It was a different time
No. Zoomers still get throbbing erections for Ricemobiles and ask 6 to 7 figures for them on auction sites. They'll actually charge more if it's stock and gutless.
zoomers don't have 6 to 7 figures.
Ferrari engines are amazing but a 2JZ has seemingly near unlimited potential due to how well machined it is. secondly, super cars tend to actually have a lot of mechanical issues because they're produced in low quality doubling the point that you probably can't push it as hard as a mass produced high performance engine.
Rice was never considered cool. Everyone thought it's a ruined Supra. (they were right)
>Rice was never considered cool
t.googobbling gay
>posts a ricer/shit driveing comp 12 for 13 year old boys
Way to literally prove my point, you stupid homosexual
people riced out and slapped vinyl on american pro street cars all the time back then too you lame no-fun allowed "drives a beige car" wiener gobbling homosexual
frick off to your "cool" beige toyota camry
That's not rice.
You literally don't understand basic definition of the cars or cultures you're talking about.
Frick off to the sandbox, poser
>moron who rides the bus calling people poser
Boomers had such a simplistic mindset when it came to racing- “fastest in a straight line”.
>Boomers had such a simplistic mindset when it came to racing- “fastest in a straight line”.
i take it you never heard of group b
Boomer Americans bro, not Europeans. We never had amazing rally courses here which is bizarre seeing how rural America is.
why do euros have all the good things when it comes to racing
>nurburgring
>isle of man motor racing
I always thought the Autobahn would be the most American thing ever. Definitely something they would have in Texas.
But it's not. Why not?
I have no clue brother. We even had a period in the 80s where they tried to limit speeds nationwide to 55 mph. You’d think with 3 major auto manufacturers we’d have a very different motoring culture.
none i can think of off the top of my head that comes close to the nurburgring
>can walk on with car and paper workw ith money and able to take part
That's because the Nürburgring is not a race track in the classical sense. It's an open toll-road, where everyone who pays the toll is able to drive on. By law it's a one-way road and all German street laws apply when using it. When there is a real race, the road is legally closed, the same way as the city of Monaco is closed when they're driving F1.
>literally what all the racing in fast and furious besides 3 is
Is there any racing after 3?
Don't they just become Marvel characters after that with cars instead of Iron Man suits?
There was a notable change in Fast 5. Coincidentally thats when The Rock joined the cast. It was like Mission Impossible: cars edition.
Now they've gone completely off the rails and are basically sci fi flicks.
Drag racing is about the competition in engine building dip shit
>he continues being an illiterate moron posting drag cars which HE confuses for rice for some reason
keep owning yourself, moron.
>homosexual calls a 10 second supra "rice"
>10 second supra
lmao this moron quoting the numbers of a fake riced MOVIE car as if it's real
No wonder you don't know anything about cars. I bet you think the riced Jetta with no brakes is a real car as well
its the conceit of the fricking movie you dense fricking moron,
>HURR DURR DATS NOT REALISTIC
they also magically rebuilt it from a literal wreck in a matter of a week with parts "overnight shipping" so shut the frick up you granny shifting homosexual
Haha, no you meant it and were called out, shit for brains.
youre a fricking moron who takes movies literally enough to assume someone else does, you gay moron
This. A white chad would have been driving a supercharged Mustang or something. asiatics were all in on the imports.
>a riced mustang
MORE THAN YOU CAN AFFORD, PAL. FERRARI!
kek, how do your respond without sounding mad?
You take his ass to Gapplebees.
yes, everything under the hood
>300hp engine that can be cranked to 1000hp+
There is 0% a Supra outdrags a Ferrari. That scene was absolutely moronic.
old mid ferraris arent that fast, corvettes beat them
Yeah, the john carmack story about the dealership telling him to basically to scoff at muscle car owners who wanted to drag him, and just remember that the ferrari was more expensive.
fast and furious is a base model f355 spyder, its like a 14 second car, the supra was supposed to be a ten second car
john carmack had a fricking V12 testarossa
a testarossa that he turbo’d to over 1,000hp and was capable of racing literbikes… Carmack was insane for the time
Lol. Lmao even.
