giantsnyy Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 One phrase: There is no replacement for displacement.Yeah, you can boost those 2JZ-GTEs and RB26DETTs to over 1000HP, but you still won't reach 253mph. Even then, those i6s won't last long with that much boost, requiring you to rebuild the engine every once in a while. Until recently, I would agree, but Toyota finally got some sense smacked into them with the upcoming FT86 and LF-A. Why would you put an RB26 into a supra? That's a nissan motor. and honestly... it's all about the 4AG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rathefeare Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 oh and you say he is a bad drive. I bet you any thing he drives better then ANYONE hereI some how doubt any of us have a Enzo and Buggati and who knows what else. and are one of the biggest auto salvagers in the world And you would be patently wrong. I know two of us that have experience at the grassroots level of racing and a third that makes his living test driving cars that frequent this board. Also anyone who has never missed the road by ten feet go ahead and raise your hand. You are all better drivers than this guy. I would put the smart money on EVERYONE here driving better than him. I doubt any of us have a 1887 navy revolver either, but I know pointing it loaded at my head is a bad idea. So he owns a Buggati, that makes him rich. It has no impact on his driving ability. This person simply allowed his balls to exceed his skill. On a closed race course that would make him very unpopular. On the open road it makes him dumb and is simply inexcusable reckless behavior.

I saw it was he was distracted by a pelician flying in the air. I thought he had seen it on the road and crash trying to avoid it. I dont even get that distracted and I dont have my license yet.

Most of the time those who own such vehicles are probably some rich idiots who have no idea about cars. Haven't you ever seen a Ferrari on the road trying to find 3rd gear? As for the pelican I too would have tried to avoid collision (you never think that thinks can be worse, you see the obstacle hit the brakes and try to avoid it). I am happy that the veyron died and not the pelican... if he has one he can afford another one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revvo Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 it is not the same... at ALL ... blablabla obvious stuff What did I say in my post? The issue is not the car. The issue is the driver wasn't driving safely. A smart driver must use his judgment to drive at the safest speed possible with the vehicle he's driving, regardless of what the vehicle is. They all operate in the same way. It's obvious they handle differently compared to FWD econoboxes, but that's where the driver's ability and thinking comes in. If you drive safely, you won't crash. I can't see why and how any of you would argue that sentence. oh and you say he is a bad drive. I bet you any thing he drives better then ANYONE hereI some how doubt any of us have a Enzo and Buggati and who knows what else. and are one of the biggest auto salvagers in the world lol... Because being rich and being able to afford expensive cars automatically improves your driving skills... Why would you put an RB26 into a supra?That's a nissan motor. and honestly... it's all about the 4AG. Did I say that? What I meant was that you can push straight 6 engines as much as you want up to like 1000hp (and I love i6 engines), but there's no replacement for displacement. You can argue as much as you want on the benefits of forced induction (like reaching 1000hp), but displacement is what ultimately wins and why the Bugatti's 1000hp w16 will beat any 1000hp i6.

gian Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 lol, wtf is so weird about a pelican that you should look at him when driving, for god's sake :p revvo I challenge you to take on my BMW P84/5 with a Bugatti W16 :D (yeah I know we will only be able to do this a few times before my vehicle is only good for recycling) I have only been in a Z4M and indeed the I6 will "send shiver's down your spine".

uniacidz Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 The colour is crap, looks pathetic. Too bad was painted onto the car but a desired death because of it into the lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
