Ok, somebody please explain it to me because I still don\'t understand. This is mainly directed towards imports, mini trucks not so much. How have we.. as Americans, gone from vintage horsepower and cubic inches. To 5\" fart pipes, uniwipers, 5000watt stereos and f%*$ing 20\" wheels and MONSTER ground effects!!! What is WRONG with kids today? Granted, I am only 22 but come on people.. YOUR CARS NOT ONLY LOOK STUPID, BUT THEY SOUND STUPID TOO!! How can ANYBODY ON THIS EARTH think that the sounds that come out of those chainsaw mufflers sound GOOD!? They literally make me sick, I want to throw up when i hear them!
I\'m not quite sure what boggles me more, the fact that they REALLY REALLY DO think their cars are FAST... or the fact that when CERTAIN other people see these... cars? they say \"yo that $hit is hot\", or something along the lines of that... praising the car. Dude that $hit is busted!! Not only is it putrid, but its SLOW. Maybe its only like that up here in CT, the only fast imports here are ONLY found at the race track because their turbos are putting out so much boost or their running so much spray that they need at least 110octane. But the other morons who\'s asses i kick in my trailblazer(15.9 in the 1/4mi.)!!?!? COME ON my truck weights 3 TIMES what your car weights!!!!! That is PATHETIC, my truck is not fast!! For an SUV, ok.. but overall .... so somebody out there please respond.. because I\'m starting to think that maybe IM missing something????? Why do all these kids drive them? Is it because insurance is cheaper and mommy and daddy dont want you behind the wheel of anything that has REAL power??? Thanks for listening to me vent..

i agree myself! totally hate fart pipes and any car affiliated with http://www.s10v8.com/images/smilies/smileJap.gif! my very best friend who is the same age as me (27) loves his eclipes. i think its a piece of sh$t!!! racing seat covers, fake pedal covers, k/n air filter and all the other uncle ben shit he\'s got. he raced my other buddies mustang (400hp,302) and got smoked! i\'ve got cousins with hondas and nissans that think they are the shit too. i guess it\'s just a thing right now. just hang in there i\'m sure it will pass just like bad gas! u have got to remember though the wannabe muscle cars back in the day where these guys would take regals,cutlasses and other 2 doors and jack the rear end up to the sky with glass packs on a 6 cly. that was pretty stupid too! i feel what your saying though. ALL RICERS SUCK!!!!!! http://www.s10v8.com/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif

Finally people who feel the way i do!
I cant stand all this import shit.
I am only 20 and i can reate to this shit.
when i got intrested in cars when i was about 12 i wanted a 5.0l mustang, by no means the most powerful car in the world but i good base.
I have a 1987 s10 4x4 with a 355, 700r4 3.73 and 6\"inches of lift on 31\" tires and i can still embarass most guys around here.
I know this one guy i used to work with he just bought a late model neon. he put a front and rear body kit and hes storing it for the winter, he doesnt have rims exhaust K&N nothing just a skirt and he storing it like it an al powerful mustang or camaro, like what the hell is that all about?
Have you guys seen some of the shit they do to these imports on TV shows. where talk civic with over $100,000 in them, that is crazy.
When im driving around in my truck and come up beside an import i just llok at the car and shake my head saying why why why

Hey, im glad all you feel the same way, its all COMMON SENSE!!! Ricers suck, just simple that. I mean, lets take an ECONOMY CAR, put some fiberglass body kit, some 8 inch tip on 1 inch exhast from a 4 banger. Also, lets put a spoiler on the BACK of a FRONT WHEEL CAR, i mean, come on guys, how stupid can you be, it probably hurst you more than it helps. Then, last but not least, lets put neon in EVERY SPOT POSSIBLE, wheels, exhaust, and windshield washer squirters, please..., and think that all adds up and makes it faster than the original sports cars, with V8, the real mans engine. Or in many of our cases, V8\'s in our little trucks. I hate http://www.s10v8.com/images/smilies/smileJap.gif, and i hope all you do too. Thanks, for letting me vent, thats just a little, so you can all let go too...

