i do not know what to do...

Actually, rotary engines were designed by the germans. Wankel is the name of the dude that invented them. They first appeared in NSU's. NSU went out of buisness because of the rotary engine's apex seal. NSU provided a great warranty for their cars, and all the seals on the Ro80 (sweet looking car) went out at around 30k miles. They had to replace them all, and went out of buisness. Before eating it, they designed a front wheel drive drivetrain and sold it to VW. It became the heart of the Golf. NSU went on to be a part of Auto Union, or, Audi.

And Mustangs are just fine. They're basically a big, unbalanced haichi roku with some torque. The mustang we know now (pre '05), has Mac struts and a four link rear. My stepdad has one, and he is the most anal retentive do-it-yourselfer suspension modder I know. Most weekends he's out there in the garage with plumb bobs and various other tools disecting his suspension. If you want to know why the mustang sucks for handling, or why it's good, I could probably tell you. Sometimes it impresses me, and sometimes I see why people say they suck. Just like any other car.

that's your personal opinion.
that same fox body mustang i can build (hell, i'll just use my friends tt 5.0 and show you) can and will run circles around your car.
sideways.

700hp for cheap. great suspension. great wheels/tires.
great handling.
i don't care if you don't like the cars. you've got to admit they can be built, and built well, for cheap.
regardless of whether you like them.

1via.
you're referring to cars that are older than both of us.
65 an 71?
i'm referring to fox body, 79-04.
you're not getting it.

this is an online forum, you think those are our opinions? WELL DUH! you think we are liking calling bob dole and checking with him on what he thinks about mustangs? ok heres a little example to show you how dumb it is to tell someone "thats just your opinion"

me: Celine Dion Sucks!
you: Well that's just your opinion!
me: No shit, sherlock? Who else's opinion would it be?!

now do you see how dumb that statement it?

you can make any car fast, so shut up about making a mustang fast...

oh yea well if I buy a ferrari and I race your mustang I'll win! <-- example of a stupid statement

now can we stop with the stupidity please? THANK YOU!

[flylwsi]

great...
so your opinion is that mustangs suck.
and i can show you they don't... that's F'ing great...

you guys are extremely narrow minded, and honestly, soyo, you're one of the worst, and you've been called out enough to know that...

[1viadrft]

ummmm, but MUSTANGS still suck... and we are not just talking about DRIFT here! I ripped a new one on a MODIFIED 5.0 last week!!! And you know what? I ripped a new one another MOD'FD 5.0 with my STOCK 240sx months ago!!! It's just my EXPERIENCE about those cars... I'm not narrow-minded, Jack! GEEZ: this is gonna turn into another GTO forum! sHIT... Well, since it has been dished-out already... here's a stupid statement for you, FLYLWSI: MY CAR CAN BEAT YOUR CAR!

[flylwsi]

without being redundant, i've got some friends with 300hp mustangs that run 10's.
the 700hp car will be in the 9's and lower. street legal, with cats on it.

mustangs don't suck.

you are part of the reason that domestics hate imports.

[1viadrft]

good... cus I hate domestics!

[drftk1d]

so yeah back on topic, i think that given a budget only for driftin, then i'd choose an Rx-7 (any year) because of the good weight distrubution and decent aftermarket support (ie racing beat). plus there hasnt been a bad looking rx7 yet.

[1viadrft]

yup... an Rx7 or 240sx.... all the way!

hey, don't get pissed at me, even when I said mustangs suck I said "you probably don't care what I think" notice I said, 'what I think'. a shelby would be all I would take, screw the rest, I hate them, everyone has one, they make euro tailights for them now, I hate them, all there is to it.

you said you can show me they don't suck... you sure? wanna make a wager on that? I don't care how fast you make it or how cool you make it look, mustangs suck, I hate them. plus I'm not talking about oh they suck and you can't build them up, cuz you can, and they can be fast, but I could make a honda accord or a ford pinto or geo prizm fast too, but are you gonna say those cars don't suck? when I talk about a car, I'm talking about the stock car, you can midify anything, so I could care less about a modified car. plus you couldn't change my mind anyways, me saying mustangs suck is a personal preference, you can't change what I think, its impossible, only I can change what I think, and I'm not gonna, cuz mustangs suck

I've been called out enough for being narrow minded? me narrow minded? how does saying mustangs suck make me narrow minded? so if someone says, "I hate pizza, it sucks" they are narrow minded? not liking something is narrow minded? yea so now everyone knows how dumb you are because you think I'm narrow minded for not liking mustangs, good one! and when have I been called out for being narrow minded before? I believe I said in the GTO thread that I thought the GTO would drift good. the only thing people could have said I was narrow minded about is when I say FF can't drift, but they can't, so thats stupid anyways.

now I hope you'll stop trash talking me with incorrect information, because I haven't been called out for being narrow minded untill you just said it, and that doesn't even count cuz all I said was I don't like mustangs and they suck, which is a personal preference, and has nothing to do with being narrow minded

oh and for future reference: narrow minded is like when people say Japanese cars suck cuz they aren't American, or vise-versa(sp?) hopefully you understand that. uncase you don't, narrow minded would also be like when computers first started getting popular, some people were "narrow-minded" and didn't like computers, just because they were something new.

ok ready for your vocabulary test now?

[1viadrft]

here-here, Soyo! Well spoken!

[1stGenRocks]

buy my talon from me with the extra 3k you can slap on a turbo and kick ass

[1viadrft]

No... Talon's suck too!

[drftk1d]

since when did this become the " (insert car name here) sux" thread. If i was mod i'd close this.

AF drifting forums is out of hand. Really.

You aren't beating jack in your stock atmo auto 300zx except your man-meat. Get your hand off it.
And a stock KA powered 240sx beating a modded 5.0? again
get your hand off it.
