Talking Boy racers? Pah...havent got a clue...

You see them everyday..the cars with after factory mods...huge spoilers that could be used as naval missle turret guides...really unclean nasty looking things that only make a $500 car look more like a $500 car. It like putting giant neon signs and arrows on it saying

LOOK! CHEEP MODDED CAR THAT DOES 60MPH!! I R0X0RZ Y0U4 B0XORZ L0L55!!!11

So heres the standard form now on. Those who can afford all those modification can at least afford some fiberglass and some paint. Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the before and after effect of fibreglass:


Before:


After:

Yea Nev...this is as old and worn out as can get. Enough with dissing the ricers already. Get in your little mini and just be happy with what you have. Let others be happy with whatever they got, or whatever they do to the things they have.

That NSX is faster than my Probe GT, and my Probe GT 0wns your Mini. Even my 17-sec. Probe LX 0wns your Mini.

Actually, just for the record, should I say it guys?

My Schwinn Sting-Ray is faster than your Mini

Saw it on ProbeTalk.com. Probably the most fuel-efficient Ferrari out there....

BTW the NSX is nothing to laugh at, it is one of the most refined and sophisticated sports cars out there, it's a perfect balance between speed and handling and affordability.

And a twin-turbo NSX, oh snap.....

Bah, screw the NSX. I'd rather have one of these for half the price.

The NSX is still on my top three sports cars list.

The other two are the McLaren F1 and the Probe GT

"factory" mods arent bad if you use them in a different way than intended. Like my bro works at Harmon Becker a huge car stereo company and he gets "factory" speakers but then puts them into cars in much better ways that most people would (AKA sub in the trunk with a wood box) He is building a home theatre with sixteen 6" x 9" subs (well thats the current project)

I guess im saying that factory mods arent bad if they are used in mod-eration (pun ) or in a creative fasion.

Although when you cast image, luxury and sex appeal to the wind in favor of speed you get a hell of a sleeper

The car costs 40k yes, the contract on one costs closer to 50k not including the before mentioned 40k price tag. If you want a Lotus expect to pay 100k in reality.
