No, but ill be damned if ill respect someone who "riced" out a car and did nothing to the motor.. at that point your a fucking faggot..bitWISE wrote:So a body kit and some paint means that a car is fast?SOAPboy wrote:Uh look at it?
And i wasent specificly talking about this POS. just the car threads in general.. most turn into RICE bashing, i gave you a reason..
Should all car manufactures design any car that isn't fast to be nothing more than a block of steel?
[size=75][i]I once had a glass of milk.
It curdled, and then I couldn't drink it. So I mixed it with some water, and it was alright again.
I am now sick.

If you are going to spend all this money on stuff that does nothing for performance then you are wasting your money.bitWISE wrote:It is turbo but this isn't a performance pissing contest.

Of course, if you have the money to make it faster, than a few aerodynamic enhancements are ok. Otherwise, its jsut dumb.
andy & soap: You just don't get it. You guys are hardcore "form follows function" people aren't you? If you only care about performance why did you buy a brand new Mustang GT? Surely you should could have gotten a faster car with your money.
Not completely my point but very close.c0ld wrote:I'm hardly a "rice" suporter but if someone feels the need to make their car look... wild or fast or what ever then I dont see what the problem is. Lets be honest here, how are we able to use the performance in cars compared to just driving around and looking at them? Add that to the fact that in most cases when improving the performance of a car there are sacrifices are made to its street ability. Examples being, improve horsepower would in most cases reduce your fuel economy and could put more wear and tear on the engine/drivetrain, or to improve the handling characteristics of the vehicle often lead to a sacrifice in ride comfurt depending how extreme you go with it. So in the end you end up with a car that is a blast to drive at an HPDE event that you may attend at what, once a month or so? but sucks balls for going to work and back almost everyday of your life. Not to say that mr2 is being used as a daily driver though, just debating the arguement of " if performance doesnt come before esthetics its rice"
But to go back to the mr2 its not like the car has things on it that blantently lie about what it is. Such as Type-R badges on a Civic EX...
Just my opinion...
