LOL. Wrong choice of words to describe the car, but I see where your going.
Well let me tell you when it became mainstream. There once was a movie called the fast and the furious. That featured honda civics and cars of that multitude. Now, in the movie and real life to make a 4 cyl. pump out 250 or more hp is crazy and deserves some credit. Throwing on the body kit I guess helps the aerodynamics.
But like I said I see where your coming from. Its hilarious over here. People throw on their exhaust and think their car is fast. I cant tell you how many cars around here have one color for the car, then the primer grey for the body kit. It was about 2 years ago but I actually witnessed a spoiler fall off when the kid was shutting the trunk of his pimped out ride. They throw in sound systems and when they drive buy you hear the whole outside of their car rattle. But once again, when your a teenager trying to be cool....No, thats not cool, nevermind. Yeah, people need to knock off the crap. They hang out at dunkin donuts and this kid there says his chevy cavalier has over 300 hp. LOL. Riiiiight. Why do I say that? Because he threw on a new hood, body kit, spoiler, and we asked him what was in the engine, and he said I just paid a guy to put everything in it, I dont know. LOL. You mean to tell me you gave a guy thousands of dollars and you dont even know what you spent it on? Anyways, your right, there is no point, these people could have saved up all that money they spent on their G-Unit spinners, and bought a real sports car.

That type of modification is wide-spread throughout the world. What is the point of sticking 800BHP into a stupid old muscle car, and then getting about 3mpg? You can't go over 70mph. In the UK we focus on the appearance of the car. Why? Because it is cheaper, image counts for alot and street racing is very uncommon. My car is a 2.0 litre Golf Mk IV. I have only really modifed the exterior and the sound system. But I do have a racing exhaust and induction system which does make a significant difference.
And you stated about getting 250BHP out of a Civic is alot. Not particularly, as they have 197BHP standard in the UK (Well the type-R has). Some UK small engined cars can have in excess of 300BHP, without a hint of a super or turbocharger. There is a tuning company that is local to me and has many mighty fast Japanese imports. For instance they have 4 or 5 800BHP+ Skylines. Many 450BHP+ Evo's and a 1200BHP Supra. I would take a 450BHP Evo 6 over any American muscle car, anyday. Simply because the handling and traction is unbelievable, with a fair amount of power for straight sections.

You have only raced in a straight line I bet. Around a REAL circuit, no muscle car could keep up with a Japanese or European, smaller engined car. And a "big block" is nothing to shout about. It is an underpowered for its size, old technology, piece of junk. Give me a modern Japanese or European engine anyday. The sweetest engine ever is a Ferrari 3.6 litre 40V V8, revving to around 9 000 rpm!

.Any bone stock ride that is covered in stickers from companies that have nothing to do with that ride is a Ricer.
.Any ride with a paint job that looks like something Walt Disney threw-up is a Ricer.
.Any ride with more bondo than sheet metal is a Ricer.
.Any ride with undercarriage lighting is a Ricer.
.Any ride with neon ANYWHERE is a Ricer (beer trucks omitted).
.Any ride with wheels 3 sizes too small or too large is a Ricer.
.Fartpipe coffee can exhaust? Ricer.
."R" Badges? Ricer.
.Monster tach in a mechanically stock vehicle? Ricer.
.Ground effects bought at Home Depot? Ricer.
.Fake scoops mounted where even real scoops would serve no purpose? Ricer.
.A spoiler that more resembles a picnic basket handle? Ricer.
.Aviation parts mounted "for better traction"? Ricer.
.Defrost ducts painted with latex paint to match the color of the sticker on the brake pads? Ricer.
A Ricer doesn't have to be an Import. There are plenty of Riced-out Domestics on the road.

