What car should I get?
« Reply #30 on: December 22, 2002, 11:49:16 PM »
I like the Audi A6.  It just looks nice, and I *think* it was in the movie Ronin.  ;)  I like that Audi convertible though.  I don\'t know anything about cars though so my opinion is based on what looks to suit my needs the most: 4 doors, classy look, just plain nice all around.

Sorry Ryu, the Audi in Ronin was a S8. ;) The A4/A6 look real nice too though.

My friend all of those cars suck...well they don\'t suck but I don\'t like any of them EXCEPT the Porsche Boxter.
[/b]They suck? WTF are you on? All of those cars are cool in one way or they other. Otherwise I wouldn\'t be considering them...

Quote
I will suggest a BMX Z4
[/b]No thanks. It might have been designed by a fellow Dane, but the look isn\'t exactly to my taste (it\'s butt-ugly IMHO).

Quote
A Porsche 911 or Boxter type S
[/b]I\'m not a millionaire either. The Boxster S might be within reach, but the differences between the \'regular\' Boxster and the S version are marginal.

Honda S2000 sucks a big one.
[/b]LOL, yeah right. That\'s why every reviewer and owner loves it so much. :rolleyes:

Don\'t bother posting in this thread unknown, if you haven\'t got anything remotely intelligent to say.

S8, A6, A4... they all look pretty nice.  I just don\'t like cars that are two seaters.  They just scream out mid life crisis more than anything else.. well, at least to me they do.

I just fail to see the point in buying a car that has such and such horsepower or a sports car design on the fact that it can go from 0-100MPH in so many seconds.  Speed limits around here peek at 70 tops and there are cars that go up to 180 on the speedometer, why?  It doesn\'t make any sense.  At least it\'s good for high speed chases in Hollywood action films, or the occasional time when someone needs to go 88MPH in order to go back to the future and save ones parents. ;)

Oh and btw, Unknown, the dude who said they all suck owns a camaro from what I remember.  A POS white one.


And I somewhat agree about the two seater, but I have to say if you are ever going to own a 2 seater, get one now.  Cause you won\'t get another till your kids are out of the house an dthen everyone will rag you for it being your mid-life crisis car.  When really it\'s just the first opportunity you\'ve had to get what you want.

I personally don\'t like the boxter.  The single exhaust out the center is just a turn off to me.  I think that may be the same reason why Racer likes it.

What do I drive, I drive a 1987 305 TPI 5 speed IROC-Z Camaro, would you like to see a picture of me in action??? Here ya go.



The engine has had a lot of work since this pic, looks the same, but a bunch of uless hoses etc. have been removed.

Bets time at the track is a 14.3 @ 97 MPH.


I didn\'t expect to get flamed for posting such a simple comment, I guess I will have to justify.

1. I am a domestics man, I do not like imports unless it\'s a beater to save gas.

2. The reason why I said the Honda S2000 blows is because it does... I can easily hand thier asses to them with my car in a race, they are extremly cramped up for a 2 seater, and they have NO HP on the lower rpm\'s if you like handling, then the Honda S2000 is not a bad choice, but if you want speed like I do, please look elswhere.

All of the other cars are way out of my price rance so I don\'t care abotu them, All I know is  I paid $3,600 for my car and people pay over $20k for the ones listed and my car is faster than all of them except the Boxter s & the 911, I can beat a boxter on a good day.

To put it another way, I love domestics and I don\'t like Imports.

So by your standards, anything faster makes the previous a POS huh?

I guess my neon AND eclipse MUST be better than your POS since they are faster.

You do know why honda\'s dont dont have much torque or hp low right? B/C they rev to the sky d00d. Makes up for low RPM power.

F\'ing Ricer...

Your neon faster than my car ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You need to shut your mouth and know that your aren\'t talkin to an inexperience car guy. Yea, imports have 4 bangers that are all revving and NO tork, every import guy says "oh I have 200-240 hp!" that won\'t get ya far when you have 120-150 ft. lbs. of tork like a Honda S2000 does.

When would you beat me, when were going 110 mph and my gears finally slow me down? or when I\'m 3 cars ahead of you off the line because your car is torkless?

I hate peopel that judge people without knowing them, did I say if you have a slower car than mine it must suck, no, but I\'m saying it now about your cars.

And who cares about a car that revvs up to 8 grand when the power band is in the 6-8k rpm range, and is a TOTAL slug the rest of the time. I have tork throughout all of my rpm range.

You seemed to have stated a blanket statement instead of a personal opinion.

Its like me running around saying psx2central sucks but not having a real reason why.

Apparently I am talkin to an inexperianced car guy since you of all should know not to knock a car b4 you have seen it run. That is if you are experianced and all.

Yes, before I spun a bearing and toasted my motor I was running low 14\'s all day at 96 degree\'s 98% humidity.

Eclipse is faster hittin low 13\'s...mid consistently.

Plus I do have the weight factor in my favor as well. How much do yo weigh? 3500lbs? Im more around 2200.

I\'ll ADD 200 lbs and still clean up with you.

Ok then, what elevation do you live in? probably sea level. I live in a 3,800ft. elevation, if I was to run at sea lvl. I would easily run mid 13\'s. The weight difference also helps you immensly. My car weights roughly 3,400 pounds.

I\'m wondering what mods you have done toy our cars? You must have put a bunch into them to get them to run that fast. My engine is BUTT STOCK, the internals have yet to be touched. Only mods are an under drive pulley & SLP Siamesed runners, & an after market exaust.

p.s. Do you have any time slips to confirm your times????

& my 14.3 was on a 102 degree day, Can\'t wait to go to the track on the 28th in 40 degree weather.
