respect for me.
I hope all that made sense, I may not have gotten all of my ideas down on...uh...paper?...because I type slow, but I hope you all can get an idea of what I was saying, and not be too angry with me for defying a stereotype, and or hating the movement that I'm a part of.

That statement can really go both ways. I used to be into Camaros and that kind of muscle car stuff, but then i moved on to Hondas. I like them and i find the opposite to be true of what you said earlier. I find that a lot of domestic owners are cocky and then they tend to be pissy when they lose.

I'm not saying they always lose, but i have a friend w/ a Civic hatch with a B18C1 swap and turbo and he smoked some cocky ass in a 88 IROC camaro. That made that guy angry and he seems to be more of a prick now then ever.

To be completely honest, people who drive imports think they are badass because of The Fast And The Furious. But both domestic and import drivers have their sour bunch who think their cars are unstoppable. I'm an auto enthusiast, an whatever makes fall into that category, so be it

I have nothing against those races, Im just comparing the title of the thread to other such stupid arguments.

[drewh4386]

yeah, everybody wants to be that dom guy or that brian spilner guy. I just like to drive fast/tune no matter what car i am in. i love eclipses but i still want a corvette. See. Cockiness comes from any side thinking/wanting/hoping to be better than the other. all in all, import racers are really cocky because they think they have something to prove. like the odds or against them or something. (and because of that damn movie. "true" tuned import cars aren't wasted on silly v-8 races at a stoplight. they are used at the track where it really matters.

[RickwithaTbird]

This is stupid.







Everyone knows V8s are better.