Bullgatti, that car is queer. Maybe as a matchbox car or something in some fantasy magazine, but to drive it? I'd rather get a moped. Next, I believe it was ohira, 120mph cruising down the thruway? Unless you live in Germany, I'm raising the flag, the BS flag.
Quick edit. Just went to urban dictionary and got the definition of "ricer"
1. ricer
(Ricer: from the latin word Ricarius meaning to suck at everything you attempt)
A person who makes unecessary modifications to their most often import car (hence the term "rice") to make it (mostly make it look) faster. The most common modifications are (but not limited to):
- Huge exhaust that serves no purpose but to make the car louder
- Large spoiler on the back that looks like something Boeing made for the 747
- Lots of after-market company stickers they don't have parts from, but must be cool
- Expensive rims that usually cost more than the car itself
- Bodykit to make the car appear lower, usually accented with chicken wire
- Clear tail lights and corner signals
- A "performace intake"- a tube that feeds cold air to their engine usually located in areas of excessive heat (behind or on top of the engine)
- Most of these riced cars (a.k.a. rice rockets or rice burners) are imports; Honda Civics, Accords, Integras, CRXs, RSXs, Del Sols Mitsubishi Eclipses, Lancers, Subaru Imprezas, however there are some domestics such as Chevrolet Caviliers, Dodge Neons, Ford Focus; small, slow, economy cars designed specifically to go slow. Please note that some Supras, Skylines, WRX's and other higher performance imports are designed to go fast, and are therfore not always considered rice. It really depends on the severity of the case.
The "ricer" attempts to make their car "performance" by adding the modifications listed above. These ricers are not confined to any one ethnic group or color, however different ethnic groups are known for certain styles.
Honda Civics with big spoilers and 4" exhaust tips are considered to be ricers.

LMAO, you really are naive aren't you. Japanese cars are far better than American cars. The only reason American cars are at all fast (and even that is stretching it a bit) is the fact that American companies don't spend time engineering, but just stick in but stupid old tech V8 engines. They then claim it is a "sports car", which is ridiculous. Now if you Americans actually think sense about this and not just talk about the horsepower as the most important figure in a car, you would realise that Japanese cars are much better.
Take handling for instance; The current Mustang has a live rear axle (same goes for the C6 Vette) and I believe it also may have leaf springs on the rear?!?!?!?! WTF, is this the 19th Century?! And for the same money you can get an Mitsubishi Evolution, which may have less power (The UK model isn't down by much, at 330BHP) but it has active 4WD and YAW control....There is just no competition the Japanese car is far superior to the American car in almost everyway.
If you say that there are no fast Japanese cars; take the Mitsubishi Evolution FQ-400 (Built and designed by RalliArt, the company responsible for the WRC cars). It has a 2litre, 4 cylinder turbo-charged engine. It has 400 in the name because it has 400BHP, now if that isn't impressive enough....it will out-drag any American car to 60mph (0-60 in 3.5 seconds). It can corner superbly (Around a track it is no slower than a Lamborghini Murcielago). Now you may say that is made by a tuner company, but it isn't it's a official UK Evo model.
Its simple to see the American ethos when it comes to cars.... "the more power the better" and..."whats a corner?"
Yes maybe the Japanese car companies predominatly make smaller engined city cars. But that is for a reason; most of the populated areas of Japan are highly urbanised so the need for big stupid "gas guzzlers" is non-existant. But just because of that reason, don't claim that don't make good cars. In fact every Honda or Toyota currently on the market is technologically more advanced than any American car.
Also why do you hate the so called "ricers". What you are doing to your cars is customisation, why can't they do it to their cars? So what if the modifications give little in terms of performance enhancements, it is their own personnal preference.

That one in that picture is not an American car. It is a rebadged Holden Monaro. Sorry to kill your patriotism. And yes fuel prices are very expensive in the UK, so it is a factor but also our roads are very twisty, so big rubbish handling V8 cars are useless. The new one, which in the UK is called a Monaro VXR, may have a Vette derived engine. But that is just because of the GM parent company. It is still an Austrailian car.

You may have country roads, but they are still no comparison to the British roads. About 70% of our roads are 1, maybe 2 lane roads. For which a big V8 muscle car would be just a handful. Thats where our light weight Lotus and Caterham and Ariel cars come into their own.

It is simple. The car has to meet certain criteria to be homologated for racing use. Most series now require for a certain body shape of car; ie the BTCC requires a coupe or hatchback model for the race car to be based on. There is a one-make Lotus series and I think there is also a racing version of the Ariel Atom.

