soo when everyone here starts building magazine cars, then hate on our shit
I think I'm qualified to handle this one.
Many of you follow my Facebook page and can verify the information I'm about to share with you.
For those who DON'T already know me, I'm Wil. I build and race superbikes, and I also build and repair high-end 'Exotic' cars. Granted, I've never built a raggedy old Corolla, but I feel like there's a reason for that.
Just to pull a few examples out of the air at random, I've fabricated the entire turbocharger system for a Porsche 996 911 that went just over 200mph in the Texas Mile. I built the fuel system and fabricated several other parts for a twin-turbo Lamborghini Gallardo. I've fabricated parts and systems for and built countless other Porsche 996's and 997's, some of which have topped the 1,000hp mark. I've built (and even restored) countless other Ferraris, Porsches, Mercedes, Bentleys, and Rolls Royces. I may have even made a thread here a while back about that. It's weird how, at the High-End Exotic level of car building, you don't see very many Corollas and 240's. Have you ever even TOUCHED a car that cost more than $50k?
Anyways, I feel like I'm more than qualified to voice my opinion on what 'is' or 'is not' a "Race Car" or "Badass Car"; likewise, I'm equally qualified to know what constitutes a "Heaping Bucket of Shit."
The Corolla previously posted in this thread is just that - a "Heaping Bucket of Shit". I'm curious what actual R&D went into building that car, or if someone woke up hungover in Mexico with too-narrow tires, a vinyl cutter, and a bucket of sheet metal roofing screws.
It does, allegedly, have a "Twin Charge" kit being put on, and I'll address this one in its own paragraph - there's a reason you don't see a whole lot of "Twin Charged" cars - that reason is because it's fucking retarded and pointless.
Anyways, as far as the 'professional' vinyl wrap job - did you REALLY post a picture of that shop and associate the word 'Professional' with it??? I've seen tons of vinyl wrapped cars, and they all have one thing in common - they look like shit. Too cheap and lazy to do bodywork, prep the car, and properly paint it? Just throw a sticker over it! It's the automotive equivalent to Adam Sandler throwing a newspaper over a pile of piss in 'Big Daddy' (or whatever shitty movie that was) in order to cover up a mistake. And as far as that shop, seriously? We've got shops like that all over the place around here in Houston, however they usually have a piece of plywood with "Fernando's Used Tires" out front - not 'Whatever Performance Shop'.
For reference, allow me to show you a photo of one of MY shops:
Big difference, eh? You'll notice the absence of 'shit laying everywhere' and 'vinyl wrap'. Strange, huh?
You'd put up 'good money' that it would spank Ian's ass...on what kind of track? You HAVE grown up past the age that you realize that drag racing and drifting AREN'T real racing, right? Howabout this, I'll put any of the cars that I'VE built up against that sad little shitwagon, and I'll put even BETTER money up against it. Matter of fact, I'd put the STOCK MOTOR Porsche 997 that I just got finished putting a set of 'special stock' turbos back on, which - other than those turbos and the tune - is BONE stock, up against that Corolla. Shit, I'd bet you whatever your parents had to mortgage their house for that it couldn't even pull .8g with those 165's.
Another thing, what the fuck is 'Strickly'? What does that mean? Is that even a word?
But, of course, this was all BASED on the fact that no one who's car hasn't been on the cover of a MAGAZINE is supposed to talk shit...well, even though an untold number of things I've built, ridden, or driven have topped podiums, shattered records, and even conquered the Pike's Peak International Hill Climb, I guess I still haven't been on the cover of a magazine. There is, however, a good reason for that...the people who own cars like the ones I build are what we call 'grown ups', and those types of people could give a shit less if they make it on the cover of some wannabe 'tuner' magazine. Don't worry, though - you'll grow up one day. In the meantime, I'm sure all the other highschoolers will continue to drool over your 'Legit JDM Steering Wheel'.
Lol, noob.
enough of this shit