This is great!!!! I too hate the http://www.s10v8.com/images/smilies/smileJap.gif-burnners running around the sreets thinking that they are the fastest damn thing since the combustable engine was made. The whole fact that they think a 4cyl can really beat a good old american v-8 is so damn funny!
Now don\'t get me wrong on what I\'m about to say...but here goes.
It\'s a shame that the american car makers have taken so long to get it is just a shame.
GM,FORD, and CHRYSLER are finally starting to take notice that the imports have stolen alot of money from us the american public with what they make. Have you seen what the big 3 are doing with their cars lately? 700 horse out of a quad-4? the same out of a neon 2.0L? Hey they are trying to get the young kids back to buying their cars and not the flippin imports.
I am 46 and have been into cars for 30 plus years so I have seen it all. I\'m not trying to enforce what the kids now a days are doing,especially street racing cuz I have and still do, (don\'t tell anybody)my share of it. I just take it out in the country away from crowded streets.
Lets give the kids credit for hot rodding what they are offered and hope they will come around to our side soon!
Lets kick some import ass!

hey guys i am in total agreement. i am only 20 and i laugh at the 30 year olds that squeeze into their little http://www.s10v8.com/images/smilies/smileJap.gif rockets. quick story i had a 94 explorer (got my 84 blazer back now) an eclipse pulled up next to me at the light. i just laughed cause i knew i had a liter for every cylinder he had. to make a long story short i bitched him. i dont understand why people put 20,000 plus into a 4 banger when a mildly preped v8 will smoke it in 3rd gear. Back to Fast and the Furious, remember in the final race scene the http://www.s10v8.com/images/smilies/smileJap.gif was already on the bottle when the charger hit 4th gear and still smoked him. just do the math v8 or Inline 4. as for the fart pipes... well im not even gonna get started.

11-18-2002, 06:34 PM
everyone visit www.beaterz.com if you want to see some good import bashing, and be sure to check out the camaro with curb feelers while your at it...
another horrible thing about fast and the furious that really bugged me is whern the charger lifted the front wheels off the ground and smoked the tires at the same time... i\'m sorry but the laws of physics do not allow for that to happen... and did anyone else notice that when they marked off the 1/4 mile that it seemed like it took those imports like 2 minuits to finish the race? and i\'m prety sure i counted 11 gears that he shifted through... like comon get realistic... its no better than the god old dukes of hazzard when jessy is driving his truck in park....
oh man, i know you\'re not bashing the Dukes?

I personally like the movie. I think a lot of people get too worked up over it. Its just a movie. Its there for your enjoyment. I know nearly half of the movie was fake, but how many movies aren\'t? It wasnt\' a documentary, they were just trying to make money.
Second, I do hate http://www.s10v8.com/images/smilies/smileJap.gifrs. I know there are guys out there that actually ahve put in the wrench time, and ahve the knowledge to get their cars going fast. But, around there, theres not. Just a bunch of punks that threw on a bunch of stickers, put a cold air intake on their car, and added and exahust. And they expect their cars to be the fastest thing on the road. I really hate all those neons, especially those LED washer ones. Granted, some might say that I am a hipocrite, since I have big rims and euros on my blazer. Truthfully, my biggest problem, well 2, is the attitude they have, and the huge wing on a FWD car.
Few months ago, buddy and I were walking out of a club. Some punk in a newer Prelude was blowing up and down the road. Was doing it all night. Kept driving through the parking lot too,trying to show off his ride. All http://www.s10v8.com/images/smilies/smileJap.gifd out, even had numbers on the side. I think they were autocross numbers. I was talking to some women, and my buddy Ty went and started talking to him. More of yelling at him. Asked him what he\'d done, he said\" Oh, little of this, lot of that.\" My buddy told him that I had a decently quick truck, and If he wanted to line up. He said he\'d blow the doors off any truck. I blew it off, and dismissed it, since I didnt wanna race with the full carload, my buddy and 3 women. We leave, and he pulls up to me driving, and revs it. I rev back, and he takes off threw traffic. I caught him at the stoplight, and nobody was around. I reved it, and said at green we go. Light turned green. He jumped , and I put it down. Took him out of the hole with my 3.42 one legger, and had a car lenth on him by the time I was shifting into 3rd. Gave up and slowed down to let him catch up at the next red light. That little *beep* didn\'t even stop, turned right, gave me the finger and got on the eway. Little *beep*, take off your skirt next time.

