okay, these 2 people were talking about burning out and stuff cause they had their so called "american muscle" cars and i said that my car can burn out pretty well but not really good. so one of them gets pissed off! he tells me "you might be able to PEELout but you cant BURNout"...i didnt know there was a difference!

so then he tells me "you cant even talk in conversations like this cause you have a rice burner you f***er." so then, later, they are talking about how many valves they have in their engines and they both say 2 valves per cylinder and i say "i have 4 valves per cylinder so thats like 16 valves." (not trying to act like my car is better or anything) and the guy gets pissed off again! he's all "no you dont! thats bs." anyway, i tell him im positive because it says right on the engine "16 valves".

this just pissed me off very badly. he always talks about how "4 bangers" suck ass. some of them have over 300 hp! plus, he has this crappy $2300 '89 mustang w/a crappy paint job and he thinks his car is sooo much better than mine. he hates all rice burners and i just dont understand how people hate them so much. he knows that i know that his car is faster than mine...but its not slower than **** like he says it is.

thank you for listening to my frustration of these kinds of people. smile.gif

what i find interesting is that they consider their cars to be high performance when anything over 5k rpm would scatter their engine all over the pavement not to mention the super efficient 8 mpg or less that they are getting. Furthermore last time i checked my celi did a bit more than go in a straight line.

Well perhaps you are missing out on the fact that they have tons of torque between 0-5k? And that performance usually starts with RWD? And that, to this day, Displacement dominates over Vtec (vtec will never pwn anything).

You do know Vtec is for economy engines (Mostly) in that the engine timing is finally brought up to "normal" and UN-Economical speeds when Vtec hits...IE every other normal car runs "vtec" all the time (I read a long faq on that).

I am here cause I love 6th Gen celica's as a practical DD, but please don't make out any of these FWD 4 cyllander cars into something their not. By the time you swap out all the "economy" parts (suspension, port and reinforcement, add forced induction, etc etc) you finally have DECENT speed but are still FWD (And there is no defense for FWD, it simply SUCKS when it comes to performance).

Alas, the GT4 is cool, AWD + Turbo helps a lot in the 4cylli equation.

I think most 4-cylander owners assume their cars are fast when the "speed" you are feeling is generally because the car is light and weak. Given, I've driven a 4-500hp 7.8 litre V8 Trans Am, My own Mr2 Turbo (MR fun, with 250 hp to boot!), and gotten rides in an Rx7.....I've come to appreciate REAL sports cars and the true soul,finesse, and spirit that is alltogether inspirational.

Again, don't get me wrong, you can build up a cheap 4 cyllander honda/toyota...but it's still FWD...and still looks the way it does...and is nowhere near (in my book) as fun/cool/inspirational as a purebred sports car like the FD that will be in my garage this spring smile.gif