In my home town there is a tuner who out-dragged a Bugatti Veyron in his 860 HP Opel Kadett Grandpa-mobile. Expensive super cars are a joke, you're not buying performance, you're buying leather seats and prestige. A colleague and school friend of said tuner built a 1296 HP 4G63T and planted it into a '96 Mitsubishi Colt with custom built 4WD. He's doing professional drag racing now. Before that, his 4G63T had 870 HP, 0-100 kph in 3.0 sec, 100-200 kph in 3.7 sec. A Bugatti Veyron takes 4.8 sec from 100-200.
And how much money did they put in their respective cars
>and then all the knowing gearheads clapped
Gearheads are all rich kids pretending to be poor even though they have the most expensive hobby possible. Either that or they're actually poor and everything they work on is 25+ years old and takes 3 years to even get it in a drivable state
>either that or they're actually poor and everything they work on is 25+ years old and takes 3 years to even get it in a drivable state
Haha yeah imagine having a project car sitting in your driveway for two years because you're too bent out of shape from work to do anything when you're home haha.
I regret buying my mustang
I love my camaro, you should love your RWD american beast too.
He worked from an early age and financed his hobby completely on his own. The car is an Opel Kadett E but it's just the chassis and interior that remained original for the gramps car sleeper effect.
Just search for Weißer Kadett Turbo and see for yourself. There are plenty of videos online.
It’s pretty well known that Supras are terrible 1/4m cars aka 800hp still running 12s XDXD get gud
>you're not buying performance, you're buying leather seats and prestige.
you're buying a package that (results may vary) attempts to excel in ALL areas.
a Opel Kadett that some clown has invest 10X the original value into making fast in a straight line is going to be unreliable, ugly, sound bad, won't handle, will repel b***hes etc.....
When you look at all the ways it ISN'T better than a supercar, the supercar starts to look like a lot more value than an 80k kadett shaped moneypit
Lol. Supercars are the iPhones of the car world. Essentially, you're an iToddler content with being cucked in the manufacturer's walled garden.
Stock supras weren't that much slower than whatever ferrari was putting out at the time. All you needed was a slightly bigger turbo and some boost to make big power with the 2Jz.
I raced a 10 second quarter mile supra at a drag strip in like 2004 when i was a wannabe street racer.
Yes, there was a brief window where only really nice cars looked like this. Before people realized you can just add decals and a body kit to a shitbox.
>Yes, there was a brief window where only really nice cars looked like this.
That clown car literally was never considered nice.
This is a "nice" tuner circa 2000
Also the 1GZ-FE Top Secret Supra with the Century engine
> Before people realized you can just add decals and a body kit to a shitbox.
This movie was made for those people. You gotta remember the context of when F&F came out, it was a movie for teenagers. Those teenagers got cheap ass shitboxes as their first car, and used their 16th birthday money to put on a fart can, a Walmart subwoofer in the trunk, and some undercarraige LEDs.
>1999
>LEDs
Back in those days, you got ZERO pussy unless you were running at least 3 Civics with spoons.
It’s a powerful car with tuning options but they just riced it out. They should have left it clean like how the later cars were. The car sells itself.
you gotta be mexican to truly appreciate the fast&furious franchise
simon ese, I miss seeing riced out 90s/early 00s Civics. I never see the old ones, I only see the bug mobile ugly ass newer editions.
Supra will forever be cool
It's a movie made for 11 year old boys.
As an 11 year old boy at the time I still thought all that shit looked gay as shit
lol homo
Aww are you mad because I insulted your gay-ass movie?
you were always a homosexual
It's important to remember that car bros are by far the most annoying people in the world.
Woman spotted
walker and diesels stunt doubles sure as shit look nothing like their respective actor
ENTER
thread should've ended here, nothing will ever top the GT-R
Overrated trash, r33 and r32 are way better.
What happened to tuner culture
its more about the engine. it was so overbuilt you could tune it up to 1000+ horsepower. also that car was very rare in the US because it never passed the required safety tests to be street legal. the import company said to the regulator they will do it but actually never did and they got away with it for a few months. at some point the government banned the import
Ackshually it was the nissan r34 gtr which didn't get type approved and had the import scandal bullshit. A lot of them got crushed by the government. The Supra had a USDM model.
>R34s and Supras don’t pass emissions standards
>somehow gas guzzling SUVs do
I’ve never understood this
someone has to keep those UAW jobs here
yeah but that doesn't mean shit anymore because anything thats over +25 years can be considered an "antique" and they don't require passing emissions tests
https://helpspanish.cbp.gov/s/article/Article-278?language=en_US
it's like Carl's car from ATHF
heres what it looked like after paul walker got his hands on it
SOVL
This inflated the Poopra prices in the market to profoundly moronic levels
Before the tofu tax there was this
Why do we let car dorks decide anything? They're inevitably the most boring people on the planet. I'm literally sitting here, letting James May tell me what "cool" is, LMAO.
