Oh! Wait a minute...one more!!!
Just when I thought I had a performance oriented, all-American Mustang guy for a neighbor...yeah, one of my neighbor's teen-age sons! He asked to see under the hood of what he called "your little Import" (he referred to my "05 WRX). I pop'd the hood and waited for a technical-related comment and comparison to his "***-kicking STANG" (as he likes to call it). INSTEAD!!!...he said the following...which made me wonder and question...what exactly is it that makes a car guy "a car guy"!!!? Hhhhmmmm!!! ANYWAYS!...He said, "Your car must heat up a lot and that's why they put TWO (2) "radiators"!!! YES! He pointed at the "radiator" (thank God!)...but also at the Top Mount Intercooler AT THE SAME TIME!!!!!!!!
He's lucky I didn't close the hood on his fingers!!!

 

subeerex

yeah subaru put 2 radiators on my car too!!
does he have a fancy aerodynamic mullet or a rebal flag to go with that powerhouse of american muscle?

 

thats a bunch of crap! EVERYONE knows that american cars are way too fast for an import. just go to a trailer park and ask around. and yeah rebel flag on the intercooler and a picture of joe dirt on the hood

 

the only stupid thing i''ve ever got was in town goin about 20 mph and some kids on the corner yelled for me to do a burnout. i give that a possibility rating of 0 for my car

 

Well, a lot of the domestic cars ARE faster than the imports. Even the grandma Impalas....

 

you have to look at the imports though. a civic should not be put up against an impala. they are in a whole different ball game. so yes some domestics are faster than imports but if you match them up by purpose(sports car, economy, family, etc, etc) then the playing field is generally in our favor, in my opinion. alot of imports are still in the fuel economy classes so the comparison of imports and domestics is a little harder to do. rx-7 vs. cavalier= not fair. STI vs. town and country= well ok that would be one hell of a race. i understand what you are saying. i'm trying to put similar cars together. camaros and mustangs have never and will never impress me

 

sinister that last post you quoted looked like i was yelling at you. i wasn't i was just sarcastic as can be. echo vs. aveo? is the impala(with the exception of the new v-8) faster than the acura 3.2cl? i dont know 0-60 but i would think the 3.2 is quicker....i hope so anyway or i'll look like a dumb a**

 

this thread is some funny sh*t..........My favorite question- (while they are looking at the 6-speed) is that automatic? "yeah it's automatic" ( making sure im in neutral)

 

Sorry, guys - I've moved several posts to the Dumpster. Please do not post any references, obvious or implied, about street racing or speed contests that do not take place on a sanctioned road course or drag strip. Alex has expressed his wishes for i-Club on that topic here.

Thanks for your consideration.

No problem, bro. I didn't get that impression from your post at all.

As for Camaros and Mustangs, they impress me just the same as STis and Evos impress me. Some do, some don't. They both offer great rushes and excitement in different ways.

I can't wait for the next Camaro to debut, because I am THERE (provided it doesn't weigh a ton). My next car will be the next Camaro.

 

Yes guys please do.
I don't want this thread going in random thought's/ off topic.
Thanks wingless for not moving it.

Was driving one of my friends home in my car the other day and after about a block or so she turned to me and asked "why is your car no nosie? It sounds like my mom's old Volkswagen. " I just turned and said ' so.....good movie huh'

Me= 4.5 inch tip. HKS exhaust, that might have something to do with it.

 

My wife constantly gets asked if her car has a turbo. In her 2001 2.5 RS..

 

I once got asked if they come with a hood scoop or if I added mine.

 

Boxer engine...Oh you have a porsche engine? -.-

Ive also had people correct me and tell me that its a car. -_- dunno what it is w/ the porsches lol

I don't know what the syupidest question I've gotten was....people don't ask me amny questions, maybe I always look too pissed off so people are afraid to come up to me
