First of all I was only joking. I haven't even checked back to this thread until today and if I would have noticed you called me a flamer I would have said something before.

HAH! You think I spam and flame! That's hilarious dude. I spam because I actually reply to posts all over the board? There are plenty of people with more posts than me. I suppose they're all spammers too, huh. There are other mods and admins with more posts than me.

You know, on the last board every time that I posted a thread of an import there would be about 10 dudes that would all come and bash what I posted way more than what I said. So can you please tell me what the difference is? I'll tell you the difference. I didn't take it personally. I suggest that you don't take simple things so personally. You cannot dictate the dirction of your thread. People will say what they want. I bet in about 90% of the threads that I start half of the people disagree with what I have to say. Are they spammers too. Of course not. They have different opinions. I can handle that and obviously you can't. Please chill and don't be so sensitive about a comment that you don't like.

BTW, there's no way in hell that my comment was a flame. I just simply stated the truth. Last time I checked the F-body cars are dying, right? I thought so. :)

The F-Body will live forever, and the rice will continue to eat our dust...... 50 years from now there will still be F Bodies eating rice while the rice of today is recycled into a stack of toasters sitting on a shelf at Wal-Mart.

Trust me, the powers that be don't give me any more rights than you. Please don't take this so personally. I don't understand why you're so sensitive about this. You don't see me getting all mad about Ashton saying he doesn't like imports do you?

Ashton 05-13-2003 12:14 PM

Ashton likes imports..... Jaguar's, BMW's, Rolls Royce's , Mercedes Benz, Ferrari and Aston Martin to name a few..... :)

big_bubba 05-13-2003 12:40 PM

Amen to that...... :D

I'll correct myself. I think you just like making fun of imports. :D

I dunno guys...as much as i like muscle cars and whatnot it is very obivious that they are on the way out. Who needs a gas guzzling v-8 when stock four bangers are now going 13.2 and can out handle our cars by a long shot. Not to mention they are more comfortable, reliable and can be argued some of them just look better.

I mean can you imagine in 10 years?

Spyder_Venom 05-14-2003 05:49 AM

I have stopped caring about stock cars for some reason but I would tend to agree with the statments that are made...

If your going to modify something though - its a lot easier to make the power with a LS1/LS6/LT1/LT4/LT5 than it is with a Honda dollar for dollar. :)

Doc_34465 05-14-2003 07:33 AM

I agree.. I have a 3.4L V-6 stock Firebird.. And There are a ton of bolt on mods that can be done to this car to pull more horses.. A cold air induction system, turbo kit, and a perfomance chip will get me 13's easy.. If I wanted to..

I'll post some pics later today of my car, as soon as I get them uploaded..

Doc_34465 05-14-2003 07:53 AM

OK.. Thanks to phredgreen and Bill, I'm able to post my pics now.

For some reason, this didn't work right.. If you right click on the picture and click Show Picture in the menu, it will pop up..

Doc_34465 05-14-2003 09:55 AM

Well, it did.. I don't know what the deal is... Crap

tgg7979 05-14-2003 11:26 AM

Did u put the [img] tags around the link?

SweetVroom 05-14-2003 01:19 PM

I hated the F-Bodies, but i'm sad that they left because now there are very few cars to compete with! :D

Ashton 05-14-2003 02:46 PM

Your host dosen't allow hotlinking.... but you can copy/paste the URL in a new window to see it :)

I do like to make fun of ricers, not because I care about what they drive but because of their strange desire to be humiliated as they pull up next to me and actually think they have a icecube's chance in hell of whipping my SS.... I usually just race the ones with their girlfriends in the car, thats the most fun.... I did race a Acura once that had a ton of mods and really surprised me, it was all stock looking so when the light turned green I didn't really punch the gas.... that little car screamed and even though it sounded like it was going to blow up he stayed right next to me until I gave the SS a little more pedel and left him behind. That's the one and only time a ricer even came close to keeping up with the SS...... I'll give him credit though, that was a fast little car. :)

Yea but....

