With all due respect, Cubic, you come on here with all of one post and pass judgement on certain issues and individuals. I hereby apologize for my outburst above. Everyone here knows that I am a reasonable guy and some know me personally.

WHOA....WHOA....WAIT.... just one minute. It all makes sense now. I can't believe I fell for it. Typical ricer behavior. 25pissy's imaginary friend just showed up to pose as a fan of American Muscle yet heap praise on the MR2. Nice try!!!

The apology still stands.

And also, 240hp@2800lbs does not add up to low 13s. It adds up to Honda S2000 performance exactly.....and that isn't a low 13 second car.

It is amazing how 25pissy's alterego shadows his own inadequacies......".....have you ever been to Japan....yada yada yada"......where a good majority of MR2s are fast as hell......yada yada yada." And then goes on to quote unrealistic 1/4 mile times to justify his "cybercar"(cybercar(n)....car dreamed up by ricer types from reading way too much ricer propaganda....car probably does not exist as described.....car may be in a state of disrepair while ricer claims all kinds of wild performance numbers from people who actually have the car[maybe 3 exist on the whole planet] that said ricer is fantasizng about...ricer may even post pictures of said car with "photoshopped" turbos placed in strange positions in the engine bay..... etc). And then he goes on to profess that 25pissy is an okay guy and gives him some good ole advice.

Just another delusion in the dark recesses of a deranged mind. Damn, I ought to be a psychoanalyst. We can call it "cyberphrenia".

Ok I go ahead and post altered quarter mile times along with my alterego.

You think what you want and believe who you choose. I am not going to debate with you on who I am or who you want me to be.

Flynlow, you do know the characteristics of an mr2 right? Right! And you do know the layout of an s2000 is totally different from an mr2? So you factor in rear wheel drive and the motor being right over the rear wheels, will give you an .3-.5 second advantage in the quarter. So again this takes you to mid to low 13's as previously stated.

I really do not know how you come to the conclusion that I am praising an mr2. I give you actual numbers to justify someone else's comments and you say that I'm praising. Like I said, do research before making any comments:

http://www.japmobiles.com/cars/cars_detail.asp?id=11

These are just a few websites that I took TIME out to find.

this post would work out the same way if someone went on that supra forum and posted about someone with a beast of a car like harlan or nineball stomping on a stock or bpu supra. give it a rest and stop trying to cause trouble.

"Thanxz for the reply. No it's not disconnected, it's the way the manifold is positioned to mount the turbo"

25psi, you clearly stated that it was connected with the above statement and then later admitted that it wasn't connected. And you say i am a moron? You don't even know whether or not your turbo is connected you dumb ***. When your car is built, let us know where to meet you. I look forward to that. Then you can call me names to my face you little pr*ck!~

25psi,

In all fairness, you stated it was connected which is partially true. It is connected at one end and clearly disconnected at the other end (covered with tape). Therefore it is NOT completely connected and NOT functional at this time. I understand that it is a project car and incomplete and not running at this point. Therefore any comments concerning performance are clearly speculation at this point. You have no right to make performance claims at this point which you admitted.
But I do not like being called names when I was yanking your chain due to discrepancies in your claims.
It is more factual to claim you are in the process of building a car that you HOPE to run 10s in. But you will get no support here by starting a thread that claims it is common place for LS1s to get beat by imports and by insulting people. You are clearly taking the wrong path. Go to an import site and post there and I'm sure you will get plenty of support as well as recommendations. We welcome all people here, but like to stick to facts and not fiction or fantasy. This entire thread has been unproductive, although somtimes entertaining.
Like I said before, let us know when it is finished and we can meet you at the track. I promise to be nice if you are, and if you happen to build a monster that kicks are butts, we will congradulate you.

Dean

25psi I think I am not alone here in wanting to put my fist in your mouth.

One thing's for sure- I don't think 25psi is going to mention to anybody who frequents this site (in person) that his alias is 25psi. Why? I'd bet my bottom dollar that he's scared he'd take a beating (and to be able to fit in that small-*** car, he'd have to be a 5'3" shrimp.)

BTW- Where are all your fancy "fast and furious" style graphics? Aren't you sacrificing some horsepower?

Now go do something useful with your time, 25psi, like hanging yourself with piano wire.

Bleed Chevy blue!!!

Yeah ok I clicked on it...and immediately I saw the flashy "in your face" graphics and the gaudy bodykit. I didn't even think about registering at the gay site, because frankly i don't want to waste my time. Why is it that all american cars are about speed and performance, not "the name" or "the look" of your shitty little rice burner. Yeah I'll give it to ya-a supra is fast. But it is a minority. Most jap crap are 4 bangers pushed to the limit of their puny potential. Hell, I could put a phat wing on my lawn tractor and some nos and race that bitch, but would I look cool? No. And it would only be fast for about one minute before the engine blew. My point is, american muscle has been around forever, always will be. This import scene of **** is a flash in the pan, stupid phase. Why don't you get real, and get some real muscle under your foot. Buy american, and get serious for once. Just plain stop being

Dynoed 347 to the wheels. With this setup I will make over 550-600 at the wheels.
Alright, I looked at the car. It looks somewhat good. Not too distasteful surprisingly. Anyway, I wanna know how you are gonna keep the frame straight when you blast 600 hp through that go kart? Won't it do a little twist and shout? Nice fart cans, who makes 'em, folgers or maxwell house?

FOREVER
