I'm pretty sure that's a 1997 base model... they had 191 at the crank

I call bullshit.

Quote :

""Soon as we started off, we hit 60 [mph] in like six seconds, so we both had some work done under the hood," Boone said. "

uh yeah, real impressive... lots of stock front wheel drive cars do better than that

"At the time, Boone said he had a 150-horsepower shot of nitrous in his car. He said he had to draft behind him so he could get close enough for the nitrous to really do its job."

riiiight...

haha its hilarious how they got ric0rs, eurofags and domestic-driving import-haters all lookin sorta dumb but in a different way. I have seen worse articles in the technician though. remeber the muffler-hatin article?

12/6/2006 11:17:39 AM

Woo-woooooooooooooo?

HOLY SHIT!!! six seconds on 0-60 man we definatly know they had some work done under the hood

hmmm thats a smart one

"Miller said he races because he enjoys "beating the imports that have nitrous and not getting caught. It is a true rush.""

what the fuck is the deal with all the nitrous talk anyways?? id be more worried about imports with some exhaust fans than ones with nitrous. all in all, another wonderful article by the technician

50% of the time nitrous is "idiot speed"

dur i wanted a faster car but didn't really want to think about it.

(the other 50% of the time its used to spool something or on a motor built for it in multiple stages)

12/6/2006 1:57:37 PM

i dont know too terribly much about cars

but i do, however, know that making $10,000 in upgrades to a car while holding a job at chickfila would be pretty tough

12/6/2006 1:59:58 PM

isn't the 0-60 for the rsx 6-7 seconds anyways?

12/6/2006 4:10:23 PM

yeah like 6.5-6.8 or so for the type s I believe.

12/6/2006 4:11:27 PM

that was an expensive half a second

12/6/2006 5:41:57 PM

for 10k, he could have gotten a sports bike and split his 0-60 in half... Then wreck afterwards and kill himself, therefore taking his stupidity out of our gene pool...

12/6/2006 5:53:40 PM

In response to the first post...yeah its a 1997 base model and the 191 at the crank may be an overstatement...i should know...thats my car in the pic. Its just for show, looks fast though.

12/6/2006 7:43:31 PM

^Hey do you have a body kit on your 3000gt? If so I think I've seen your car up on the 4th floor of the coliseum deck.

[Edited on December 6, 2006 at 7:48 PM. Reason : ]

12/6/2006 7:48:17 PM

Yeah man sure do...usually get to campus lil before lunch and parking is a pain at that time. At least a park where someone wont beat ur doors in when they get outta their car. So i usually end up parking near the top.

12/6/2006 7:59:34 PM

Yeah you've parked next to me before, I think you knew I wasn't likely to bang my doors on your shyte.

12/6/2006 8:30:19 PM

^haha that's a good response.

i park my truck next to really low cars so they cant bang their doors on mine

12/6/2006 8:42:17 PM

possibly...what do u drive again?

oh ok...i remember now...parked beside u a few times. Figured you respected yours and other peoples cars. Nice car. My friend back home has one that he's done the stage two upgrade and working on the third. Done anything to yours?

12/6/2006 9:19:17 PM

Pics were in the second PM. This is embarrassing to talk about in a street racing thread btw.

saabturbo told me after a certain point the upgrades cost too much money and it's easier to do the shit urself and gain more power. i think he is right.

A few people in here probably remember him.

12/6/2006 10:15:35 PM

12/6/2006 10:17:21 PM

I was pretty suprised when he went off to the military...while his car is still just sittin there.

I actually like the looks of the 97 VR-4 the best. I've got a friend with a modded 95 vr-4... some people here know him ( zxappeal and a couple others), another with a 96 vr-4, and another with a stock white 93 vr-4 that some of you may have seen on campus.

I don't dig the Evo-like 99 vr-4 rear wing, but have you considered a 99 conversion for the front headlights and rear panel? you'd need the 99 front bumper though, which looks sick with a front-mount intercooler...

i have a friend with a fast car too.

12/7/2006 1:27:59 AM

i have lots of friends with slow cars, but combined, they'll beat your friend up.

12/7/2006 1:34:16 AM

^^^ yeah i thought about the 99 conversion before i got the kit. Was gonna do it and put a lip on it, but it was too much money...$600 for bumper and $1200 for the headlights...and i agree, anything looks better with a front mount...

i just laugh whenever i hear someone talking about his car having "stage ___". that means precisely nothing, unless you specify "Buschur Racing Stage 2 package" or "Dinan stage 1 chip."

12/7/2006 8:39:16 AM

^^^ yeah $1200 for headlights is rediculous

12/7/2006 9:32:40 AM

hahaha that was great. somebody execute them.

It wasn't immediately apparent but he was talking about the mopar stage 2 and 3 upgrades for an SRT-4.

12/7/2006 12:09:46 PM

I hope the people in the article read this thread and realize what tools they are.

12/7/2006 2:00:28 PM

I agree. I always want to dump gas on that 3000gt and lite it up when he rides around campus trying to pimp his ride. What a chooch.

12/7/2006 2:06:35 PM

this is possibly the gayest thread we've had here in a while. even worse than all the bmw threads.

whose this fag with the 3000gt? what a joke. i hope i get to park beside his junk sometime.
