#2 - IF and WOULD/COULD's are not factual realistic in regards to what we are talking about. IF I had a million dollars...I COULD buy a car that would whoop the crap out of everyone on here..but I WOULDn't do it, cause I DON'T have the million dollars....catch my point?

I don't view all of your posts as cocky. Some are humble and some aren't. However, trying to show your car is fast by the 70-170 roll only races, and Japan this and Japan that with $25K under the hood, is only showing your 'ricey' mentality...NOT your fast car appreciation.

Duh!!! This would be pointless...... Every once in a while a woman is so good at her sport that her only challenge is to play with the men...... but what self respecting man would go play in a womans league!!!! This is just an analogy to make a point..... I in no way think of myself as a woman nor consider all honda owners women!!!! but I'm sure you get my point!!!

[QUOTE=gsrhunter]I'm lost....how could you possibly do that over there.... when you can't even do it here!!!! BTW why do you guys insist on harping about me liking to roll race..... when I would spank you from a dig. You do know that my car runs 12.2 @122 on street tires right?[/QUOTE]
That is a VERY common time here with damn near bone stock cars. If you want to compare apples to apples... you start with your car bone stock and one of ours bone stock... you dump 10K into each of them... you WILL get walked ALL day long, from a dig, or from a roll. Thats the way I look at it. Some of your posts are fine, others are just plain stupid. You need to realize that your car isn't god's send, and in my opinion 12.2 isn't that fast even though my car probably can hit that. I'll consider mine FAST when im below 10 seconds in the future. End of rant.

Well I think this guy knows that his car is middle of the road here and that there are faster LS cars and Mod cars. I can also understand that some people get tired of hearing about in Japan this and in Japan that.

Well I also have to give him props for his car being what it is regardless of how much money he put into it. That's the one thing I hate hearing with some of the local guys I talk **** with.

They holla that my brought new SS plus the mods that I put into my car cost oh so much money and they brought 85 Fox Bodies and put half the money that I put into my car into their cars and we run about the same times at the track and it can go either way on the streets.

Well they have cars with no interior and no air or powersteering. I can go on a date in my car. We had two different goals so we go to different outcomes. So I really don't care how much somebody put into there car. IF it's fast it's fast.

Ok i'm sorry for the rant. Just my two cents

Geez this guy's a ******* ricer. They are FWD cars for a reason, they aren't meant to be fast. 122 trap and a 12 second slip LOL. You're gonna get bashed on a site full of Mullet-pimpin Mustang and F-body owners, get used to it.

You should do a little research before you post....... I know you want to feel like you are a part of something in this life...... but I was referring to my times on street tires to let most of the guys who talk the ricer this and that crap know to lay off. I know f-ing ricer is a totally acceptable expression on a domestic forum.... just like the N word is totally acceptable in the south...... but to me it just makes you seem ignorant..... Lacking the brain resources to say something intelligent...... so f-ing ricer will just hafta do!!!

Wow i can't believe the amount of crap you guys are giving gsrhunter.

He's stated multiple times that he doesn't think his car, which ran 11.4@129, is that fast. He doesn't seem like a ricer. He doesn't lie about his car, doesn't have a double decker wing or unpainted body kit.. What the hell are you guys bagging on him for?

Jesus, alot of people on ls1tech have this attitude, it really sucks.

I'll admit I may have overstepped my bounds with that analogy..... because I've never actually been to the south. From what I hear though places like alabama, mississippi, tenessee, and others still have large comunities of racists. I hafta admit I've never been there to experience it first hand.

Oh boy, here we go with the f'in "saying ricer makes you a racist" S*** again!!

Japan, Inc. did a GREAT job brainwashing most in this country into thinking/believing this very idea, i.e.; "If you don't like our product, for ANY reason, you are a dumb, bigoted racist".

Smart people know the difference between animate (human beings) and inanimate (automobiles) objects. "Racism" can ONLY apply to human beings, people. Think about it. Of course, the importfanboyzz will ALWAYS try to turn this around, one way another!

The only motors I see in that range are in high Dollar domestics and Exotics.

Forged 4 bangers are cheap usually.

Some of you people, and by you people I mean some SRK guys, like to bitch about rice more than anything else. Its not really about running X time or wining X race or accomplishing X goal with them. Its about choose one side or the other and having a little **** fest. Much like most "discussions" on polotics that I see and hear. GSRhunter makes for a good target, and so everything gets disected 8 ways from sunday and all the old stereotypes come out. Its not 1992 anymore. Nobody with any real cash takes Riced and Rediculus movies seriously. You can build a sub 5L engine that makes a ton of power reliably. Forged 4G63s are under 3K and will handle more WHP than the LS1 you can buy for that price. And contrary to popular beleif, there are cheap fast and decently reliable non-Windsor or SBC apps. Not really better or neccesarily equal even, but definitely not a waste either. Is displacement a huge advantage? Yes. Is a RWD car the best all around way to go? Yes.

Was the average F-body built for racing? Give me a ******* break. Race cars dont need additonal SFCs, new rear ends, better clutches, or higher stalls. The F-body is a great platform because it is a tough relaible fast street car. Its not meant for the track, though. That argument is pretty damn stupid in fact. Track cars are maitenance nightmares.

Now lets hear the "then leave" arguments from stupid *** newbs who registered two months ago. I've been on here for somethig like a few years IIRC. Never been banned, never been close. Secondarily: NO. I love LS1s, still planning a build with one. Love the info on this site and the stories in here. And here in the USA, people get to point out BS when and where ever with very few exceptions. I love this country too. So all the fan boys who like to disect crap and bitch about how an Evo has a low trap for its ET then in the same breath laugh at a car trapping in the 120s can **** off.

Beat me to it.

gsrhunter, that is the second time you've brought the "N' word thing into a post (that I have seen). Do I like Asian manufactured cars? NO! But I'll laugh and joke and talk crap with people that do. I rarely get mad due to a forum post and almost never call names...

But this "N" word crap you seem to be hung up on is retarded. I live in the Confederate capital. The "N' word is no more "acceptable" here or anywhere else in the South as it is anywhere else in the North, East or West. It's less acceptable socially than shouting "****!" in church on Sunday morning.

Welcome to LS1Tech. get the ******* chip off your shoulder and be less defensive. You'll do fine.

I say this to everyone who decides to chime in with thier 2 cents..... Please read and understand before you write. I don't believe saying the word ricer makes you a racist. I believe the word to be a generalization just like the N word. It lumps a group of people together by outward appearances and not by content of character. (sorry Dr. King.... I didn't know how else to say that) LOL

Some people use the N word to describe any person of color..... for political correctness sake we'll call them POC's. The N word in basic terms means an ignorant person..... so anyone can be the N word. Most people say ricer.... or the R word LOL..... to describe any person with an import. While I believe it to be a person with airplane wings..... 5 million decible fartcan..... ect. ect!!! So anyone can be the R word.

My car is so not ricey that it actually spits ricey stuff off. I put a blue V-tec solenoid cap on my car because I thought it looked cool. Popped the hood and its gone..... my mechanic said my engine was like....." I don't want that ricey crap on me.... pfftuey!!! LOL