Can you wuit triple posting every time scott does one post and GTR is gonna be better than Forza 2 same with Project Gotham. So far I think PGR3 is currently the best racing sim out until GTR comes out and we will have to see about Test Drive Unlimited, it maybe arcady but the series also could have changed and it could be a very very good pretty realistic game but I don't think it will be like Project Gotham Racing 3 or GTR.
Also this is not exactly the gaming section of the site se it is the General chat section so we don't have to talk about gaming here we can talk about cars which is what this thread is about crappy souped up hondas!
Where I live near DC. Kids think they are all cool because they have souped up hondas with spoilers and sweet rims and everything so what do they do? They think there cars are all that and they try to race Porsches and Ferraris and yes there cars are fast and yes they beat them in stoplight drags but when you see them in the turns the just can't compete.
Then there was a kid with a cobalt SS and said he had like 300-350 hp in it, a Cobalt SS!! Then my dad's friend has a 2006 GTI that is illegal completely has nitrous and can't even pass emmisions because of exhaust but guess how much hp?? 800!!! That thing is amazing and can handle well also because I have ridden in it. The thing is insane!
As far as underpowered V8 muscle cars I can't stand them. I would honestly rather have a lightwheight less powerful car but it handle really well and still be fast. I like Porsches currently and think they are great but out of price range that we are talking about.
Scott how much are the old Opel Speedsters? I like lotus elises and the exige alot because they achieve performance through light wheight and handle really well. I refuse to buy a GM right now though because European cars are just so much well better and don't have the cheap feel to them.

(If you say that there are no fast Japanese cars; take the Mitsubishi Evolution FQ-400 (Built and designed by RalliArt, the company responsible for the WRC cars). It has a 2litre, 4 cylinder turbo-charged engine. It has 400 in the name because it has 400BHP, now if that isn't impressive enough....it will out-drag any American car to 60mph (0-60 in 3.5 seconds).
ya it mite be good in 0-60 but it can't handle the 1/4 thats were the american car dominates

I was making a comment about its not all about horsepower and straight line speed. To be honest I could'nt care if my car was faster in a straight line that someone elses. As long as it handled well I would be happy. And you were saying about buying add-ons to make the car better. There is only so much after-market add-ons can do for a car. You can't change the whole suspension system with most kits/components. So why not buy a great handling car in the first place (Evo, Impreza, Skyline and such-like) and then add more power. You cannot say it is hard to get alot of power out of those cars. I have seen loads of Japanese rockets with 500+BHP. If you are building a car for track-days etc, you don't buy a crap handling car (Mustang included) then just stick tons of power in the thing, it just doesn't work.
Anarchy, how much does your Mustang weigh? I bet you didn't even take it into consideration, but it is a fundemental for car acceleration and handling. F=ma, Newtons 2nd law of dynamics. It is the most basic way of calculating a vehichles performance, but its shows that a=F/m. Even if your car has a thousand horsepower, it just can't accelerate that fast if it weighs alot (Acceleration is indirectly proportional to mass). Yes this equation doesn't account for traction, coefficient of friction between tyre/road, rolling resistance or Aerodynamic drag. But this is lost on most people, so I will spare it. You may ask how it effects handling. It is fairly straight-forward; As a car builds speed, it gains inertia...Inertia is a force which wants the object to continue in a straight trajectory. The more mass the vehicle has, the higher the Inertia, and therefore the less it wants to turn in the corners.
Anyway, thats enough ranting....back to the subject at hand. Anarchy, how much have you spent on your car? If it is alot you are fighting a losing battle. You cannot compare a fully modded car to a standard, or lightly modified one. Sebring is not a good place to test the cars as it is a open wide circuit. The best place to test the cars would be across here in the UK, but as that is kinda impossible; Laguna Seca would be a better place, as it is tighter and really shows off a cars handling.
I will finish with this statement: Formula 1 cars at the end of last year had to change engines, from 3 litre V10s to 2.4 V8s. This caused a drop of around 200BHP. Even after this, they managed to be 1.3 seconds faster a lap around the Silverstone racing circuit. Does this not show that horsepower isn't key?

Yes but the same exact principle goes into both. F1 cars lowered there weight and engine size and now they are faster and handle better but with less power. That means that if you want a fast car make it light and make it handle well. It's the ultimate package!!
You are right we didn't say anything about F1 cars but as I said same principle. Lightweight + 250-300 hp + Stiff good suspension = Fast and handles really well and smokes any old V8 muscle car!

oh heres something handling is great but if you can't catch them on the strait you can't win
Not always true. I beleive Top Gear did a test with A Ferrari 360 CS and Porsche 911 GT3 RS and he liked the Ferrari more but on the test lap the Porsche won because of handling. The Ferrari took the lead in the first 2 straights then the porshce came back and won and one more thing the man driving the ferrari was the Ferrari F-1 team test driver and the Porshce won with less power but lightness and great handling!

