<< All American cars look nasty to me >>



That's quite a blanket statement if I've ever seen one! You don't like how the Corvette coupe looks? :Q >>



YES. It's a blanket statement because for me, it's TRUE. I actually hate how Corvettes look. I like Japanese and European cars.
 
I declare a jihad against american cars =)

Good lord yes! 😀

drag racing and Nascar and other gay sports of the likes have to be the silliest way to "race" a car i know of.. drag racing is only good to see what kind of times you can run.. to drive your car for 1/4 mile every day as a living or hobby or whatever would really suck.. rally driving on the other hand i could handle every day! nothing is the same!!!!

<< '00 Chevy Monte Carlo Z34 with 3.8L engine.

Smokes rice-racers within seconds 🙂 >>



Lets see how often that car has to go to shop for repairs compared to Civic 🙁 >>



hmm, don't even know what makes you think that. 2 years and all I was doing was changing oil and filling up gas. As a matter of fact, I haven't even opened up a hood yet. It drives perfectly and that's exactly what I expect from a car. And if you think Civic is best car on the planet, you really need to grow up my friend.
 
the 3.8 is a strong engine and i would expect the same thing man, they are good running engines and SHOULD be that reliable.

my Celebrity had the 2.8 MPFI V6 and it ran like a CHAMP... 290,000 kms and not burning oil or anything, and running very smooth.. the car would have still been around today but about 10 months ago got into a mishap with a deer.. R.I.P. Eurosport! 🙁



 
most of dragging is not about skill at all its about who has more power......yes of course there is a small amount of skill envolved

but until i find that video that shows the psycho footwork a rally driver has to go through
you just wouldn't believe some of the stuff they do its insane.....

rallying is more skill than it is car......you could take a better evo VI and have it beat by say a weaker subaru due to skill and not oh look i have crap loads more horsepower......lookey at me i have more money kinda thing

HELL YEAH!

I don't consider a drag race an actual race of skill. It's a test of the car, it's engine and it's weight. Just about anyone can plant their foot on the gas and shift.

Rally is about real skill...

Oh yes, that's something I do so often out on public streets 😕

??? where do u live??? somewhere in mountains?

 
i have a Peugeot 106 (1.4). It's small and i have good mileage.
do they sell Peugeot -- Renault -- Seat -- etc in the U.S.

Nope, you see them once in a while though, I think they're just imported...
 
95 Dodge Stratus ES 4dr...

Decent looking, reliable, v6...kinda fast, but since I don't race it's not really a big deal...pretty good sized car for what it is too...I like it better than my friend's 95 Accord which seems a lot more cramped, but that's just me...I'm a big guy 😀

My mom owns a 99 Hyundai Elantra, which I actually kinda like, it's a quick little car with nice gas mileage and a sweet warranty..
My dad owns a 95 Olds Something-or-other.. it's visited the shop quite a few times...then again, my dad never takes any care of it...

Just my $.2 🙂
 
So, let me get this straight. Somebody pulls up next to you at a light and revs their engine. You then shout out the window, "Sorry, but I'm a Rally kind of guy." Man, that must get old! 😛
 


<< ...more dangerous than drag racing? >>


LOL hell yeah! Take a trip to your closest dragway that's open to the public. You have at least a hundred amateurs drag racing without an incident. I can't remember the last time they opened up a dirt track to the public to let them tear around on it. Wonder why?

WOW...:Q I don't know what else to say. I can guarantee you are in the small minority on that one! To each his own I guess.
