      Seriously bubba, a modded GP vs. a track prepped supra. No contest, but I have a feeling that a lot of the hondas would get pwnd. Nick's GSR is probibly the exception. I have yet to see that car btw.

      That's because it hasnt ran in at least a year...

      I have a feeling there's gonna be a few quick hondas this year at sabin...it'll be fun to watch some domestic pwnage...and the guy that was thinking he's so sweet brought up the probe...that's track prepped too...

        Everything has a purpose, no vehicle is going to be the best at everything.

        Agreed to an extent. I believe there are cars that are the exception to this statement. Namely the Evo, STi, BMW M3, and Z06.

        These cars are all around contenders that will bring the pain on most vehicles by only spending a few grand, whether it's the drag strip, road course, or highway.

        Sure, they may not be number one at everything, but I'm pretty sure 11 sec. timeslips, 1G+ cornering, and 160+mph gearing is VERY feasible for those cars in one package of mods.

        Beats the hell out of a FWD sedan that can only go fast in a quarter mile setting, IMO.

          Sure but can you pick up an M3, Z06, or EVO for under 10k? Even if you could would you drive it every day? If you were abusing it and broke something could you get parts easily? These are the reasons I stand by the Grand Prix all the way, and I don't even like GM cars.

            Yes, you can get an E36 M3 for under $10k.

            Probably gets more ass than a Grand Prix, too.

                  Ahhhh my retinas. I don't believe that I would want an M3 that was selling for under 10k.

                          I'm pretty sure I just went on Autotrader to make sure I wasn't lying, and all the ones in the $9k range were E36s.

                          Granted, a lot of the M3s that came up were 10-13 years old, some auto, some sedan, but the point is that one can be found in that price range.

                          And it's still better than a loud ass GTP running open pipes at a drag strip while posting some sweet 13 sec. times.

People like this are the reason the term "ricer" even exists. I don't give a shit if you built a junkyard turbo system for your 1.5 Civic and it runs 14's. If you think you're the shit because of it and can't fathom a 3500 pound FWD family car can do better...you're a dumbass. "

                                I love how they can't believe the 14.5 in the hatch...

                                  Oh and by the way, I dont have anything against GP's its just the bashing on the forum i thought was kind of silly. "yeah man GP's pwn3 w00tw00t" type of attitude.

                                  Seems like a couple of the guys are nice though, so no hard feelings. Any car car be fast and enjoyable.

                                        I maintain my slightly biased viewpoint while not bashing anyone.

                                        Jordan... best keep your mouth shut on forums that are viewable to the people you are being a dick to.
