Japanese sportscars:
Mitsubishi EVO VIII MR FQ330

It's a Domestic.......

Admittedly, the Viper is flawed, but no one can accuse it of being soul-less. Sure, a Skyline might get you around a corner faster, but I'd imagine the Viper is just as fun.

I like the way you think.

well it's not really a dodge. this guy, John Hennessy, tunes vipers. he completely replaces the engine and everything. boosts them from 450hp to over 1000hp! he even has his own areodynamic kit for the vipers, better suspension, new brakes.. he basically turns them into a road-legal race car.

they're commonly known as Viper Venoms, but i know them as Hennessy 1000TTs they're the most reliable and fastest vipers produced.

If the Viper were smaller, but performed the same, I might give it a chance.

It's f__cking huge, but performs like crap. A V10 that tops out at 190?

IMO The older vipers are way nicer, same with the old hennessey

I mentioned third generation RX-7 as my favorite car, but I didn't mention that I wouldn't keep it stock.

Something like this.

3 rotor transplant from a 20B Cosmo, twinturbo setup, wide bodykit (not like that one, though) and a nice carbon fibre spoiler. Not sure on wheels or rubber, though. Most likely a dark blue gloss paint job with black decals here and there. Pretty much something like my Most Wanted career car, which with any luck, I'll get posted in the gallery soon.

If I had a car, it'd be cmpletely black with a red interior.

Those foglights ruin the Viper.

[Alice] · Post by **[Alice]** » 17 Apr 2006, 23:27

I'm thinking my FD would have red Bride racing seats and green Takata 4-point harnesses. A MOMO steering wheel would be nice, as well. The rest of the interior would most likely be the stock black interior of most 93-99 RX-7s. Look at the one I linked to. Most of the dash and interior area are stock, and I kinda like the humble feel it gives. Also, I'd install a pretty mean roll cage. The added weight would be worth it, and I'd definitely feel that way in the event some idiot rammed into my driver's side door at an intersection.

No, I wouldn't street race it. But it would be my daily driver and weekend (racetrack) warrior.

All that is a waste of money if your car doesn't see any action. Unless you're a complete n00b, you probably won't flip your car over. Get Anti-Sway bars in the suspension.

My dad says he'll get me a really nice car (BMW M3 Coupe) if I get into a good college (Stony Brook?), so I'll be doing some Wangan in it.

[Alice] · Post by **[Alice]** » 17 Apr 2006, 23:54

As I said, it'll see racing on the weekends. AT A TRACK.

I don't advocate street racing in real life, but I won't sit here and preach how none of you should do it. Also, even if it is noobish to flip your car, you never know what can happen. Look at Ayrton Senna. Best F1 driver in history. Death by metal shrapnel through his skull during a crash.

Toshiro · Post by **Toshiro** » 18 Apr 2006, 00:52

I was kidding about the Wangan part.

You live near a track? Lucky....

[Alice] · Post by **[Alice]** » 18 Apr 2006, 00:57

Lebanon Raceway is a few hours away, but I love long road trips. There are a few others in random directions from where I live, all pretty far drives.

Also, sorry if I seemed like I was snapping at you. Not my intention.

If I had some way to make sure no innocent people were ever ever hurt by street racing, you can bet your @$$ I'd be planning a trip to japan for some midnight wangan action.

Toshiro · Post by **Toshiro** » 18 Apr 2006, 01:05

Go to Germany for that. Autobahn.

[Alice] · Post by **[Alice]** » 18 Apr 2006, 01:07

Very true. I have a friend in the military, stationed at Ramstein Airbase in Germany. He hits the 'Ring twice a month and has been on the Autobahn countless times.

Talk about envy.

Toshiro · Post by **Toshiro** » 18 Apr 2006, 01:13

Real envy: My friend's mom might buy a 1992 Honda NSX, or 2005 Mazda Miata.

F|_|CK!!!!!

My favorite car is the Ford Mustang GT (wow, really?)
My dad has one with lots of modifications like lowered, 19" rims, he's about to put on a supercharger.
Ok, now for the story:
We were driving along a big curvy road right after we got it lowered, and we were next to a pickup truck so we couldn't see that we just passed a cop going 20 mph over the speed limit. We looked back and saw lights flashing and heard WEEEEE-OOOOOOOO, so we sped up and ducked into a shopping center, and then parked in a shady area behind Quiznos. We were hungry anyway so we went inside Quiznos to have a snack. My dad said bleh, this cookie taste bad, and I said SERVES YOU RIGHT!

LOL those are 2 of the MOST DIFFIRENT cars the only thing they cot in common is that they are build in JAPAN and that is basicly it.

Have to say I never seen a MOM in a NSX would be funny, cause the NSX is everything BUT a daily driver.
in the MX5 you can take some lugage and comfortably take someone with you.
The NSX is a thoroughbreed race car. not a soccermon mobile

Hecubus · Post by **Hecubus** » 18 Apr 2006, 08:27

It's not that weird, the NSX is the Honda Accord of supercars, using one daily isn't entirely out of the question (no more so than a Miata).

Toshiro · Post by **Toshiro** » 18 Apr 2006, 15:11

Sorry, I forgot to mention it's the MazdaSpeed version.

T.T

Post by **TheStig** » 20 Apr 2006, 17:31

I still find it a weird comparison, and where there ever Honda NSX's sold in the US, aren't they Acura only?

My friend lives in Canada.