Your car.... $4000
Turbo kit...$4000 (im guessing)
CAI.........$200 or cheaper
Chip......$200 and up

So thats $9400 for 13's. assuming that this combo wil net you 13's to begin with.

Im pretty sure you can get an eclipse into the 12's or faster for that kind of cash.

Doc_34465 05-14-2003 06:00 PM

The turbo kit isn't that much.. Twin turbo is a little more than that.. But depends on wether you go electric or belt driven.

Anyway.. We can argu this till we all turn blue in the face. I'm not realy interested in numbers anyway.. If I wanted speed I would have bought a WS6 Formula or a T/A. I bought the car for looks.. But then next I supose someones going to say my car looks like shit.

Ashton 05-15-2003 03:07 AM

I wouldn't say that..... I think your car is pretty cool Doc :D

Thanks Ashton.. I appreciate that..

And thanks for posting it.. MSN is footing the "Bill" now, since my ISP wouldn't let me hotlink..

As we all know 2003 marks the first year since, what, 1968 that we don't see an F-Bod roll of a showroom floor. I think I cried when I heard that there would be no more Firebirds and Camaros. Ever since I was a young boy, I have been in love with the F-Body style and performance, and have owned 2 that I must say were the most exciteing drives, and still have one today.

I would be interested to hear from other F-Bod fans, and get your feedback on this lost legand. What are your feelings on this "end of an era"? And do you think there will ever be a comeback? Also, if you have pics, lets see em'! I'll post mine later, as soon as I find the disk that I have them on..

They can;t do this to us.:(


/runs away crying

Doc_34465 05-15-2003 07:32 AM

Well.. Sadly, they are, err did.. But the legond will live on..

Scorps 05-15-2003 07:33 AM

yes restore every car you see:)

cutiebootie 05-15-2003 10:40 AM

Nice car Doc... Would like to see more of it after you've dreessed it up.. :)

Doc_34465 05-15-2003 12:47 PM

All in good time.. I'm thinking of PSing some of these with some ideas..

Doc_34465 05-15-2003 02:33 PM

This is one concept I had.. Tell me what you think..

cutiebootie 05-15-2003 03:16 PM

I like the red eagles, but not the solid red panels ... maybe if they were red, white, and blue like flags.

Doc_34465 05-15-2003 03:22 PM

Oooo.. Then I could run around looking like Captain America!

lmfao

I love American muscle cars, and it saddens me to see Gm doing this. What do I drive? A Nissan, however it was built in Smyrna, Tennessee, and I don't try to make it into a race car. I didn't choose a Nissan because I think imports are cool, i chose a Nissan because it's what i could afford after I figured in the operating costs. I also have a K-5 Blazer that pumps out some serious horsepower and i haven't found too many honda's that can match it.

Doc_34465 05-15-2003 07:01 PM

OK.. Here's one for the PhotoShoper gurus..

I'd like to see what my car would look with a new paint job/style.
Lets get creative..

Spyder_Venom 05-16-2003 06:59 AM

We can just look at it this way - modded "imports" don't win in GT1 (the modded class). The NSXs, 911's - all of them get schooled... by what? GM POWER! :P

Doc_34465 05-16-2003 11:51 AM

Dude! I love that Sig..

"I finally found a hobby i'm good at...collecting speeding tickets!!"

liquid_dreams 05-16-2003 12:09 PM

Bah..... They will never die, there are thousands like me that love them and will spend big bucks to keep them on the road eating rice.......

Rice A Roni....... The F-Bodies Favorite Treat! :D!

Doc_34465 05-19-2003 07:03 AM

Hehehe.. I love you man..

sixate 05-25-2003 09:19 AM

Doc, this is for you. I thought you'd like it.

http://www.raceworx.com/funnypics/ho...ew%20black.jpg

Shit, I laughed when I saw this.

Doc_34465 05-25-2003 02:19 PM

ROFL!

OK.. You've redeemed yourself.. Truce..

I'm sorry..

nash 05-28-2003 09:22 AM
