Leave your flames at the door please, its not my favorite car in the world either lol.

My friend's sister's boyfriend just got one of these and i was wondering if anybody has the downlow on it. I looked it up myself, but im a little out of the game and couldnt find anything useful - figured i'd ask the pros.

Was wondering: 1/4, 1/8, 0-60/100, weight, breaking if possible, ect, you know... the good stuff.

Thanks


BTW: hi.

MOTOR Magazine didn't mind IIRC. Not as fast as it feels, but not bad at all. I think they look pretty good.

[PsychoChimp22]

Ah yes, the 2 links that i found before .
I was wonding if there were any other sources for real world track times, other than Joe.. its pretty dependant on the driver. Do the factories ever release this sort of info? Or is 'Joe' my only hope

edit: thanks rock lol

If that car is auto the tranny fluid on the car goes bad in a matter of about 5 months. I know because I have an auto 2000 Hyundai Elantra and I went through a tranny swap at 86k miles which is pathetic and I put in new oil in and a almost new tranny last January and now the oil is brown from red. You also need to know that all Hyundai trannys manual and auto I believe are rebuilt units and are not new and they are Mitsu trannys. The auto trannys are shit. SPIII tranny fluid is the only fluid that can used in the auto trannys and not even AMSOIL can copy it. They tried. SPIII sucks but it costs as much as AMSOIL or Mobil 1 synthetic engine oil.

Bad choice on the car by the way. With the money or about 3k more they could of bought a slightly used RWD car like a E36 M3, 350z, 240sx, a G35 sedan or coupe, IS300 which by the way is lighter than a Supra and it has it's engine capable of about 650hp with a turbo, a used Subaru WRX STi, a used Mitsu Evo.


As for the times and weight and all that. You need not worry about that info as the car is FWD and it will never be fast.

You really are an idiot aren't you.

[Gtek-i]

LOLZ. I rather not buy cars that have been flogged to all hell and back and probably not broken in properly.

Just say no to buying used M3s, WRXs or Lancer Evos!

I already said it's FWD but then again I'm not trying and improve on something that cant be improved on and that is FWD.

My car is like any other FWD car is and always will be a grocery getter and a daily driver. It can never be a fast car.

I do hope one day to own a RWD car but cars are kind of like women. You throw money at them and never get a return on your investment so I'm keeping my FWD car for as long as possible because cars are just bad investments with no return unless of course you put them to work like racing and get a return.

Civic and Integra Type R, Clio Sport, 205 GTi, Cooper S and JCW, Astra VXR or OPC, FTO, Mirage RS, Focus RS and ST, 147 GTA, 156 GTA, need I go on? As the list can

You do realise the amount of sponsorship, endorsments and engineering contracts you need to make out of racing? Obviously not

yeah what about the FWD mini that completely molested all the RWD cars in group-2 during 60s?

Yep, Mini's were right up there at the early Bathursts, seeing as though they didn't really need to brake over the top of the mountain. Used to go great

I wasn't talking about legal racing. Name ONE event where drivers win money. There isn't any. That's why people street race and that's what I would do if I had the RWD or AWD car for it. I don't know about you all but investing money into something and not getting a return is not fun for me.

You can name all the FWD cars you want. They will never be as fast or handle as good as a RWD or AWD car so why even bother improving FWD?
FWD is quite possibly the dumbest ****ing idea anyone could have ever come up with.

These are the main rules for me when it comes to cars in order from best to last.
1st. European cars 2nd. Jap 3rd. American.
1st. RWD cars 2nd. AWD 3rd. FWD.
