infantryop4 Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 Well, they have a sticker of $150,000; but you aren't going to get one for less than $230,000 because of the $80,000 dealership markup. Also, its only the second fastest production car in the world. The Enzo can do 216MPH, the Ford GT has been rated at 212MPH. Get your facts straight next time, and keep lovin' teh Blue Oval. Infantryop: I need something with fuel mileage man. trucks are nice, btu I'm getting more out of a tank with the Stang. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Get a diesel... they get great mileage and can be set up to run FAST. also: They cirlcled the problem and highlighted it in blue Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But then again, the new Veyron does 0-60 in a bit under 3 seconds. Anybody can make any car do ANY thing. All it takes is money. And theres nothing special about turbocharged deisels, all you do is cram a sh*tload of boost in there. Hell theres HUGE gains from just reprogramming the ECU and picking up a cat-back. Too boring for my taste. If they came that way from the factory, THEN I'd be impressed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't care if a car is slow, but with that 2fast2furious body kit and GINORMOUS wing, it's a joke. Not to mention the dual exhaust tips Hyundai puts on there.

Tunershark Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 what kinda pickup is it? i highly doubt you could outrun a rice burner that weighs probably half the weight of your pickup but it all depends on alot of things Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Now you're kissing *albatross*. And I was calm. Notice the lack of exclamation points in my post. Tuner, thanks about the hookah. I like it a lot. As for the diesel VS. rice thing, Banks sells enough stuff for diesels nowadays, they CAN run tens. But so can IL4 powered cars, and just about everything else. Depends on the vehicle and what has been done to it, always has been, always will be. As for the ricer outrunning the truck.... there will always be a street car that can take a .75 ton+ truck, just because of something called aerodynamics. The Shelby Cobras only did about 155MPH, because it was a brick. Trucks have similar aerodynamics. Cars, on the other hand, are sleek and cut the air in its path. Simple as that.

Example: my friend's Duramax. 650hp / 1100 lb ft of torque (dynoed) hasn't lost a race yet... and has went up against just about everything except for those overpriced exotics. the versatility of trucks makes them better IMO Edited November 9, 2005 by infantryop4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Even with all that power, what can they do? Straight line. Theres no such thing as taking corners in a truck. In which case, if I wanted to go fast, I'd buy a car (which I did), if I want to haul sht and go offroading, I'd buy a truck (also did). Turbo Deisel Trucks aren't the Godsend you make them out to be. Edited November 9, 2005 by Antagon Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Antagon Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 And for the price/performance issue. Completely missing the point on that one. You can buy a fox body mustang and have it running 8's for 20k if you really wanted to. Now would it be fair to say every car that can't do 8's for 20k is overprice? pos? No, it wouldn't. The Ford GT cost 150k, and so what if its not the fasted car out there for the money? You're not buying it for top speed/acceleration, you're buying it because it's a FORD GT. One of my cousins owns 2 Lamborghini's. An older Diablo, and a new Murcielago. I wouldn't call them overpriced at all, you get what you pay for, exclusivity. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think most people would call a Ninja ZX-11 a crotch rocket. But if you're referring to the RSW in my avatar, it can handle itself. I've done the quarter a shave away from 11s. It'll outrun the ZX-11 to 60mph. It has a 45 degree lean angle, fully adjustable suspension (preload, rebound and damp), Kayaba inverted front forks from the YZF, 6pot dual brembos up front and 4pot rear disc. The engine? Not you usual enemic twin: 105hp, with a monster 138ft-lbs of torque. It'll handle 99.9% of the cars out there well into the century mark without beaking a sweat. And with that torque and the 200 series rear, cars that try rollons make me laugh out loud. Its really the closest modern equivalent to the old musclebike category thats all but dead (save for the V-Max), I mean, look at that exhaust. How can you doubt it's got "Sport" in its blood? But.... now, if you add some stickers to that thingamahowzit, you'd gain what 50hp and at least a second in the quarter, so that's all you really need to do. Or so I'm told. (BTW- this is all in good humor - I love bantering cars and bikes. Around here in the winter all we get to do is couch race til the roads thaw anyway, so I'm warming up here for some clashes on my car forums, heh. So don't take anything the wrong way. BTW- I'm not a rice hater, 6 years ago I had a modded gen 2 Eclipse GSX. But its fun pushing buttons.) Edited November 9, 2005 by Hillslam Quote Link to post Share on other sites
