Making fun
 
What's your favorite car to make fun of?

1969Mach1 05-31-2002 11:33 PM

I like all cars but Honda's. I had to pick the prelude.

Honda's are like tampons, every pussy has one.

Wait! Can I say that on here? But ya gotta admit it's pretty funny. Ladies don't get mad at me, I do appologize if I offended you though. =)

§am.

mustang2002 05-31-2002 11:53 PM

Hey man that was a good one. Yeah Honda's do suck!

1969Mach1 06-01-2002 07:20 AM

hahaha... thanks, I hope I didn't offend anyone. Well let me correct myself. I hope I didn't offend any Mustang owners. Honestly I have nothing agaist Honda's it's just those damn rice boys who try to "Soup" it up, and then try to bs me with there car, and how there going to do there exhaust and intake and have all this power, and I try to tell them what exactly it's going to do but they're to stupid to even know what's going on.

BWWWWAAAHAHAHHHA!!! Actually, I thought that was quite funny! :D
Yeah, I voted for the Honda as well, but I have a couple of cars high on my Hate list, and I cant help but cringe and make a face when I see them on the road!!!!!!!

People who drive a Honda are like a teacher out of work...No Class!!

Mustangbelle306 06-01-2002 01:38 PM

I chose the Viper. Its easy to make fun of an old dude that just shelled out $60K for a car that can be mercilessly spanked by a Mustang or F body with some modifications, and costs 1/4-1/2 (new SS) of the price :D

9/10 Viper drivers are not true performance euthansists. Their car is their mechanical trophy wife. Give me a hooked up F body or Mustang any day!

How many Vipers have you driven lately? None around here, it would seem. I like your fantasy-world view of things, but when reality sets in, you'll have lost. Hard.

Take care,

VIPERS ROCK!!!!!!
 
I have to beg to differ on this one!!!! I drove a VIPER last year and that was one bad MOFO!!!!!!! I never got it outta 3rd gear for fear of running over the neighbors mailboxes or taking out the neighbor kids.........
MAN.......that was some MAJOR power under my *****!!!!!! Id love to have that bad boy parked in my garage! :)
Three thumbs UP for the VIPER !!!!!!! :cool: TNT

Mmkay...no one said it was ME racing a viper...I don't even race civics darlin...

I'm looking at a 1/4 mile time for a Dodge Viper Venom 550 as 12.6, and a Dodge Viper Venom 600 as 13.3.

http://www.syclone.freeserve.co.uk/rivals_cars.htm

And here I read about a 800 hp TT Viper still running 10s...since most Mustangs are equipped to run the 1/4, its reasonable for me to believe that a Mustang with money invested could compete AND beat an outrageously expensive Viper...even though the Viper would SMOKE IT in 0-60. Doesn't seem very fantasy-like to me. It also mentions that the stock Viper runs a 12.2...I know of plenty Mustangs that would give that snake some good competiition!

http://www.motortrend.com/june01/ttviper/1.html

So my fantasy world seems to be based in someone else's reality. I didn't say a stock Mustang, now did I? I said it would be nicer to spend that $60K on BUILDING a Mustang/Camaro, and racing a STOCK Viper...perhaps you missed that in the first post :)

Mustangbelle306 06-02-2002 11:30 AM

I just wanted to restate (in case it wasn't clear in the previous post) that my comparison was dollar to dollar, car vs. car. Of course, I could spend $8K and buy a stock sportbike that outruns both! But I'm restricting my comparo to creatures of the 4 wheeled steel variety ;)

Unit 5302 06-02-2002 11:41 AM

The older RT/10's really don't impress me much. I went 400mi back from Tucson, AZ to the border of TX with two RT/10's. Neither was a whole lot faster than my 87GT. Few cars in the 1/4 mile maybe. Certainly not a whole lot top end either. The older Viper's top out at 160mph because of serious drag.

The newer one's with the supposed 450hp are a lot faster. I also firmly disagree with the idea a low/mid 12sec car is somehow the be all end all of performance. My 02GT with a twin turbo setup would kill that. A supercharged 96+ Cobra would own that. It's not too hard to make an 11sec car if you have 50k to dump into it. Or 10k for that matter.

Eric4Nitrous 06-02-2002 01:45 PM

Vipers are TOO overpriced! Hell, I'm not scared of a viper!! I eat them as snacks!!

PKRWUD 06-02-2002 01:46 PM

The Viper I see most often (several times a week) is a Carol Shelby signed limited edition. It sounds like a Pro-Stocker. It is one of the fastest cars I have ever seen driven on the street. While it tends to be true that the median age of Viper owners is higher than that of Mustangs or F-bodies, so is the purchase price. Is it worth it?. Most definately. If I had the money to spend on one, I'd do it in a heartbeat. Of course, if I had that kind of money, I would also have a completely restored 69 Judge, and a Boss 429, two of the cars on my "must have before I die" list. The money people spend on a new Mustang could build an incredibly fast Fox body, but some people would rather have a new car, than build an old one.

