lifted isnt all about offroading. i lifted so i dont have to climb out of my truck.

their all gay. dont even have to watch the video.

if its FWD, its as gay as a dude in a soccer mom van.

1: Dodge Neon ~ What a POS
2: Kia Rio ~ major pile
3: Dodge ram ~ constant front end problems and shotty quality
4: Ford fiesta ~ discrace to the ford name
5: Anything fwd thats modified past simple looks. if you boost a fwd, your a duche bag.

nascar, rwd. dragster, rwd. lemans, rwd. notice how ferrari, lambo, maserati, porsche, corvette, austin martin, bugatti, mustang, camaro, charger, challenger. all RWD. my neighbours belt driven leafblower? (cobalt) FWD...

favorite ones are the fwd with a spoiler, because you need rear downforce on free spinning wheels.

That's the sole reason you lifted?

As far as the video, it was okay. Boost is great, and a fast car I can appreciate. Aside from being lowered, the Civic was stock looking.

FWD vs RWD...cars are cars, despite the drivetrain. Truth is, FWD cars handle very well, and make good use of space. Not everything needs a driveshaft and a V8. At the autocross events, I see plenty of FWD vehicles that make great times, and rival some of the best RWD.

You can argue that FWD have understeer, and they don't transfer weight as well. You can also try to argue that a wing on a FWD car is silly, when in truth, they really do make a difference. Change the spoiler angle and you'll notice how well the rear will break loose in a hairpin turn.

BUT, I wholeheartedly agree that the Ricer plastered with graphics with the hugeass aluminum wing with drywall screws needs to be shot with a 0.50 cal.

Also, if you go with THAT logic that someone pointed out, a truck is not going to handle great, and a 2.3L 4 cylinder Ranger is almost not worth having if you are not hauling stuff all the time. Rangers came with a turbo, and diesels come with a turbo. Are you saying a 7.3L turbo-diesel is not cool, and torquey as Hell?

Boosting a FWD is good, too. It pushes the limits of a design, and gives you driving pleasure. Isn't that why we are all on this site in the first place?

I've looked at this thread a few times and, try as I might, I have a hard time thinking of five cars that I truly did not like...

the Aztek was certainly on the tip of my tongue...and those "THINGS" by VW that just never took off...the Fart 4 Two could be a mini gas chamber but they scare me with their stubby wheelbase...especially on a slppery highway in winter...

I try to avoid 'stereotyping' people by their vehicles (or choice of clothes, pets, or sexual preference)...and I have to admit that some vehicles I would never drive on a regular basis and anything big or small that has a key ring horn/lock drives me batty...

I cannot figure out why people cannot simply lock their doors like we did for decades without flipping their key fob over their shoulder and shooting it so that it chirps in recognition of their parting as if it is saying "ta ta lovey"...be here when you get back...

closest thing I've come to a rant in a long time...but those F*ers really annoy me...

I always had manual locks. With the new truck, I like the auto unlock as I'm walking up to my truck. It's convenient.

Now, as I'm leaving, I DO chirp my truck a couple times. The main reason I do this is to alert others that I have a loudass alarm. I live in a bad neighborhood inside of Houston.

Looks like there is a bit if ignorance (lack of knowledge) lurking around in this post. And a turbo Cobalt does 0-60 in around 5.5 seconds, with the older supercharged version slightky slower

1) v6 mustang/camaro/challanger ect... (why not buy real deal, thats like buying a 44 mag and havin it only shoot low velocity 22's)

I would have completely agreed up until the recent crop of 2011 300+hp V6 mustang/camaro/challanger. Now I only partially agree, but would still prefer the V8 couterparts

I don't care for FWD vehicles either. But to each their own.

That's understandable...I live in a quiet little village (that has the tallest idiot...lol) and I'm usually parked in the back by the park where it is nice, quiet, serene eeeevaaan (snagglepuss)...until about five of these locals park their SUV's and chirp their horns as they waddle the fifty feet to the entrance...

Most times I could care less...but when I'm relaxing and reading my book...grrrrrrrr...

But you know...I have an advantage that I hadn't been using...I can turn my ears completely off...

Hyondotan (Hyundai,Honda,Toyota,Nissan) Which is which? They all look the same now. W/O a badge you can't tell them apart.

1) Hybrids
2) European cars
3) Mopars
4) Minivans
5) Korean cars

I too will stand up for FWD cars. Just as long as they aren't riced out and look like somebody went to Auto Zone and bought every ricer accessory there to put on. Factory built FWD cars like Cobalt SS, Saturn Ion Redline, Ford Focus SVT, etc are what I consider nice. Civics, Celicas, DSMs, etc are nice too, just as long as they are tastefully modified. That means no stupid body kits, no huge rims, etc.

2) European cars? You are willing to give up the Aston Martin DB9, Lamborghini Reventon, Ferrari Italia, BMW M5, or even the 1960's VW Bug ("The People's Car" still one of the more popular cars worldwide)?

 

[mitzutuner]

1) Honda Civics- there are a few, and I do mean a VERY few that are nice, others are just riced out.

2) Chevy S10- They are the Honda's of the Mini Truck world

3) Dodge Neon Srt4- They are nothing but a factory modified neon that all the fan-boys think is the best/fastest car on earth when they know nothing about the car.

4) Electric Cars- They cant be driven long distances.. and they price you pay for one and then the upkeep on the batteries is far more than most people think.. and it isn't that much better for the environment like they are "suppose" to be

5) *factory restored 64 1/2-67 mustangs*- Im sure this will strike a cord with alot of people... but heres the reason.. go to a car show, especially classic shows, and all you see is a line of mustangs that all look identical. Which is fine every now and then but when none of them have any personality at all it gets boring looking at them. Im the type that thinks your car is an extension of yourself and when all you have is a factory restored car, then it seems like you fall into the mainstream and do what everyone around you is doing because too afraid of being different or whatever.. anyway thats enough on that rant...

That is a general statement that is not exactly true. I would say that hyundai is setting itself apart from the others with some of it's models (Sonata, Genisis Coupe, Velocitor, Elantra) Also don't see many people confusing the 370Z for anything else.

Those are alright. I should of stated mainly newer Volkswagens and Mercedes-Benz (especially the newer ones, those are a PITA to do an oil change on, believe me). I'm not going to knock the exotics because I will probably never get to work on one or drive one.

ummmm... rangers didn't come with a turbo.