Alright first of all I have to defend some of my friends and family members with imports by saying not all guys who drive imports are all posers. I have friends that are building up an all buiness civic (yes no body kit or stickers) and that thing will be in the 11s this spring. Some guys are very knowalgeable and you have to give them credit for getting some serious horsepower outa those little motors. And yes i do despise those little posers and pucks that think that because they have an intake and a muffler on thier car theyre billy badboy. Hey, if they werent around, there wouldent be half as many people at the dragway to beat up on.

I personal liked the movie also, like ZZ4 says, its just a movie. if those idiots out there think they can actually runs 10\'s with a civic then more power to them..i don\'t mind taking there money if they want to race. Some imports have good potential, like a 300Z or a 3000GT, even if you look at a Skyline, the cars are just awsome in performance and handle like there on rails. But these guys who put a big wing and a hugh exhaust tip on there cars and think there fast are just simple mined, they obviously have never been in an old muscle car. I personal grew up around old muscle cars, my dad owned a body shop and restored old cars, the first real fast ride i ever had was in a 69 RAIII Judge, now thats impressive. These kids are growing up in a different world, where theres minivans and honda accords parked in the driveway instead of a big block camaro\'s and ram air GTO\'s. I personal don\'t care what other people drive. I don\'t have any children yet, but you can bet when i do and they turn 16 they\'ll have a god damn V8 to drive and learn what true power is!!!!!! http://www.s10v8.com/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif

I think i gave the wrong impression.. i only used the Fast and Furious as a title cuz i couldnt think of anything else.. i wasnt referring to the movie in ANY way.. i was just talking about idiot asses around town with the cold air intakes, 5\" fart pipes and 20\" rims that think their cars are fast.. Nitrojunkie I totally agree man there ARE people out there that put a lot of money into their imports and they do go quick... i give THEM credit.. a friend of mine has a CRX that runs high 11s no turbo and i give him a lot of credit. The problem is that the imports that actually GO FAST are FAR and FEW... well.. at least up here in New England thats the case. But these bend over buddies with their junk cars are giving imports a bad name... i can honestly say I will NEVER buy an import because of what people have done to them.
i wonder if in 15 years we will have classic honda\'s still running 11\'s or quicker?
Imports are great for great gas mileage, and yes you can make them go fast, but they\'re not going to last.

IT\'S CALLED S10V8!!! thats cool that u are going to have a supercharged 383 with 18\'s or 20\'s, but not everyone likes that flipflop BULL!!!! you ought to respect other peoples projects without talking crap!!!! dirrerent strokes 4 dirrerent folks. http://www.s10v8.com/images/smilies/icon_confused.gif

11-20-2002, 06:22 AM
i think the movie was awsome they are making another and ill be first in line to buy it. and there are some 10sec imports time and more money than any v8 would need but they are cool but
yes most punk kids bolt on\" oh sorry HAVE a wing bolted on\" and thing there car is a 12sec ride the locar speed shop had a import only \"compact american or http://www.s10v8.com/images/smilies/smileJap.gif\"drag race it sucked there was 3 cars in the 12sec range mainly turbo eclipes and a n2o honda but the rest were crap the low profile hard as a rock tires gave them no traction and the extra weight\"weight very important in compact racing\" of ther big sterios slowed them down much more than stock
i like a properly built import racer but it is more money than say a new camaro to get in the 12s but thats there choice i also think this is new school racing a laptop at the track instead of changing plugs or adjusting you dinosaur carberator
just my thought some imports rock and some s10s can look and be just a stupid its the owner not the car