Take care,
-Chris

TAKEN FROM FR 500 REVIEWS

FR 500 Mustang
415 horsepower @ 6800 rpm
4.6-second 0 to 60 time
12.7-second quarter mile
Top speed is about 175 mph
Performance numbers gained on street tires

Under the hood:

A 4.6-liter, 4V aluminum block, enlarged to 5.0-liter displacement by using spray bore technology.
High-flow 4-valve cylinder heads with more radical cam profiles
Variable geometry magnesium intake manifold
Dual 80mm mass air sensors
Dual 70 mm throttle bodies
High-flow stainless steel tubular headers
Powertrain:

Dual-disc Valeo clutch
Tremec T56 six-speed transmission
Metal matrix composite drive shaft
Torsen TR2 limited slip differential
4.10:1 ratio, 8.8-inch ring and pinion gears

Serious suspension tuning (the wheelbase is extended by 5 inches, for instance) gives the car a 50/50 weight distribution. Much of the body is carbon fiber.Top speed has been estimated at 175 mph. Forget Camaro and Firebird here—these numbers go beyond even the 2000 SVT Cobra R, and put the FR500 right up into the rarefied performance air of Corvettes and Vipers.It would be sad if Ford's Racing Technology group and its Special Vehicle Engineering unit were not working together to make a version of the "Ultimate Mustang" that you can buy off an SVT showroom floor.

Until then, the only way to get your hands on Ford's "Ultimate Mustang" is to wait until Davis' engineers make all of the FR500's components available in the FRPP catalog.

Excellent choice on the Judge, they are gorgeous cars. Especially with the Ram IV package. Persoanlly, MustangBelle and myself are planning to restore a 1966-1967 Chevy Malibu. There's just something about the styling that cannot be replicated in the 70s'-00's.

imports are for preople who don't know how to work on cars, afraid of cubic inches, and like the wheezing fart of 99 horses:D

new gimpala sucks. a bit of coolness as the 94-96 SS RWD.now its a stupid uglified POS
viper is a slick piece of work...for twice the price of an 03 cobra it better be. i'd still be super paranoid about owning one.

ponticass assteck sucks:p
any "pos" rice car (not honda's, toyotas, or mitsu's, nissan) but real "P.O.S's" (kias' daewoos, hyundai's)<- probably the worst cars made by man...ever

0h n0 5.0 06-02-2002 09:33 PM

man ya left out the ghetto ridden 79-89 chevy caprices classics with the 20's, side exit, low hangin dual exhaust pimpin by with the mirror tint.. anybody? err... jus a southern thing I guess :D

Hehehe, funny you should say that, before I had my 69 SS, I also had a 66 Chevelle. That is still my favorite year for them. Good luck with your project!

I actually saw a Kia with a big exhaust tip Friday, I had to look twice. I don't know why people would want a car made in Korea, it shocks me to see so many of them on the road.

I have no problem with a stock(not riced up) Prelude, its a chicks car and most that I've seen driving them look pretty darn good. The Viper is a pretty nice car, though I wouldn't own one for the simple reason that its a Chrysler product.

You think that's bad? I saw a Kia with a window banner that said "KIA PERFORMANCE". I had to pull off the road for a few minutes until the tears of laughter subsided......

Mustangbelle306 06-04-2002 09:55 PM

Kia Performance = oxymoron :D

1969Mach1 06-05-2002 04:02 PM

lmao...... Damn those Kia's. lol And yeh I seen a Kia with a Kia Performance banner. I got a good kick out of that. lol I will admit I don't mind the new Tiburons overly much. Not for speed (obviously) but for the type of car it's not a bad little car for looks. They are a pain in the *** to get in and out of cause they're so small though.

mustanggt350 06-05-2002 06:52 PM

Rice burners hands down. Up here in Washington, they are the most annoying things. I have to laugh every time a kid pulls up next to me in some slammed Honda Civic, sitting sideways on the drivers side, sunglasses, hat about ready to fall off his head, hand over the steering wheel, looking at me with a big smile and revving that gerbil under the hood. Please..... I almost feel sorry for them, you know being spanked by a girl and all. :D

But I have to admit they have some petty kickass car shows. NOS here, NOS there, BOOM, NOS everywhere. The world would not be as fun for us if we didn't have anyone to pick on!! :D

Saw one the other day. Not bad looking 6 spd. Thought it was a neat little car.

BUT

Just wait someone (wait) hundreds of them will be running around painted lime green using surfboards as wings......

The shop in Houston where I get my car dynoed is a Viper shop, TNT Motorsports. When I was there last time, the car coming off the dyno ahead of me was one of their special projects (about $40,000 on top of the $85,000 for the new original car).

It registered 600 RWHP on the motor (as apposed to 480 at the crank, stock) and 900 RWHP with the 300 shot. This outfit makes some mind boggling Vipers.

I don't think I would ever dis Vipers after what I saw.

elliotness 06-09-2002 10:06 PM

Wow!!!!! That thing is making some huge numbers. I don't know how you could ever poke fun at a monster like that. I think a read in some magazine that there was one producing over 800hp with twin turbos anyone else see that article???
