Am I the only one on ACS that doesn't give two sh*ts about Rice Burners?

What the heck is a rice burner?

Why would you need to have top speed if you could travel through time?

According to the movie, you could only travel through time if you were going 80 mph...

Yeah, but who needs to go any faster? If you could just travel through time? Ok wow this is like branching out into like Time Continuum.

It was technically 88mph... which the car in the movie couldn't actually do with all the stuff on it. (Also, the film crew ripped out the stock engine from France and replaced it with a Porsche powerplant)

Yeah to bad some Marauders even have more been kicking the idea around of twin turbos for mine

You have 3 generations of Marauders 1963/65
1969/70
2003/04

I know, right! That's great, but even with the Porsche engines (which Wiki said, not "The Making of Back to the Future" which I do have because I have the DVD trilogy) they said the actual filming cars still couldn't actually hit 88. 1985 was in the midst of a sad, sad time for Automobiles. I think there was a Corvette 454 that pumped out a thundering 200 horsepower... from a 454 V-8! Just 200!

Yep but the most ineffecient engine was made in 1973/76 the caddy 500 which produced only 195 HP!!!! but the 454 was around 270 in 73 then in 74 GM strictly went with the 350 until the LT1 came along in 1983 for the 84 Vette

Well, I read that the Chevy 305 actually put out only 150/165 horsepower during the eighties for the Caprice Classic. THAT MUCH!

I have a consumer warning for owners of 97 Expedition. If you go mudding in them, they WILL get stuck. Be warned. I had QUITE an adventure today...

...

They're just Fords. Nothing special. 'Rather have an '84 Caprice Classic painted black with a 435 HP 350ci Chevy engine from Edelbrock, a Barry Grant Six-Shooter intake, some really big headers, and a pair of Cherry Bomb Glasspacks. Yeah... Add some BFGoodrich Wide Oval tires onto a set of American Racing Trak-Star S/S wheels, and a chopped roof. Yeah... Add some flames, and it's a classic Dare To Be Different™ car.

...

Dare To Be Different belongs to Hot Rod Magazine.

Yes, but any man who wants to be taken seriously should not put flames on their car.

Just black it out.

But then it'll be plain!

...

What about a 1986 Nissan 720 truck with the original 4-banger removed to make way for a Chevy 350 with a six-speed, body panels chopped, the roof cut low, and custom wheels all around, along with a custom cap. Paint it Chevy Orange, with a black hood. Nice for a sport truck, huh?

Look at the old hot rods made from 30s-50s era cars, lots of them had flames; and they looked cool

Yeah, on Hot-Rods. Those cars were alright. You know theres like an unwritten code, that some how allows you to put flames on those cars. Like cars today, are not meant to have flames on them.



Blacking your car out, with silver/chrome trim is the best way to do it.

Feh.

...

Rather have a custom '32 Ford convertible rat rod that looks like a P-40 Warhawk with a V-12 engine from a Lamborghini in it.

...

Even with the dash, the seats, the prop cone on the custom grille, and exhaust stubs.

...

Edit: That's because they aren't muscle cars. Most of the cars today are imports. Japanese cars. They don't respect the classic American Muscle Car. I'd rather die than get a Japanese import car. A truck is a different story.

Not to be an [color=red]*CENSORED*[/color] or anything and i'm really not testing you.

But [color=red]*CENSORED*[/color]? Japanese import cars are just fine. Most are beneficial to families with their high MPG, great features and sometimes may even look nice.

But yes, I too would take a Muscle Car any day. Especially a 1968 Charger, Pontiac 1967 GTO.

Another car I like is the Chrysler Prowler.

I'd rather get a Boss 429 or a GT500 mustang if I was to get a musle car. A 1970 mustang with a smaller engine would be a nice everyday car. (Mine 1997 is a nice everday car, 24 mpg and can turn better and go faster than most other cars on the road)

I know that, but I'm American. I love my country. That's why I love musclecars, not to mention that they look cool.