What sort of CUV do you drive?
I drive the car in the OP image. That's me actually.
it has nothing to do with us, and everything to do with what models aftermarket parts are made for
the most popular one is a Honda Civic, so at least they didn't go with that
Peak soul, innit bruv
The tribal tattoo decals are a nice touch
I played NFS Underground when I was a kid so I don't give a shit WHAT you virgins say, this shit will always be cool as frick to me.
>want to get a riced out meme car(riced out mitsubishi, skyline, nissan 240sx, etc etc)
>have more than enough to get one
>realize will get nothing but unwanted attention all the time by police and people asking me about the car
>zoomers will try and race me
>people will stare at the car when driving around
>now driving npc grey 2011 corolla that just blends in with everything else
i suffer
>zoomers will try and race me
Zoomers will never have the money to take up car tuning. Parts are expensive as frick, and that's before the actual time and mechanic expenses (you think you're a mechanic until you see some shit you've never seen before and need to make calls)
People you should worry about are the v6/v8 american muscle boomers
I fricking hate boomers so much. They go out and overpay for all the semi-affordable fast cars and inflate the price so nobody under 65 can afford them just to go 5 under the speed limit 4 lanes over to the left on the highway. Thank god basketball people are carjacking all the chargers and challengers they can get their hands on, which is helping to keep the prices down at least a little bit since even boomers don't want to spend $50k on a car just for it to get stolen a week later
Every Corvette I see is being driven by a 60+ year old guy. What happened?
Zoomers can't afford cars and millenials all drive SUVs
You're moronic if you actually believe this, zoomers are the ones buying up s13s and civics because ebin social media personality told them to. It's the reason why you can't find a clean miata for a reasonable price.
>all that attention
>no, i dun want it!
what are you? an incel or something?
we have cultural homosexuals in 2023 who think this shit is still considered cool
they even put shitty anime girl decals all over it
That's called Itasha and is a completely different scene than the 2000s sex-spec era
You wouldn't get it.
It IS a cool car, go ahead and post a Tesla in here so I can call you a stupid homosexual. I'll frick your
being a Car Guy has always been cringe. i hope everyone who is earnestly entertained by their car making loud noise gets t boned by a 16 wheeler.
more than you could decorate, pal!
all these granny shifters
Yeah, it looks pretty cool. Still prefer the green eclipse, but this is good too, besides the ridiculously large spoiler.
Was this supposed to be a cool car in 1978? It looks like a bad joke.
I have stock 2015 Dodge Challenger SXT with 127,000 miles. Ask me anything.
are you black?
i want to have sex with rx-7
Are you the white colored V6 charger poster from Cinemaphile??
a Supra is a quintessential ricer car
so yes, it was fricking awesome at the time
the RX7 was better tho
>that shitty rotary engine that has never worked properly
>better
2 problems with RX-7 owners who don't know how to drive RX-7s
1. short shifting will frick up your rx-7 unlike other cars, and because cheapos don't wanna waste gas, they shift at 3500 instead of at least 5500. you can't drive it like a normal car
2. you need to add 2-stroke oil whenever you fill up
oh, and another thing, you basically need to rebuild the engine every oil change too
Isnt short shifting not a problem as long as you take it up to redline a few times during driving? The issue is carbon buildup right?
>rebuild the engine every oil change too
false
shut the frick up
supra was fricking kino (and still is)
kys zoomer
it was supposed to be a show of his skill that he beat an RX-7 with a fricking Supra
but I get that this nuance is lost on millenial and zommer "men" so yes the color looks a bit silly I guess
For me it is she
rice you say?
It looks like somebody's nightmare.
the fast and the furious cars looked silly even back then with those silly decals
So many boring morons who dont understand the defintion of "rice." Rice means you have COSMETIC MODS but your car isnt actually fast. The OP Supra is built twin turbo 2JZ with forged internals and huge garrett turbos that was probably making 700hp even back then. The only thing out of style about the car are the decals. That's an APR carbon fiber wing (still awesome). Frick off back to your midsize SUVs.
