I find these car vids that you post quite amusing.
You see, any car, whether it be a Porsche, Mitsubshi, Viper, Audi, Subaru, Mazda etc has an equal chance of beating any other car.
For instance, the Neon vs Viper one is kinda funny cause the Viper is probably stock, and the Neon is fully kitted, so, theres no surprises there.
I have seen a Mini Cooper out drag a semi-stock R34 Skylin before and it was hell funny.

whats to find amusing? They are just some kewl vids..and yea..any car has a chance. Ive seen a yugo runs 8\'s int he 1/4...
Also..more backround for ya..the viper is not stock..it has a few mods...the neon as of then wasnt all out drag.. It was a street high 10sec car.
Whole point is..its kewl to see the vids..IMO anyway and Im sure in others eyes. Its just amazing to see.

Yes, I know its amazing to see, specially for a car as crap (IMO) as a Neon...
This is my car.
Mitsubishi VRX 2001 LM
183 KW/246 HP

The only mods I have are dark tint windows and a Unichip Engine Managment System.
I want to mod it (when I have the money to 300+ KW) with a turbochager and cool air induction.
I also want to change the body kit and put an Evo 6 wing on the back.
This is a better pic of the car, but this one is not mine.

how does that look..thats what Id liek to do one day. when money isnt a prob.
-
Very nice, but if I had that kidna money, I wouldnt have done that sorta mod in a Neon in the first place.
My dram machine is an Evo 6 fully modded (I want a 4WD)
-
I find it very hard that a 16 year old would have 246hp that sounds kind of phishy to me.........................
-
Well, I\'m 17...
And I have a 188 HP 96 Lexus ES300. :)
My parents should have waited a year.. So I could have had a 200 HP. :(

I do it b/c its fun embaressing V6\'s and V8\'s... You should see the look on a mustang or camaro owners face when they lose to a neon :D
Besides no EVO\'s stateside for at least another yr :(..I so love that car too. PLus it can be done pretty cheap. For about 15 grand, including the price of the car..you can have a neon that runs 11\'s street legal. PLus the car is fun on the autox and roadrace course\'s too.
I will have my EVO7 one day tho!!

yea..why is that fishy? I had around about 320-340RWHP when I was 16.

YOU KIDS ARE THE REASON WHY I AM ALL FOR LAWS THAT PROHIBIT YOU FROM DRIVING UNLESS YOUR 18. At 16 that is too much torque for kids to handle. Just too much power.

for one..im not a young kid..2..age has nothing to do with ability to handle a vehicle.
You are partially correct though..but hell..some adult dont need all of the torque/HP.

For your information, I am 18 (I have no idea what the profile says...) and my parents bought it for me for my 17th birthday.
My dad does special effects in movies so we are rich :D
(Pitch Black, Street Fighter, Flipper to name a few)
-
I kind of figured that you were rich. Any movies that I know that your dad worked for or is it strictly for Australia. And to pick a fight with QuDDus, again, just because a teenager likes fast cars (and I do ;)) doesn\'t mean that teens should only drive at 18. It\'s called growing up. Teens want fast and tricked out cars to show off to their friends. Also, most teenagers nowadays are complete car nuts. They want thier cars fast and hot looking. Me and my friend talk about cars all the time. I tell him about cars that I read about in Car and Driver and he tells me about other cars he read about.
I\'m just curious, QuDDus, what was your first car?

##RaCeR##,
How much money does your family have?

Lol, what kinda question is that.
But my family has 10000000000000000000000000000000000 dollars.
-
Just trying to prove a point. If he is willing to share that his family is rich then why not tell us how much?

My friend has a Z28 with a Corvette 350 in it;), hes only 16, and I think your an idiot for thinking it should be moved to 18, I bet I\'m a better driver than you are, I think age doesn\'t have that much to do with it
-
Exactly Bozco. Age doesn\'t matter if you know how to drive a car. Just because someone\'s a teenager, doesn\'t mean they will wreck their car their first year.
-
Teens will drive reckless whether they have a Porsche or an Altima. So limiting horspower won\'t do a darn thing. You can hit a telephone pole going 50 miles an hour in any car.
When I think of some of the stupid stuff I did when I was a kid I cringe every time. I could very easily not be here typing this right now (No comments)...

Hehehe, what kinda question is that? We are comfortable...
My dad has done many movies, he did Pitch Black with Vin Desil in it and Street Fighter with Van Dam.
He has done lotsa others too.
-
I kinda agree with 18 age limit for driving. It\'s not that teenagers are any less able to handle a car, it\'s that teenagers are far more prone to doing stupid shit to show off to their friends. I know it\'s true because I was like that, and I had friends that did much worse.

Just having a little fun with ya ##RaCeR##. ;)

Most states will move the minimum age to 18 coz there are too many teens getting killed or causing accidents due to their lack of maturity(ie racing in public roads) and experience. So...the chances are higher for a 16-17 year old getting into an accident than an 18 year old.
Now....the above paragraph is not my opinion. It\'s the reason behind the laws that pushed the legal age to drive to 18 years of age. Really, it\'s hard to blame the law makers. There are just enough dummies out there(you know plenty that shouldn\'t be driving, I\'m sure) that will ruin the chance for competent drivers below the age of 18 to drive sooner.
The thing is - there are just as many adults that are incompetent.
-
I still don\'t see what you guys are saying, why should I be punished because some of you guys are dumbasses. I\'m a good driver and I think thats all there is to it
-
I think there should be much stricter criteria for getting a driver\'s license. And I think anyone who drives drunk needs to lose their license for a year MINIMUM on the first offense.
For the most part I don\'t think teenagers are any more dangerous ALONE than anyone else behind the wheel. It\'s when you get in groups that the driver acts like a moron. But a lot of teenagers are responsible enough for the priveledge.
I think teenagers are more silly than dangerous, by the way they make their cars up and outfit them with El Destructo 40,000 watt ConcussionBass systems.
But everyone knows old people are by far the most dangerous drivers:D
I also cringe when I see teenagers spend thousands of dollars on souping up cars with intakes and nitro and shit, and never race em. I know you guys like to race, doesn\'t that irritate the crap out of you?

You get a hell yes!!! Just like one needs a CDL to drive trucks..Just like one needs a particular liscense to ride bikes.. I think people over 60 need to take a different test. I also believe they need to be tested for renewal more often than it is currently. I believe people under the age of 18-21(some age between there) should have to take a more difficult or more comprehensive test.

Yes, that does kinda iritate me..but hey..its their money and if they think it makes em kewl..so be it. I do understand some of it though. Some days/ nights I am more than content with not racing by just hanging out shooting the **** or helping crew for a friend.

you too can get your very own sequential gearbox for only 15-20k :D The tiptronic trannies really arent that great unless its a porsche or ferrari. I "heard" that even porsches is kinda sucky too.