Heads up - looks like there is some fact- checking underway here:
This is from my buddy Jobe, all below this line is the knowledge he has in regard to what was read about the mustang.
Let me first start off by saying I was pointed to this site from a buddy of mine because I modify, upgrade and repair cars both Domestic and Imported and have been doing it for many years. After reading the comments from “anarchypro” I decided that it would be best I shut him the hell up before he digs himself a deeper hole of lies.
AnarchyPro – “oh and another thing i guarantee no honda civic could ever beat my
mustang”
Really? You guarantee that you could come here to Colorado at High Elevation and beat our 10.4 Second Honda Civic Hatch? If you think Im joking please feel free to go to www.hondaracingcrew.com and look for a person named Servion. Or you can check out http://www.serviontuning.com/ and see exactly what he does here at a HIGHER elevation than you’ll ever run that piece of **** in.
AnarchyPro –
“mod list, .Kenne Bell BLOWZILLA 2200 (2.2L)
.3-1/4 pulley
.9.0 LB's of boost
.757 HP
.709 FT LB's”
Let me see, 9.0lbs of boost….but you made 757hp? Are you serious? A mustang with that much horsepower would be noted somewhere especially at the site of the track you ran at. A normal person using any resources of internet can give you a bull**** flag in a heartbeat….lookie here there is a website for kenne bell superchargers…and oh my god there is a paragraph that talks about how Kenne Bell (that would be the manufacturer of your charger and they stated THEY only made 682hp at the highest psi possible on their charger? Now they did test this on a 4.6l from a Mustang GT but even so there is a HUGE difference between 9psi and 20psi. I would have been more of a believer if you would of said 20psi but you don’t know what your talking about. But yet you claim you took their charger and made 757hp?? Wanna call the manufacturer a liar? How about the fact that a Type-R Cobra only produced 384bhp Stock?.
Source for Cobra Type R - http://www.conceptcarz.com/vehicle/z438/default.aspx
Anarchpro – “more mods”
more mods.....
Kenne Bell polished intake manifold
36lb injectors
03/04 Cobra gas tank with dual highflow SVT pumps
Gloss black gas tank cover with chrome straps.
Team Breed fully polished cam covers
Canton polished aluminum coolant tank
Canton polished aluminum power-steering fluid reservoir
PowerMaster 200 amp chrome alternator
Custom polished billet alternator bracket
CoolFlex upper rad hose
Assorted billet caps/covers from Steeda/UPR/MGW/SnkyPete
Odyssey Billet Battery hold-down
Optima Blue Top Battery
So let me get this straight, the only “motor” mods you have on your car is the supercharger the 9lb pulley and some fuel injectors and a pump? I’m amazed you even put the chrome **** as mods seeing as how that is something a RICER would do. You don’t have **** for mods.
Anarchypro – “my last 1/4 time was 10:7 but that was before we rebuilt the engine”
You ran a 10.7? Where’s your slip? Show me a dyno. Have some backup, cause I call bull**** all day.
Anarchypro – “oh come on guys can't say anything else exactly because you no that no Japanese car can ever touch an AMERICAN car. because we can do one thing to our engines and produce twice as much HP as any Japanese car.
but with a Japanese car you have to spend like 10,000 dollars and maybe get 400 HP”
Are you kidding me? This has got to be the most asinine comment I’ve seen come out of your mouth. The same Honda Civic that I spoke of early made almost 700HP in the same 4Cyl motor that is available for any Honda. You know nothing, you should only speak of your own car, cause you obviously don’t get around much. I guarantee there is at least 30 different cars here that would stomp on you continuously. The sad part is, here in Colorado the elevation is higher than sea level MUCH higher, if you even RAN a 10.7 you wouldn’t run anything CLOSE to that up here and there are many people that run 10’s or faster in Imports. What about skylines? Can you beat all of those? We happen to have 4 of them here, and more than likely even if you ran a 10.7 3 of them could beat you easily.
Anarchypro – “oh and gamerkid mabe you should go to another thread because you obviously don't no anything about cars”
And you do?
Anarchypro – “ya it mite be good in 0-60 but it can't handle the 1/4 thats were the american car dominates”
Your really ****ing stupid.
Anarchypro – “yes i know alot about cars because i work on them for a living i own a performance shop in florida (anarchy performance)”
Oh boy…from www.dexonline.com we find that…
No listings found matching "anarchy performance" in City Of Pensacola, FL.

