wat is this car?

The Calibra 4X4 turbo isnt a piece of shiznit.

The Celica looks fake to me. I cant see it that someone would remove the GT-Four bonnet and replace it with that of a lower spec ST205.

my thoughts exactly....

so I guess It's a normal Celica T-20.... like a 1.8....

probably.

I reckon that the second car is a Ford, maybe a falcon or a mustang. Look at the grille, it looks like there used to be a Ford badge there.

And MarkInIreland is right, Calibras are shiznit.

i think the calibra is a good looking car

boganbusman · Post by **boganbusman** » 19 Sep 2004, 04:08

OK, it looks alright, but it's a crap car.

Grez~Supra_RZ-S · Post by **Grez~Supra_RZ-S** » 19 Sep 2004, 04:19

Yes its a crap car, thats why its the most commonly stolen vehicle in the United Kingdom. Christ some people know nothing.

Edit: Its so much of a crap car, that for less than 5k, I can have a 204bhp, 152mph car that will do 60 in 6.4 seconds. What a crap car that is...

I was refering to the whole car in general. The build quality is terrible, and the interior is cheap and plasticky. The ride quality isn't great, either.
My uncle has one, and he hates it. He's going to get an Astra or Vectra.

Grez~Supra_RZ-S · Post by **Grez~Supra_RZ-S** » 19 Sep 2004, 12:34

I actually like the handling and the ride quality is no different from any other entry level sports car. I agree on the interior, but to be fair, look at the age of the car. A Nissan 240SX has a much worse interior, but no-one calls it crap because of it. Besides, the 4X4 Turbo came with full leather trim.

I think you got balls to say something about a european car's interior styling... when YOU DRIVE a FORD.... cause American cars HAVE the WORSE Styling ever it is all made out of Plastic

flyby · Post by **flyby** » 19 Sep 2004, 18:01

+ no handling

Post by **TheStig** » 19 Sep 2004, 18:05

yeah don't even get me started on that one

MarkInIreland · Post by **MarkInIreland** » 19 Sep 2004, 18:42

Im glad someone agrees that the calibra is a pile of shiznit because it is!
I dont think its a nice lookin car at all, but i suppose everyones tastes cant be the same.

And the reason its the most commonly stole car is its probably the most easy to break into.

Dirt Dirt Dirt!!!! I wouldnt like to sit in that thing at 152mph would be a scary experiance

Post by **TheStig** » 19 Sep 2004, 18:43

I'm not saying I like it....

Grez~Supra_RZ-S · Post by **Grez~Supra_RZ-S** » 19 Sep 2004, 22:59

I am. People who say its a piece of crap with no valid reason are a) ignorant or b) idiots. Which are you?

fair enough, you dont like the styling. Opinions are hard to explain, and every one is valid. But its still not a good enough reason to say its crap. I dont like the styling of any American car, ever. But Id gladly take a Fox body mustang to the drag strip.

Theyre not easy to break into, no car is nowadays. If you look in the autotrader, most are fitted with immobilisers or CAT1 alarms.

By the way, the 152mph is limited, meaning its quite safe to push it that far.

MarkInIreland · Post by **MarkInIreland** » 20 Sep 2004, 01:10

ahhhh dont get so emotional about a crap car lol

Grez~Supra_RZ-S · Post by **Grez~Supra_RZ-S** » 20 Sep 2004, 02:26

Pipe down booboo.

boganbusman · Post by **boganbusman** » 20 Sep 2004, 03:11

OK, I agree, American Fords are cheap and shiznit but in Australia its a whole different story. Aussie built (and designed) Fords are good enough to match any Euro car. They look great, they ride and handle like Mercs and they have great interiors. And plenty of power too.
Go to ford.com.au and check it out. And also go to fpv.com.au to see the high performance models.

Grez~Supra_RZ-S · Post by **Grez~Supra_RZ-S** » 20 Sep 2004, 03:18

So Ford are better in Australia than in their home country? Doubtful.

If anything, we have the best Fords, and its nothing directly to do with ford. Cosworth

boganbusman · Post by **boganbusman** » 20 Sep 2004, 03:23

Did u look at the websites?

Grez~Supra_RZ-S · Post by **Grez~Supra_RZ-S** » 20 Sep 2004, 03:26

Yes, why? There was nothing of great significance there.

boganbusman · Post by **boganbusman** » 20 Sep 2004, 03:30

don't u think that Australian Fords are better than American ones?
I reckon the yanks would faint from embarrasment if they knew how good we have it here.
But I do like Cosworths. Especially the Sierra RS500.

Grez~Supra_RZ-S · Post by **Grez~Supra_RZ-S** » 20 Sep 2004, 04:45

I have to admit, I like the Ford Falcon. But I know how cheap it is to get a Fox body into the sub 10s, so Id have to disagree with you there mate, sorry

MarkInIreland · Post by **MarkInIreland** » 20 Sep 2004, 15:05

I must admitt I am a fan of the American F150 Pick-ups, nothin shiznit about them. My brother had the Harley Version.
I cant think of a better looking pick-up made by anyone.

boganbusman · Post by **boganbusman** » 21 Sep 2004, 02:55

Yes, ur right.
The F-series trucks are an exeption. We get them here in Aus.
