My friend like imports, how to tell him he's smoking crack

[Deoxyribonucleicvitriol]

Basically... He is into modding imports, and I can't argue with the fact that the more expensive ones do match or beat the horsepower of the camaro stock, so I told him that those cars look like crap and ours are hot.

Other than the fact that those cars look like poo, what is the advantage to our cars? (Just got me thinking a bit [img]tongue.gif[/img] A lil' arguin material)

Yeah, so he's smokin crack to think those look cool.

REAR WHEEL DRIVE plus hey... It's American. How can you argue?

Wait, you can't argue with the fact that the MORE EXPENSIVE ones match/beat the horsepower of a STOCK CAMARO?

eh, let him be a dumbass. ;)

i have a friend that thinks pontiac bonnevilles are the best cars ever made. he has an old one. like a '92 or '93 or something like that. the only mods on it are a crooked APC sticker and an exhaust tip on his stock exhaust :rolleyes: . i just let it slide. i've told him before that the car is a piece of **** and it's gay to think it's so fast and everything, but hey... he likes it and he's proud of it so whatever. crackheads.

The only imports I would drive are 95Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo,94 Supra TT,TTSkyLine R34,90's mazda Rx7 TT,other then that, nothing!

Eh, everytime I catch my friends brother looking at imports or trying to act like he knows about cars I just tell him he's a ****ing moron. [img]graemlins/rofl.gif[/img] He thinks a 16.8 is fast. [img]graemlins/burnout.gif[/img]

To each his own.

I'd offer him a ride to show him his likings are incorrect. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Besides a couple cars from japan the only other good imports are italian or german ;)

Just walk up to him and be like "you are on crack." Thats a good way to tell him that he is on crack for liking imports.

ROFL, good method there pewter.

I had a 30 minute discussion with him earlier.

He bought a Sentra... NEW OFF THE LOT WTHECK?!?! for 17 grand. He started telling me about his financing I was like "dude, whatever they did, you got ripped"
165hp with 175 torque with 2.5L 4-cyclinder

***I tell him for just about 15-16 grand (If I don't self-install) I can have a full intake-exhaust V6 turbocherged with well over 300 HP and that he isn't getting any where near 300 HP without doing serious modding.***

Him: "for 10k of mods I can get 300 HP"
Me: "For 27k I can buy a V8 LS1, mod it to all heck, have 500 HP and still have money left over"

***Starts talking about 3000GTs.***
***I tell him it's minimun price is about 14k, and that's for an old one, and even with turbocharged it's 320 HP... a 320 would probably cost 18, so I tell him how for 18k what you could do to V8 LS1.***

***changes subject to infiniti with 340 HP***
***reminds him that for 42k I could have a custom engine F-body full-blown everything with horsepower through the roof***

***Reminds him girls like f-bodies***
***he says after they hear it that's all that matters***

***I chuckle***

***He changes subject and says it's cheaper to fix imports and the engine has it's power longer***
***Reminds him that we're talkinga about performance and even IF the high-milage modded LS1 loses power it will STILL be more powerful than the 3000GT... then tells him to stay on subject***

***He says I'm comparing a 3.0 liter to a 5.7 liter***
***I remind him money is money***

***He says it costs extra to import them***
***I remind him money is money.... then tell him that if he wants to spend extra to buy a car with LESS power that girls don't like and that he has to spend even MORE money on to make powerful, then that is his decision.... and money is money***
***He says he would rather race fair... mod for mod***


***I say: "-_-' I win"***

lol, such bad logic? He's my friend but even if it is the hot thing down where he lives in FL... MAN... more money for less power, spending that much on a weak car and thinking girls only care about sound? :( I just don't get it guys!
