the SIZE of the tire has no where near the effect of the tread pattern.....
i run 215/35/18 Yokohamas but i noticed no difference between the sizes...its the tread that makes u handle goood.... |

Alot of bullting going on in this thread. Listen to Tiesto143, he knows alot about rice rockets and beefed up American cars.
Streetracing is for losers,you wanna prove yourself? Take your car to the track.

agree that us cars are POS and only good for straight lines..
M3 will kill anything out there on turns and handling..
Cobra will beat to 0-100 and will fall apart..
M30 I will have 4 year unlimited warranty also... |

yes, be very careful with street racing!!
in little small town baldwinsville, in my development called radisson, two people died yesterday, 21 and 18...
street racing down willet parkway, pretty much straight except for one curve, hit that curve going over 100 and flew off the road. that's it!!
sorry to be a nag, but it happened 3 minutes from my house, really hits home!!:eek: |

LOL....u dont know much about cars do you?
by the time the Cobra hits 3rd u will still be redlining in first...lol
u wanna take it the highway...lol...ok it tops out at 180...
u say BMW is faster...well even if that is true (which it is NOT) u could buy a Cobra and still have $20,000 left over to add 1500 horsepower then u couldnt even line up with the Cobra...
and hey like i said u think ur car is fast then put ya money up...3 cars and the break....lol we will GIVE YOU a 3 CAR HEAD START and you can hit the gas first....LOL....and if u wanna top end it i can get a turboed Acura Integra with H22 Jap spec top end and a CRV bottom end that will surely be glad to race any beemer on the road....
its jus makes me mad how kids with beemers THINK they have fast cars...i mean YES they do look good..but when your talking about SPEED you should not brag about a M3...its not that fast... |

And just the other day you were telling me about how you wanted an M3.
Comparing an M3 to a 68 Camaro is like apples with oranges, they dont go. Who in their right mind would even pull upto a muscle car with a Porsche or Bmw? Some cars were built just for road and others were built for the track. |

LOL ya Dennis...of course i would want a Beemer...but not for the speed but for the girls and the comfort....:D
ur right about the Camaros...but Porsche is another story...depending on the Porsche...cus Porsche is a nice car..996 and 911TT...but even the 996 is kinda blah blah stock....911TT is all around perfect car for speed and comfort and handling......
M3 is not even in the same class as a Porsche nor will it EVER be...but even a Porsche in all actuality now that i think about it is kinda slow in the quarter...except for the 1997 911TTS..which is one of the best Porsches ever made...
and before anyone says Ferrari will beat a Muscle car in the quarter go do some reading...they are slow as in the quarter...i THINK..but am not positive that the 99 Ferrari 355 ran low 14s in the quarter..thats almost the same as a lexus GS400...
Those cars are all top end...Ferrari by the way is my favorite by far
Lamborghini Diablos NOONE better mention..they are ....yes they may top out at the 200 mark...but for the price you get a car that u may one day bury to 200/210 but the handling is absolute shi , one of the worst handling sports cars ever made....that car is purely for people who want to buy the name Lamborghini and look cool cus they have the cash to spare....1 good thing about Lambo is the fact that they are making the bodies 90% carbon fiber..which is real good cus of all the weight u will save as oppose to using metal or plastic..but at 200 miles per hour if u crash a car made of carbon fiber and your not wearing a full race suit with fire retardent and a 18 point roll cage in that Lambo with the strongest helmet in the world...well your basically going to die...badley... |

A decent car thread... time to get my two cents in...
Alright, tiesto14 definately knows his . American muscle cars are exactly that.. muscle cars.. tune 'em and you've got yourself a drag machine that doesn't compare to anything European. A friend of mine put slicks on his fully engine modded camaro ss (n/a, bored out, polished, intake, cams, straight pipe (sssshhh.. don't tell the cops);) ). This fire breathing bad ass completely destroyed some cocky bastard's yellow s4... haha.. don't even know why he tried...
I mean power (massive horsepower and torque) has always been huge in Americas automotive history and racing. Look at the types of professional races that are big in this country... drag racing, oval racing, truck pulls, and what not... all balls, no handling...
In Europe, you've got your formula 1 (it's all street style cuircuit races), world rally, and whatever else there is... World rally is in my opinion the ultimate test of a car. I'd take one of those cars with it's apparently measely 300 horsepower over anything else mentioned here any day. I mean, who the hell wouldn't wanna lock the back wheels and swing around a sharp corner on the cliffs of corsica while narrowly avoiding a crowd of screaming onlookers. Alright now I'm babbling...
And about ferrari's, lamborghini's, and porsches. They only sell cars to fund there racing programs (or they used to at least). These cars demand top dollar for their excessive amount of race track proven engineering (especially the porsches... they raped everyone back in the 70s.. so well engineered). I mean, you're not gonna find ceramic brakes on any cobra anytime soon sorry to say..
Anyway, I guess my point is different cars serve different purposes. If you want cheap speed get a muscle car. If you want expensive, race proven engineering get a porsche or ferrari (skip the lambo... only tools buy those). If you want a kickass car, get a peugeot 206 or ford focus and tune it into a rally monster, or buy a wrx sti or an evo VII... |

LoL...and M3s where built for spoiled rich kids who cant power shift and to give them the insane thought that their cars are actually "the ultimate driving machine"...LOL...the ONLY car on this planet EVER made that can actually use that phrase is Porsche because it has the HP, the TQ, the handling, the comfort, the looks and the engineering...no other car should use that phrase...
and why should i learn how to read?... |
