is there a more intelligent question than 'is it turbo?"

[mattman]

I just ask what engine they got. I ask all the guys with supra's that I see. Like all 2 of them.

I usually ask if its NA or T, only when we are just talking and I can't see the engine or the car in general.

i can't count how many people have pointed at the intake mani and told there friend that it was the turbo.they read twin turbo on the valve cover,but never notice there's just one big one.they all no what a bov is though.they just don't realize turbo car's come with them stock and they do nothing for performance

 

[jgcable]

Thats the most common question I get. It doesn't phase me at all because my n/a automatic is so totally bad ass. It gets looks everywhere I go and its just a stock car with a JDM wing and nice rims. The paint is stock and decent. Its the body style that makes the car stand out and the fact that there are very few (if any) of them currently on the road and pretty much none of them that are daily drivers like mine.

BTW, it seems to the general public that twins are automatically better than 1 turbo...Brilliance....I need to get me 3 turbos or 4 and then I'll be kickin ass.

That's because a million people are smart... smarter than one. :sarcasm:

rice or import

what you do with it is up to you... choose wisely

Ultimately... THE WORST most UNINTELLIGENT question known to mankind... is "IS IT FAST"? - If anyone ever asks you such a mentally retarded question, tell them to go hump a tree. Honestly what do you think dumbo it's a supra, but even then, FAST is not intelligent by any means. Now, if you asked me "how is the acceleration", or maybe even the handling, or powerband... that would be more well thought and appropriate.

Well, it can be slow, you know...

 

[benchwarmer]

Stop talking about my car Razoe, it's not nice.

I get asked if my car is turbo all the time. I just say "no, but it does have a kick ass vacuum leak." It usually takes the ricers a few moments to decide if I'm being sarcastic or not.

 

[RazoE]

its okay, my blue one is still slow..

i myself find it just annoying when people are like so is it turbo or is it a 5 speed as when they can look inside of the car and the front of the car just as stated but its even more funny when they are like is it an inline 4? or a v6? lol come on people.
