Iron vs. Rice

First topic message reminder :

when it comes down to it which is faster and why? what car would you use to drag race in?

Any american songs about Honda's or Toyotas?

Trivia question:
Who can name a song with a American car?

Little duece coupe
And many more. Trying to think of the one about a nash, but forgot it. LOL

Only change U got to do on a Muscle car is the fvcking pedal to the metal.lol

Sorry to say,but as much as I like ricers,american cars will outperform them anytime.

86 Grand national
70 Hemi cuda
70 Hemi Charger(the new chargers are just new intrepids)
03 Ford mustang cobra
any year corvette
Ford Fairlane
1995 Saleen Mustang s351
AC Cobra
1968 Pontiac GTO
1969 Mustang GT 500
2008 Mustang GT 500
1970 Superbird
Ford GT 40
Apply the same dollar amount that U spend on a ricer to any of the irons....and see what happens in a quarter mile-not 1/8 mile.

Where does my 69 Yenko fit in Dennis ? 427 big block baby

Don't diss Toyota Dennis. My 95 Twin Turbo Supra will run circles around your CRX. Don't make me go into the garage. I know u want to drive it. Richie is first in line. It should be ready this summer.

dyno queens thats all supra's are no offense man but i mean come on

Still nothing compared to American muscle.
I didn't see Nicolas cage trying to steal a 1998 Honda civic in 60 seconds.

blah blah blah come on man

It was sad to see a rice motor in a mustang in tokyo drift tho.

Yeah the 70 440 6 pack challenger is worth a pretty penny right now. Why did you sell it ?

Hey, got to hand it to the CRX's to be loud man.

I was going to college and living home with family. They needed the space.

Ah. Guess that a good excuse then. LOL

Not an excuse. Had to set my priorites to establish myself in life. If I hadn't done that, my life will certainly be different now. Still think about the car. I have more than enough space to store it now. Wish I still have it. My next one will be the 2010 Z28.

Nice. What about the challenger srt ? lol

Damn Kumar. I just helped restore a 69 GTX. Numbers car. Had a 440 in it.

No such animal. The "original" Hemi was a 392. Then the 426. The 440 had normal combustion chambers. As a matter of fact, the modern era "hemi" that Dodge is pushing now doesn't even have hemispherically shaped combustion chambers......nothing like taking a name and using it for marketing.

As for songs.....
Hot Rod Lincoln
409
Little GTO
Boss Barracuda
SS396

That's all I can think of off the top of my head that have cars in the titles, but there are many more that are about cars, Dead Man's Curve, Spirit of America, Little old Lady from Pasadena, etc.

Oh, the Beach Boys actually did do a song in the 50-60s called Little Honda.....but they were talking about the little motorcycles they made back then.....


One more thing, The Nick Cage version of Gone in 60 Sec. was a remake. The original was made in 73, and the original Eleanor was a 73 Mach1.

Sorry, rambling......

I was about to mention that there is no such motor, 440 six pack?...yeah, 440 hemi?, ahh nope. haha

Anywho, I like any fast car. But I also love torque.
I have yet to get in a smaller ci powered fwd car and feel torque like that of any larger displacement rwd car.
I have a 67ss Camaro I'm building, aluminum heads, 4.56 Strange rearend, 2 stage kit, should run low 10's by the end of the summer.
But theres a kid who works for me that has a little Honda, he has about 5 grand total in his car, 4cly turbo, and guess what, it does 10's!!!

I think it's cheaper to build a ricer. Fox body Mustangs are an affordable car to build for drag too.
But all in all, I prefer American cars for drag racing. Just a preference.

Heres my Monte I built last summer, does 10.9 on motor, never sprayed it yet. not sure about jetting and since its 14.1 i'm a little nervous about running it at all.
