The Future of the F-Body - Page 2 - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

sixate · 05-13-2003, 02:22 AM

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.

Ashton · 05-13-2003, 03:04 AM

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.

Doc_34465 · 05-13-2003, 09:17 AM

I'm not getting into this.. The powers that be give him the right.. I'll just leave it at that..

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......

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

89transam · 05-13-2003, 05:17 PM

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.

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

Doc_34465 · 05-15-2003, 06:57 AM

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

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..

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

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!!"
