Re: Fastest Street Car On Style

The usual internet keyboard cowboys. I'll back Swanny up on this one, xyz mods list or even dyno charts does not equal xyz timeslips. These cars are hard to tune and drive consistently at the track, and unless you have nothing better to do than be at the track every weekend, you're not going to see a 10-second pass out of a 10-second car right away. I've had a low 11-second car for six years, yet due to one thing or another, I've barely got out of the 12's. And I'd rather make my car nice while doing it than slapping some big turbo on a $500 piece of shit just for the sake of getting a nice timeslip. It takes a lot of money and time, and having the two never comes at the same time.

For those that think they can all do better because they've read about someone else doing it, get out and do it yourself instead of telling someone what their car *should* do.

Fucking AMEN.
Oh and I am still trying for 10's this weekend though, we'll see what happens to prevent that.

Well put steve. Until people are waving timeslips, I'd say an 11 is quite an accomplishment. Woulda, coulda, but didn't. People should start turning that last word into DID.

Re: Fastest Street Car On Style

I honestly am pretty blown away with an 11.5, I've never been in a car that fast, so it's a whole new frontier for me when i get in something with more than 400 hp.

As far as AWD goes, I was sad because i'd never experienced an AWD launcho before untill I remembered doing a burnout in a porsche 996TT at morries in the detail bay. lol. I got yelled at, but only by a minion, so it was all cool.

Not trying to single anybody out. But enough of the cattle prodding. Post something worth while or don't post at all.

Otherwise I'll get more people reporting the post due to everyone knowing everything about everything and it does nothing but clutter up my e-mail!

Swanny's car is nuts! Vassil and EvilEvo are currently proven faster already and consistant from what I hear. Shane's got the top number. And overall these fast cars just get ripped on for trying new stuff and posting up how they are doing. Personally if people keep bitching then all the fast cars will keep shit to themselves and we wouldn't have all sorts of combos tested out. I have people bitching who have never made a pass at the track. Shut the fuck up please Rant off.

About time someone mentioned about Vassil. His car is quick but most important it is consistant. Everytime I see it at the track it ran consistant times.

Re: Fastest Street Car On Style

Somebody lock this thread. It turning into a bloody bashing thread instead of what it is intended to do. If I wanted to listen to this shit I would of still be part of some of those lame ass Honda sites. We all know who has some of the fastest street cars and most of us are trying to catch up with them. Who cares if you have a Honda, Chevy, Geo, Suzuki, DSM, Ford or some other car. If it is fast it is fast. Some of you guys are beginning to sound like bunch women wining. If you have a slow ass car and be like a man and admit it. If you don't even have a car and have something to say than just state the facts. Stop this cyber racing shit. I know most of the guys who is on this web site that can back their cars up and I for sure am not going to prove them wrong. Well someday when my car gets up and running but till than we all know who has the fasted car on this site. If you believe you are faster put a time slip up and prove yourself if not shut the f up. Man I justed wasted 2 min of my time writing this shit. Like I say shut up and lets race.

Re: Fastest Street Car On Style

Yea this is getting pretty rediculous. Fast is fast no matter how you cut it. Taking a boat of a car -3S- and having a goal to build something that no one else has ever built is unique in itself and its very awesome.

Im sure it has more capabilities in it and will probably only get faster or broken.. those are the only two options here. When you mod any car no matter what brand or what kind of engine, there will always be problems and some cars just need more refinement then others. Especially when you consider that a 50 trim 3S has never really been done before, and pretty much anyone can build up a camaro witha huge V8 and some NOS. There is a bit of a difference between those cars.

Money will always be a factor as well, Id say its the biggest one. Props to everyone with fast cars, its hard work and should be appreciated and not bashed. I hate how everyone always has to "have the fastest car." Im frankly glad I got out of that phase, because I greatly enjoy being in the drivers seat and not underneath my car everyday.

Sure I drive a 14 second German cone machine, and ill admit its not super fast, but I love it to death and it dominates the DSM in terms of quality and just pure driving enjoyment.

You make no sense, you cry cause I started this thread and then you say this? You have been sniffing too much fucking exhaust.

Yeah I am a prick for starting this thread, do you think I care? Anything I have said in here or will say I will say right to your face and any of you know that. There is a lot of people on here that are straight up pussies in person but cock off on the computer like no other.

Like I have been saying all along, this internet shit is serious fucking buisness.

I replied like I did so this thread could actually turn into something. I could honestly give a fuck if people actually understand how fast or how slow my car is. To me it is what I've built, and I like it. When I feel like going faster, I upgrade, its that simple.
Being the fastest street car, or the slowest street car really doesn't mean dick. I like my car, its damm fast (even for my crazy ass) and to me, that is what matters. I get to take out the occasional small bike (less than 1000cc), sneak up on the ocasional noob, and thrown down on the track. What else could I ask for?