So I just went through every major city through the Qwest online directory and couldn’t find anything nearby or close to any of those cities? But you say it does exist? What’s the number to your shop? Website? Where can we verify some of your work? I happen to know a bunch of shops here in the springs, but when you search for them guess what, they actually have results to display!
Anarchypro – “oh heres something handling is great but if you can't catch them on the strait you can't win”
There is another laugh, I happen to know for a fact that a 2006 STI will have a faster lap time than a 03 Cobra producing close to 600WHP. Unlike you however our buddies Cobra actually have PROVEN 600WHP and he has more mods than you. Its amazing you can create such a powerhouse of machine with so little mods. Please tell me, how DO you do it? If you actually knew what you were doing you wouldn’t make your car look so silly. And you definitely wouldn’t come up with numbers like that. If you think your car is fast enough than by all means back up all your claims. And if you think I’m bull****ting by all means come to www.coracing.com find my name “Jobe3KVR4” and come say something, if you posted half the **** you did here on our board you wouldn’t last a minute, these gamers don’t know any better so they just nod their head and say uh huh. If you want to run real cars, then high altitude racing is the only test. End of story.

Thanks for that addition Redshirt, maybe with actual figures to referance, those 2 will actually talk sense. I am an Automotive engineering student, so don't have much practical experience. Your addition has helped alot!
And on the topic of quarter mile times. I know of a tuning company that has a car, a supra, that can run a 9.4 1/4. it is 1200BHP. What do you think the purpose of 4WD is? Of course it is for traction, which is VERY useful off the line. So don't expect to see your Mustang destroying many Evos or Skylines off the line.
Anarchy, Redshirt has pointed it out, that you have blatantly come on this site expecting the members to be naive towards cars. It has been shown that, that is not the case. So if you are going to BS, don't take it as fact or just shut up.
Redshirt, what altitude are you at? 3 thousand feet? If so that has a massive impact on the performance of the car. Basically becuase the air density is lower, but since the same volume is drawn into the engine- lower power outputs are produced. It basically can take 20-30% of the peak power output away from the engine. And running a 10.7 at that elavation is some achievement!

Also regarding the term "ricer" - it is a saying the specifically identifies ANY individual that mods their car in any way that does not increase its performance.
It looks fast, looks furious, but it taint. Thats a ricer.
So...
J o b e sez:
First, the link you sent me shows lots of info for the Kenne Bell you say you have, but nowhere does it mention a potential anywhere near your claimed HP. The max HP you'd get, tuned, with all supporting mods on that SC is 617, and that is according to Kenne Bell.

anarchypro, scottracer:
Understand kind Sirs that I am forwarding information. I challenge you to read the post in its entirety.
Again - Jobe is the individual that is initiating the chat, not myself.
Also regarding the term "ricer" - it is a saying the specifically identifies ANY individual that mods their car in any way that does not increase its performance.
It looks fast, looks furious, but it taint. Thats a ricer.
So...
J o b e sez:
First, the link you sent me shows lots of info for the Kenne Bell you say you have, but nowhere does it mention a potential anywhere near your claimed HP. The max HP you'd get, tuned, with all supporting mods on that SC is 617, and that is according to Kenne Bell. If you're trying to tell me that you DO have all the supporting mods, you're just not listing them, and that the estimates for Kenne Bell are off by THAT huge of a margin, trust me when I say, I know better. Sorry, but the B.S. flag is still raised, and the only way you're going to get it down is to post your dyno sheet.
I am not challenging what you are saying. And my bad for getting the definition of ricer wrong. It is not a term used over here in the UK, so please excuse me.
And yes I would like to see a dyno sheet for that Mustang aswell. There has been a few claims of power figures on this site, but they have been backed up by some sort of evidence.

I do have to admit, front-wheel drive in most cases is a bad decision. But it can work, very well. For instance the Peugeot 106 GTI was acclaimed as the best handling car of the 1990's, beating the likes of Ferrari 355 and Skylines. And remember this is a very small hatchback, with a 1.6 litre engine.
I could go on for days about how you just can't put that much horsepower into a front-whell drive car. So my solution is always go 4WD for traction, and RWD for handling ;)

You just shot yourself in the foot again there buddy. I've installed one of these in a Cobra, and I know exactly what it's capable of. I've helped build a faster model of the vehicle in that video. On a cobra engine it is capable of just what the comments of that video say it's capable of... 575-650HP. The 2.2 blowzilla on a Cobra will NOT put out the HP you are claiming. That, and you don't even have a Cobra. You claim that you've never gone to the track, but you've dyno'd at 750hp and have run a "10:7 but that was before we rebuilt the engine" ...but you "have not ran it at a track yet" ??? It seems your story has a few holes. Face it, you got pwned. You can't provide a dyno sheet, and it's quite obvious your just putting up a front. If that's your car, I'll give you props for having a "nice looking" car, but you had to know going around spouting 750-800hp out the mouth wasn't going to get you very far. I think Jobe and I are finally finished with you now. I co-own CoRacing.com with Bottoz (the Kenne Bell Cobra I helped build) and because we own a board we won't continue trolling yours, it's just not polite.

