Rice vs Muscle

[72nova]

Dont get me wrong i have alot of respect for rice burners the only reason why is cause they can get a four banger hunk of shit to atleast do decent speeds but lets face it they cannot compete with american muscle cars.

all the ricers have to have NOS and turbos what a bunch of bullshit and what a waste of money. i just bought a 1972 chevy nova and researched it i will have to spend 10k on the restoration and it will smoke any ricer. mostly because under the hood is a recon 496 rat motor that puts out 500 horses.

im not saying muscle cars are unbeatable with rice burners im just saying it will cost 5 times more money and in the end muscle cars look better run better and win 99% of the time compared to shitty ricers.

Enough already just shut the fuck up. No one cares about your overly-biased opinions so go bother another website. Extremist attitudes like that are not tolerated here.

[YellowMaranello]

The guy in my sig says everything I think about what you just said.

Wow, what an amazingly uninformed opinion. Is this based on any actual information, or just a desire to stir up yet another import vs. domestic debate? So it's unfair to run forced induction in a 4 cyl. up against a 496 c.i. V8? You realise that all forced induction and nitrous do, in effect, is make a small displacement motor breathe like a larger one right? So you can bore out an engine to get more air into the cylinders, but you can't use a turbo? In more direct defense of imports, why is it always assumed that you must spend huge sums of money to make them fast? Not every import enthusiast spends $5K to buy a bolt on turbo kit. Some actually build their own engines, and fabricate their own forced induction systems. Import tuners are just as capable of building a fast car on a budget as domestic tuners, they just go about it in a different way. Just learn to accept the fact that there is no import vs. domestic debate. We all enjoy cars, that's all there is to it. Stop trying to pick a fight.

I cant decide either to call you a troll or ogre. But be warned, the flaming will start. So be prepared to back up your statements with facts. "muscle cars look better and winn 99% of the time"?. Well I think my car looks better than a 1972 chevy nova, and with 10k in mods anyone could make any car fly imports or domestic.

[GirlracerZrule]

I think thats excatly what your trying to do start a fight..............your probaly just one of those cocky slow bitches that never wanna race because they always have an excuse whine whine. And you think your domestics are soo fast pfft. Listen buddy you can take a domestic or a Import and make it fast it doesn't matter the car it just matters what kinda money you got. You can take any import stock and but a bunch of money in it and it'll beat ya domestics all day any day. You can do the same with a domestic. pfft stfu you have absolutley no clue what you're talking about ovbiously............damn boy you need a car role model.

[GirlracerZrule]

Oh yea btw.............99% of the time is not at all acurate or if you think so bring ya shit and we'll race and then i'll make those so called "satistics" go up. And by saying that domestics look better any are better you just make yourself look even stupider. Because its your own opinion dumbass. Why the fuck are you trying to change our point of view anyways your not gona. If we cared what you thought about domestics and Imports we would probaly ask you duhh duhh but honestly i don't think anyone cares seeing at the respondes you got lol you're just trying to start shit and your wrong already so back da fuck off bitch.

Hey man, I don't really care what you plan to put in your car or how fast you think your car will be a year from now. What you got now, is what you got. And my naturally aspirated 4 cylinder with less than a grand in engine mods will tear you a new one, from a standstill, from a roll, on the road, through the dirt, around a racetrack / solid line / dotted line / dashed line / night / day / dusk / dawn / winter / summer / etc. Point being, you're talking a lot of crap for someone with a slow car.

And last but not least:

[youngvr4]

i'm not tryna make things worse but when he says rice does that mean civics and what not or does that mean any asian car.
cause if so he's a damn idiot

[Layla's Keeper]

So, Honda and Toyota needed nitrous and turbos to dominate this year's IRL Championship (which is all V8, I might add)? And how about the Ferrari 575GT Maranello which has stomped on the Corvette this year in ALMS competition. Nitrous and turbos again?

Should I bring up the Infiniti Q45's V8 or have I proven my point easily enough.

I agree with Devil. Shut up. You have nothing of value to say, no information to add, and your bias is so blatant it's repulsive.

Oh, and by the way, sure you didn't mean 396? There never was a factory 496, from anyone. Closest there is to that displacement is the Cadillac 472 used in Coupe DeVilles and Eldorados during the latter half of the 60's and early 70's.

[LjasonL]

With an attitude like that, you can bet he means anything other than a Mustang, Camaro, or old muscle car.

[Cl0ak]

Regardless of what you drive you should respect other people's cars imports or domestics. I have two american cars but that doesn't mean I have to hate all imports, and I respect any import that can walk me. Maybe you just need to open your mind to other things.

[72nova]

ok,

im not saying all you ricers are bad and for the dumbass who says they dont make a factory 496 they dont but go onto www.summitracing.com and checkout the engines department they make a remanufactured recon 496 rat motor.

I think i wrote my statment wrong i have respect for ricers alot of respect but till this day i have not seen one yet that can keep up with muscle cars, im not trying to sway your opinons or attack your hobbies im just trying to state my opion and if it is stated strongly you just need to deal with it. you clicked on the link not me.

if one of you can prove me wrong so be it but till this day domestic can still beat ricers and you guys just have to face the facts. and also im not trying to start a fight more of a debate not for people to cuss each other out but to get a better understanding of another persons hobbies.

[-The Stig-]

Thanks buddy... Thanks for completely ruining the image I had spent the last year and half showing that Muscle car owners aren't assholes...

Thank you...

Worst of all, you've got same damn car as me...

Ugh...


Lets see some pictures of this '72 Nova... I also want to see pictures of your Recon 496 Big Block. What tranny are you going to run? Rear end?


Octagon, the Chevy 8.1L Vortec big block is a 496. Basically a worked over 454. A 502 (8.2L) is a whole different bore/stroke combo.

[Decoy]

Redneck, if you don't like the ruined image, or the fact he has the same car as you, you can always send your car to me I'll take it off your hands. You can have my Caprice It has red stripe's on the back the reflect light when a car comes (the cops were to lazy to take all the stripes off) and is has a jesus fish It is regularly mistaken for a cop car, so some cops let it slip by and most people avoid speeding and flying past you. It's 1-0 too I beat a Grand Am several lights in a row with my big baby.
