12 second cars

[op012503]

hehe this forum cracks me up. But i have to say that right now (im 19) i would prefer a tuner car over a really expensive supercar. I think that tuning and customizing is a wonderful thing. A person who modifies a car to look the way that best suits his/or her personallity has more to show than someone who walked into a dealership and laid down more money than some will ever earn in their lives. I mean how much can you do to a ferarri? If i had one i wouldnt even open the hood. I'd just admire it through the glass. I love porsches and ferarri's but im not ready for em.
and the thing about the 12 second car???Did you really think the diablo's and the enzo's are drag cars?

Yeah i mean honestly think about this for a second-the ferrari's are overall performance cars. In order to get a honda into 12's youd pretty much have to focus on just the drag aspect with suspension and tuning. These cars accomplish 12 second timeslips with increadible handling and braking. You build a 12 second honda and take it onto a roadcourse...good luck buddy

Ace your apathy towards other people is inspiring

really, i think its quite gay if you ask me, but my opinion wasn't asked. That's one of the thing's i hate about this board. You ask a newb question then you get yelled at especially if your a newb. But if your someone who's been on for a while with like 300+ post it's ok. It's complete bull.... There's only a few people who actually give good input and one of them is Maxspeedhonda, i remember back in the day when i would just spout out stupid questions to him, he'd never get mad or tell me to search he'd just answer my questions the best he could. We need more people like that in these forums. That's my daily rant for today

what is with all these rich people who have $250k cars and dont make them faster. and don't tell me that the factory already made them fast enough. im sure you could put a couple of turbos on an enzo. and if you could afford an enzo you can afford to put another $100k in the engine. I jsut want to see people put as much time and money into their super cars as they do into their shitty hondas.

xixgenuine i totally agree with you. i post here, @ accordingly done, powerlifting forums, and saltwater forums (i have a large moray), and it's unbelievable the difference between those boards and this one. everyone here has something to prove. i started this thread to understand the differences of why people would spend so much more, and everyone who actually knows has to talk so condescendingly. it's pathetic, it's like people feel better about themselves cuz they're dix on forums that are for exchanging info, nothing more. people who post things that are not informative should be banned

[jazer80]

reed - i get the impression that few people who purchase fast cars use them the way they were designed for. i mean i know i don't see enzos, or even many ferraris for that matter on the road, but don't you hate how everytime you see an sl500, porsches, and stuff like that, the owners always drive them like a camry? once in a while i'll see like an m5 whip by me or something, but of all the boxsters i've seen on the road i've never seen one going fast. hahaha - actually half the time i see boxsters they're being driven by women. but i guess what im' saying is that all too often i see better porsches being driven by old men in the slow lane, same goes for sl's, and i doubt that they save their cars for the track either. it's such a status thing. they should just hook up those less fortunate than them with addictions to speed

Talk about bickering over misunderstandings, shit. Maybe a new forum called Automotive DAY CARE should be started... just my thoughts

[Auto_newb]

I know, I hate these jackasses that come onto this board and can't follow the AF guidelines, just cuz some people got like 3k posts, they go like "I got the freedom of speech, lalala...., so I got the right to do whatever I want, just cuz I contribute, and all newcomers are waaay under me cuz I can suck up to mods all I want"

For people who have never read the guidelines cuz they clicked through everything when registering cuz they never give it a second thought, here it is:
GUIDELINES

Remember, there are no stupid questions, there is a big difference between stupidity and ignorance. But of course, once in a while you get stupid people.

has anyone here ever driven a ferarri? I have and trust me the car needs nothing (at least engine wise). I drove a beautiful 575m with f1 tranny. granted only for about 5 minutes around the block. The car is worth every penny. Dont hate me

[op012503]

btw if anyone wants a 12 sec car just swap in a b18c or an h22a into a crx and with a few bolt on's you'll be running high 12's

Common man you gotta be kidding.

If you have an Enzo you dont NEED to be faster, the car is UN-controlable for an amateur normal driver. Proffesional Top Gear drivers are afraid to push it to the limits. Its like having a Modena with red underglow, plain stupid.

Believe me, drive a fast car and youll see why you dont have to mod them. Ive driven a 13sec porsche, and damn! I would leave it stock.

[Reed]

there is no such thing as not needing to be faster. everything needs to be faster. the only thing that makes cars too hard to drive is torque steer and i doubt that a machine like an enzo has much of that.

I've driven fast cars, my friend has a dodge shadow that runs mid 12s and it is kinda hard to drive jsut because he has no lsd and his slicks hook up pretty good, well the right front hooks up. anyhow that still needs to be faster.

[civickiller]

yes people do pay 200k for cars that are just as fast as honda, but like everyone else said, its all done for the women. ok you got yoru honda and a lambo sitting right next to you, who is the girl gonna go for, whos gonna get laid that night. the lambo.
and it brings up yoru status to be seen in an expensive car, even if its ugly

Not that it matters, but I feel sorry for someone who has to rely on a car to get women. Not to mention that the kind of women you'd get because of having a supercar isn't exactly my idea of a good catch...sorry that my post is rather pointless
