Sports Car Club of America

its a amature racing organization, they hold several different styles of racing, autocross (auto-x) is a time trial, there is a course made out of cones placed in usualy in a parking lot, but sometimes in places like abondond or temporaily closed runways and stuff
you can pretty much bring whatever car you use as a daily drive and race it unmodified if it pases saftey spec, trucks and SUVs must have a roll cage though and there is a maximum height, then there are profional classes that alow modifcations and im not sure about auto-x but in rally-x there is a class that is pretty much unlimited in power and suspension modifacations, but most will tell you power has little to do with being good in rally-x

I had a Toyota Camry with the 2.0L that was like that in the low end, but with that, it didn't seem to start making any power until you got the rpms up.

It was slow starting out, but out on the highway once you got the rpms up it was actually pretty quick.

I put power down but its power and style I would rather have a Good looking good performing car (Mustang GT) then a beast that just plain ugly. (Bugatti Vayron).

[Shintsu]

A Veyron is ugly and crap and a Junkstang is good looking and well made? Wow, talk about backwards. The Veyron may not be the best looking but Bugattis, Koenigseggs, Ferraris, Lamborginis, Paganis, they all look much better (And are certainly way better built) than anything we can ever hope to make. IIRC, if you have a problem with your Veyron, there are only like 50-100 people in the world who can work on them. They will fly someone to you and repair it for you. This might be Enzo I am thinking of, it's some kind of rare car though. In any case, our closest to a euro supercar is probably the Saleen S7 and it's just fast, not particularly good looking.

mmh quite difficult, i look for power but if its an old crash car that has lots of power but no luxury of safety, then srry .

I chose luxury, a car thats looks very nice and has luxury then im satisfied.

Stop with zee fighting plez. Kai tank u.

...

No really - Please stop fighting and swearing every second word of your sentences. It's very unbecoming and it turns your argument into a flame war.

Cease and desist please.

I won't lock this, because I believe it can still be salvaged.

Shintsu, please be nice.

Ok, no problem. Sorry but I get sick of Jack coming into every thread of mine and because I don't praise the Mustang saying I'm just bad talking them and thats the whole reason for my thread.

Oh and Strelok, I think I found a picture of your Mustang:

hmm thats the first convertable ive seen with bronco running gear in it, I wonder if the convertable subframe pieces gave them problems

(its actually not a hard conversion to do, or un-do, you can use either bronco or truck running gear)


and as it applies to this thread, apparently that guy likes power, off road ability, and good looks
