What is your preffered sports car style?

Are you a muscle man, A rice boy? What type of cars do you think are superior? (overall, in terms of performance, style, fun)

Exclude "race cars" like F1, CART, IRL, Nascar, etc

I'm interested to see if GT3 has a proportional variety to interest
 
My fav would have to be Grand Touring cars like the BMW 300 series or the Audi A4 for example. Even the Nissan Maxima is a cool car. I like thier power while still being a "family" car.
 
Rice-boy Front Wheel Drive (Civics, Eclipse, Neon, etc)
Rice-boy RWD or AWD (Supra, 3000GT VR-4, RX-7)
Eurotrash Touring (M3, E55, Vantage, etc)

I don't even know where to begin...:mad:



I hate ignorance...
 
I don't consider myself a ricer, but the clear corners on my car might be considered "ricey" by some...

I was just shocked that he called Supras, Rx-7's and some of those others "rice-boy" cars...
 
i don't like the rice rockets that have all looks but nothing under the hood to back it up.

I have a 99 Acura 3.2TL and i put some mods in it to back up wings west body kit i have on it. I have pics if any of u want em' just msg me. The Mugen headers i have with comptech exhaust kicks some sweeeeeeeeet ass!!

and one more thing....

euro"trash"?????????????
 
a quick explanation.

I used the term eurotrash because in my experience drivers of european cars are snobby bastards. (but I voted for them because they make SWEET CARS)

IMHO, 18in. wheels, Clear Corners, and a K&N Filter on an S2000 DOES in fact make you a rice boy. A rice boy with somewhat good taste in automobiles (S2000s rock) but a ricer nonetheless.

Supras and RX-7s are DEFINITELY ricemobiles. (did you see fast and the furious? You couldnt get any more stickers on those suckers) They are just expensive rice-rockets. The majority of riceboys cant afford an RX-7 or a Supra, or even your S2000. They all want to move up to these cars though.

Let me restate. I don't use "rice-boy" derogatively. The new generation of street rodders really have some talent in tuning and customizing cars, but they are made to look bad by the jokers that put "type-R" stickers on their Geo storm, and "turbo" badges on otherwise stock dodge neons. I don't call these guys ricers, I call them losers.

Looking good is one thing, going fast is another, but LOOKING FAST is insulting to everyboy around them. These retards have 6 exhaust pipes and 47 headlights that just make them look stupid. I have no problem with people wanting customized cars, but I think some basic rules of good taste should be applied.

1) Stickers are a no-no, ESPECIALLY those that refer to performance parts THAT YOU DONT HAVE
2) Spoilers should not exceed the height of the roof of the car, nor have a larger surface area than 1/2 the trunk lid (I swear I saw a 82 civic with a porsche whale tail 2 days ago)
3) Dont try to fake a different trim level than you have. (there are NO TYPE R HONDAS SOLD IN THE US)
4) Exhaust pipes should be no larger in diameter than can fit under your bumber without cutting it, or scraping the ground
5) The owner must have at LEAST a general understanding of what his stickers are saying. (hint: there are NO CARS that are "powered by ACURA" anywhere")
 
I agree with the above statement.
I just recently added some mods to my car and if you were to look at it from the outside, you would figure it to be stock. But its not.
I prefer the sleeper look. Not a lot of flash, just a lot of performance.
Later.
BTW, its ironic that I prefer to use the Japanese cars when racing the gt2/3 games.
Now if they had a Cavalier Z24 in the list, that would be my favorite.

It's the car in my avatar. Go to the CAR OF THE WEEK/PHOTO OF THE DAY forum, and look for the thread I started. It contains 2 pics.
 
It was a close call, but wehn it comes down too it Its a tie. I voted for american muscle, because a benz was put in the same sentence as the M3
 
Wow, :eek: now this is a hard poll.... How am I suppose to chose... I love them all... :lol:

I have to go with my dream car through... The Dodge Viper.... I swear I will own one... Just like I swore I would sit in one... (check that off) Then drive one (check that off) now its time to own one. :D
