What aspect/s of your current car (or any previous one that you rate as your favorite car you've owned so far) do you believe makes or made it feel cool (whatever your definition of that is) to you and please say why.

I love that no weather in Calgary can stop me from driving. People also don't really cut me off or tailgate me anymore.

The fact that most honda fanboys with ricer exhausts rev at me haha. I get it so much in the Legend haha.

Plus the big number of creature comforts I have as well for such an old car is also pretty fun hehe.

I like how every other mustang I come across instantly wants to race and starts driving like a dink. Revving the engine is the standard "hello friend".

But really, the rumble of the V8 beneath you is a feeling unrivaled by much. Gives you the real driving experience and I fall in love with it all over again every time I turn the key.

:love:

It's a 20 year old car that doesn't feel or look like one...

Drives great, good power.

It's almost as cheap to operate as taking transit.

Unfortunately I am getting the opposite response that I wanted... more guys look at my car than girls do :rofl:

In all honestly, my car is great in the winter time, extremely fun in the summer, has a greatly sounding exhaust, and quick enough that my standards i'd consider "fast".

08-22-2009, 12:01 PM
the fact that i have driven 187kms and my fuel gauge is just barely off full.

I love that it handles like a go-kart, and I overall just like the look of the car.

Like:

Power, 15psi of boost, sunroof, A/C., $35 to fill.

Dislike:

Interior, exterior, transmission... and pretty much everything else.

It was my first standard. It was my first rwd. Love people who have never seen a mid-engine. Go kart handling +1. And all the accel i need.

I like the way my car looks...I look at it a lot, too...it has a nice ass, kinda "sits up" in the back, it has a really nice stance.
I also like the turbo, it's nice and subtle...I can hear it spool up, especially if I'm next to other cars or a wall or something. I like that it doesn't sound like a dog sneezing.

For my Sequoia: I love the cargo capacity, the fact I tower over almost every other vehicle, and the fact it has more power than people think.

For my ZTT, I still love the looks even though it is almost 20 years old. Handling rocks, and power is ridiculous. Oh... and T-tops are nice too on days like this.....

Most importantly I have yet to run into another person with a car that looks like it! haha and no my car isn't ugly. :whocares:

The turbo, AWD and decently luxurious. And it's pretty low key.

VTEC bitches! Once my car hits VTEC, its looooooong gone....
As in waaay behind some other car. :D

But honestly, i like it because its cheap and fun to work on. $25 tank FTW.

I don't see many cars with a carputer, especially one that talks to the ECU for tuning/datalogging, in addition to all the usual things a carputer does.. So I think having one is pretty cool.



What's not cool is the freaking thing being dyno tuned for 94 octane. :banghead:

ExtraSlow
08-22-2009, 02:39 PM
The fact that it has a 7500 cc engine and I paid less than seven cents per cc.

What part of 450hp on pump gas, only driving it on beautiful summer days and wondering what that sound was isnt fun???

Oh yeah its all the attention from guys.

I love it for the 540whp on the street tune @ 20psi....

Too bad it eats mickey thomposons like tic tacs.

I built it, from a completely stock car, and that to me, means everything, its an accomplishment. Still more to come guys.

I like the power, the ride, the handling. Dislike the rattles, soon to be gone, 15 year old car woes

08-22-2009, 04:59 PM
Sleeper. I get picked on so much by 335's back in the day. Now I can beat them at 1/2 throttle, and they have no clue what hit 'em.

love the power and the fact im going to get a shitload more after injectors and tune, the S chassis body lines, the fact that i bought the car stock and with the help of a few friends completely did it all.


things i hate, random rattles, the fact that someone recently keyed the fucking passenger side, waiting for paint.

A little German Go-kart thats a drop top, TONS of fun to drive & very good on gas.

The bad: The stealerships for this car (locally) are horrendous, and it CAN be costly to own & operate at times. Its also extremely expensive to mod:(
Should've bought a 'Vette I guess. :dunno:

What I like, the ass of the car.

What I don't think makes me cool is the horrendously ugly rims from the previous owner that i've been to poor to change. Have focused to much on under the hood as opposed to good stance.

I love it when i roll up behind a guy in a silvia and they think o wicked another silvia. Then i change lanes then you can see them look like wtf is that? I also love that i can say that there is only one other car in the word that looks like mine. I love the power it makes at low boost.

I absolutly hate spending money on it or having to tinker with fine tuning stuff

The Z06: Love the looks, exhaust sound, 12.18 1/4 mile time, 900km+ per tank fuel economy, reliable, cheap to make faster, handles awesome, comfortable on long trips, HUD is really nice.
The SVT Focus: Steering feel, seats, 6 speed, handling, rareness.

08-24-2009, 07:39 PM
It has three fucking cylinders. That's the coolest thing ever. Who needs opposing cylinders anyway?

Also how narrow the tires are. Wide tires are no longer bad ass, it's all about how narrow you can get them. The closer to bike tires you get, the better.

The R6: It's a red crotchrocket that revs to 17,000 rpm. What else is there?

The BMW: Ummm.... it's a stick and gets 800 kms to a tank. And it's quiet.

08-24-2009, 10:18 PM
The shifter/tranny on the S2k is the best i've driven period. I also love the headlights that come with the car and the fact that the car handles like nothing i've ever driven.

God I miss those headlights. They really are the best ones in the world.

The ZX6R: because I can get it up.
The A6: 4000lbs and 3rd gear traction issues.
The Neon: I can take it off sweet jumps.

When I'm waiting at lights or cruising on the highway, watching little kids peeking out of the window just totally checking out my car. Then I happily downshift, rev matching each shift to give it that sequential vroom-vroom sound race cars have, then go WOT and spray VTEC all over them.

I know that's what I would've wanted when I was 8 years old.

Yes it does. Or the trip odo reads wrong. But I got 770 kms to my last full tank on the highway. Or I'm lying to be cool on the internet. :rolleyes:

I've never been in an s2000, what are the headlights like?

Cools things i like about my car is: Sunroof (always wanted one, never had one before), Stick, I can talk to my car, stock navi system, stock bluetooth. I honestly like the look even though everyone hates it. Has cool little features that makes me appreciate it more and finally, it's my own car :D

Bad: torqueless, powerless, girly car to most.

Very wide pattern, sharp cutoff, even beam.

So good in fact they're retrofitted in my VW, which makes my car cool.
