Double standard on more than one account. We don't like being looked down upon but look down on other cars.
I don't care WTF it is, if it's fast and clean it has my respect.
I agree 100% with that, I even have respect for a crx if it can do 9 sec 1/4, I mean, gotta hand it to the owner, that fucker got balls and loves his car.
in the end, isn't that what we all are? car enthusiasts? seriously? don't be hating on other cars, I pretty much drove every single type of japanese cars imaginable (I lost about 42k depreciation of all my cars alone, my parents weren't happy).
Quin, judging by your comments, I can guess with some certainty that your Supra is probably an NA? and most likely you try to race people and get beat to a pulp by civics and corolla's? if so, its not anyone else's fault but yours,
I'm pretty sure almost everyone on this forum's car isn't stock in 1 way or another, we put money into our cars. we buy our mk3 at around what.......2-5k? you can't even buy an SRT-4 with that money......so I think it's understandable that we will be wtf pwned by them stock for stock for sure. hell my sister's AWD toyota matrix can probably rape my NA DD car's ass, hell even my brother's sentra can probably kick my NA supra's ass. but if they mess with the 1j, thats a different story.
for the money's worth, I am quite sure you can make the supra go much faster than an SRT-4, and have more fun. I have seen tons of econo family cars of the 21st century give the beat down to stock 20th century sports cars
it's just the way the world is, if you're anti progressive, be prepared to get your ass beat.
I chose to buy my mk3s because I like them for their looks, and the fact that you can't find them anymore, also, pop-up lights gives me a hardon, go figure...... everyone in my family thinks I'm nuts, my parents want me to go get a mercedes, but I chose this instead
I don't say for a moment that my car is better than new cars, it's not, it's old, it's got problems, it needs fixing all the time, no warranty, fucking shitty ass electronics, no ipod connections, it creeks, water seeps in through the seals. but hell, it's my choice, I like it this way, and I'll say it right now, an SRT4 is better than our cars, hell it's newer
that being said, you need to stop denying that your supra is probably super slow and gets no respect and start putting your money where your mouth is.....period..........
that's what I'm doing, can't beat a civic SI with a 7mgte? go 1jz
can't beat a 2010 SS camaro? upgrade the turbos, put in bigger injectors
can't beat a GTR? put in new cams, put in even bigger injectors, go GT35R, get standalone
can't beat something? throw money at your car, it's the solution
