FASTEST STREET CAR IN THE WORLD! Larry Larson runs 6.95 @ 209 on Drag Week!!! - YouTube

street legal v8 now do I win? lol

Very impressive, BUT that has an auto in it Plus, there's no way that's street legal. It's tubbed... and just look at it, lol. That skyline I showed before could be driven on an Aussie road and yeah it would get picked on, but it wouldn't stick out anymore than your average skyline.

Check this one out with a 6 speed manual running an 8.

Fastest Toyota Supra in the world (Street Legal 8 sec) Supra from Hell - YouTube

The point I'm trying to make is, for an every day street car, imports are just as fast as commodores and falcons in a straight line, but they handle so much better on a track. No one can dispute that.

I like muscle, I have an XC falcon at the moment that I'm building. I still have a brain and recognise that performance is more than going quick in a straight line (which an import can most definitely do anyway).

lol so now it has to manual, I'm over it you win, just remember v8s will always be quicker in a straight line ask my mate John Zaippa lol and yes your rice burners may be a quicker around a track but it will always come down to the driver.. I've seen enough rice burner clips for one day I will leave on a v8 burnout note lol.

Who cares about the 1/4 mile man? Seriously. The cars that get down to sub 9 second passes are basically useless anyway, no matter what sort of engine they have in them.

I just said I have an XC falcon that me and a mate are putting a 351 in, so I dunno why you're arguing. It's the truth.

That car you posted isn't street legal (maybe in oklahoma or wherever the hell it came from a copper wouldn't pick on it) but in Australia it wouldn't get a click down the street before being towed to the pits.

Imports - JUST as fast as street going V8's and they handle better. There's no arguing it.


Umad bro's?

But it's not "crap", you're showing your immaturity by dissing it all the time. I have said that I like both, I just know which performs better. I have a muscle car project, I still know what is a better car for performance.

[Grogshla]

My favourite jap cars are:

mkIV supra TT, R32 GTR, Rx7 S8, S15 and DC2r

Nice choices, not sure about the DC2r, though

[Grogshla]

thanks mate yeah hehehe only a little na 1.8 but I think they are great for what they are and even though not as fast as the others give a different driving experience.
I wish I was super rich so I could stash a few of these sorta cars out in a shed and take them out once a week.

Have one for each day Nah, I don't mind the small honda NA engines, they rev hard. My mate had a CRX with an integra B18 in it, it was pretty crazy for what it was. I just don't like the FWD aspect. I love S2K's, they're sick.

I used to own mazdas and datsuns. Built them up from the ground. Too many to list. My last car was a S4 13BT Rx7 with a T04z. Made 315rwkw on 1bar boost. Sold it to fund my current house. Mates still have some nice rides. Some mates also drift some nice S chassis nissans and the occasional jzx100. I'm fair over fast cars now. Wasted so much cash. Reicently bought a Jeep Cherokee Xj. Best thing I ever did. Love 4x4. Still wouldnt mind a mint r100 or rx2 in the shed. One day.

It is a coupe, and it was hard to find one that hadn't been thrashed but I finally did, it was owned by An old bloke who only drove it on weekends, I took my mechanic with me and he said it was top notch, oh and it's manual.. I wouldn't have it any other way!

I love v8's, I've grown up around them, my dad is a huge v8 enthusiast.. He refuses to drive anything else... But I'm just really into drifting (not in a hoon way. on the track) and if I could afford a Silvia I would of gone with that, but for my price range I believe the r33 was my best bet.. Glad to see some other car enthusiasts regardless of if u like v8's or turbos!

JAS101 won't like it because it's japanese and doesn't have 8 cylinders and a blower.

The usual battle of greyhounds vs racehorses always boggles the mind

/x\ pride. Another old school Ausrotor freak. I miss the old days when forums weren't full of know all ****ers.

Had the best time going to Jambo. Made the commute up from Adelaide to spectate about 4 times. Those PR cars when they came over were mad!!