I have 18\'s on my blazer. Only 245/40\'s on the back. They hook way better than my 275/50/15\" BFG radial TA\'s. They do make 18\" drag radials.

haha That movie is a crock of shit. So many stupid things not even close to right in there it wasn\'t even funny. For the record though, it\'s entirely possible to pull the wheels while getting some tire smoke...I\'ve seen it myself. Before the movie was released someone on another website had a still shot of the car right as the wheels came up...they hadn\'t yet edited out the lift that they used to pick up the car!! Plus if you notice when he\'s sittin there you can\'t see the front passenger side tire....it\'s missing plain as day!

and if it is possible to smoke the tirres while lifting the front ones... maybe... but not pure white smoke that you can\'t see thorugh... second of all if that charger could lift the tires then that peice of crap supra never would have touched it... i can\'t see a 4 banger touch a blown 440 wedge... those engines from the factory without the blower were \"rated\" at 425hp which was more like 500hp same as the hemi\'s with that blower and everthing that 440 wedge probably made well over 900hp? sorry i don\'t think that supra was anywhere close to that... i don\'t care how much lighter it was than the chager... i think everyone that thinks that civics can be fast without putting 40 grand intp the motor and changing the cv axels avter every run.. sorry that\'s not practical to me... and i mean comon the back end sliding sideways when it hits second gear is cool... fighting front wheel tire spin is *beep*.. it\'s just not cool

I\'ve seen plenty of cars in the 9s launch without lifting the wheels.
My POS high 12 second Stang yanks the wheels and that Supra would prolly walk it\'s happy azz.
hey actually the supra should be faster than the charger. off the line, no, but thats because those supras are TT, meaning they get a lot of lag until 4000rpm. i\'ve got a video of a 900+rwhp supra that does 9.3sec, without lifting the wheels, and without nitrous. no one ever sees them because it costs over 70grand to get it there.

WHAT COULD WE DO WITH 70K INVESTED IN OUR S10 SERIES? WE WOULD HAVE THE FASTEST AND THE MOST FURIOUS VEHICLES THAT WOULD LAST 15-20 YRS. WITH MONEY LEFT OVER TO BUY GAS AND TIRES DURING THAT TIME

Reminds me of my little brothers friend who has a riced out hatchback civic with megaboost, spouting his mouth off about how his civic would roast my 2003 cobras ass with ease, met him at the track saw him turn an impressive 9.30 in the 1/8th. well we lined em up and it wasn\'t pretty. I did see a civic turn a high 11 once guy had 30k under the hood.

A month ago I had my XTREV8 at the track for TIME ONLY. The opposing lane was a Cavalier who\'s owner was just bragging about all the crap he had on his Winged-wonder. We got up to the lights, he rolled thru and had to back up, both of us staged, lights went green, I went forward and he damn near ran over a track official \'cause he still had left it in reverse!

I always call that stupid movie the fast and fuel efficient. They coind this stilly term NAWS. I was at a shop the other day and heard some punk kid asking about naws for his civic. Couldnt help but laugh at him. He got all offended and suggested a race. I rode with a friend of mine who had an \'03 cobra there and he was up for it. There are 2 traffic lights that are almost exactly 1/8 apart. Well, we never needed to get out of 3rd to dust his sorry ass.
Though it was a ford, it was fun to waste that punk kids car. Should have gone title for title then drove the civic into a lake after winning http://www.s10v8.com/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif

LOL i get such a kick out of it sometimes. Like in my english class, there is a group of kids that sit around all class period and read there \"Super Tuner\" Magazines and point out to eachother the biggest exhaust tip in the magazine (which i think that they are just compensating for something) or the spoiler that makes their car makes their car look and sound less like a common ricer and more like like a lawnmower. But to the point one of these kids pulls up to the light after school, motions me to roll down my window, and proceeds to ask me to racer him (him in is early 90\'s honda CRX
vs. me in my 1985 Toyota pickup, just a stock base 2wd) so long story short the light turns green and i waste him so bad that he might think next time about praising honda so, when i go back to my english class on Monday i think he will be a bit quieter about his impulse to brag about his car