True, that 4WD provides more assurance for traction, but it has been proved that it is indeed a hell of alot faster, under heavy-load than RWD. 4WD, in the dry is slower than RWD, but there is a limit to this statement, a point at which a RWD car just can't use the power well to achieve decent lap times. Sorry if you lot are talking about 1/4 mile drag racing, but that is non-existant in the UK so I will be talking about track racing.

The reason cars in Japan aren't that powerful was, the fact that there was the "gentlemans agreement" that stated BHP couldn't exceed 276. That has subsequently been lifted, and power levels are beginning to rise. Just give it a couple of years and we will see what our Asian friends can do ;)

I don't know why Mazda insist on using the Wankel Rotary engine, its just not logical. Yes, for its size, it produces alot of power, but has to rev high and it uses alot of oil during operation. They are also prone to overheating. What is wrong with an inline 6 cylinder *drools a bit*, now thats an engine ( thinking of M3 CSL).

Well for a start it is not an American derived race car, its an Aussie. They are race cars, not road cars, and share very few similarities to the road counterparts. I am not saying a V8 can't handle, for some reason they choose not do develop suspension systems. Now for racing handling is key, that is where most of the development lies. The Holden Monaro is a great race car, it has been in development for a while now. The circuits that you are talking about will no doubt be street circuits, or oval derived ones. For these, handling isn't the key, as most corners are 90 degrees or fast, banked ones. If the Monaro/GTO was brought across to Europe, to a REAL racing circuit, the outcome would be reversed. Oh and one more thing, the Monaro conforms to different regs for racing, the power is signifcantly higher than that of the GT3-R, whilst the Porsche is lighter. This is invaluable on open circuits, which are predominately straight lines, with 90 degree turns.

I am sure it will be the same race car, rebadged. Maybe the road car suspension and drivetrain are different, but I would doubt GM would develop two seperate race cars.
No we do not get The Rolex cup in the UK, but I am guessing it is similar to the British GT championship. There is a Monaro in it, but is getting crushed by the Ferrari 360 GTC's and the Porsche GT3-Rs, just because they are tighter courses, requiring less horsepower.

Yes the new road car is a 6 litre, but what you do not understand that there are certain rules before a car can be homologated for race use. I am unsure of these but the race car may have to remain a 5.7 litre. This is definetaly the case with the F430 GT, the road car has a 4.3 litre V8, whereas the race car has a 4.0 litre V8.

WTF! That is erm...some race car, a 6 litre V8 with 450BHP. LMAO. Anyway, that car conforms to different regulations from the Monaro, which races down under. The Monaro has 530+ BHP from the 5.7 litre. Oh well.

I don't care if you don't care what my government thinks, because you are just a voice, and meerly a number to your government. News flash they don't care what you think.
Why you cats over there in England don't make your cars faster is beyond me. Maybe it's becasue your country is [deleted arrogance]. Oh no I might get hurt if I try to go fast. I want to look good in my car, how ***.
I don't have a sound system because I rather here my V8, and I put all my money into speed and handeling.
... a lesson in civility may be required.

If you look at my flag, you will see I from Scotland. And as for British cars being slow.....a TVR would rip a Corvette to pieces. Simple. We know how to make superb cars; does Mclaren F1, TVR Cerbera Speed 12 or Aston Martin DB9 ring a bell? Your last line proves to me that you are an idiot and I am wasting my time replying to your moronic comments......"Put all our money into handling"?!?!?! You basically said in your last post that American cars don't handle, you fool. As for your statement about us being pussies, your national speed limit is 55 MPH, pathetic. I think it is becuase your cars can't handle speeds greater than that, aswell as the drivers.
I know more on the subject than you, so just be quiet little boy.

Yeah, and how can you make gerneralized statements about MUSCLE car performance if you don't have one, or probably even drove one. Where I live in UNITED STATES (ARIZONA) there is in fact a lot of twisty roads, and my car is built for road racing. You have the internet in front of you look up AZ we're surrounded by mountains, and mountains means badass roads. Yeah the Japs and the Euros may hang with me in the turns, but I've got a whole hell of a lot more in the straights then they do. Oh and it's not allways about hps what about torque??? The old big blocks usually have more torque than horsepower, and if you ever like to put the pedal to the floor torque is what makes it fun.
