Re: Funny Article

Funny Article


Funny, I think not.



I suppose you might find this funny too.



Maybe this one too.



I'm sorry, I just don't understand what's so funny about people ricing out their slow ass front wheel drive cars. Their parents cars for a good part too.

Also, how does a 2 foot tall spoiler help a ff car considering that it's the front wheels that drive it and chances are there Civic/Cavalier won't see much past 200 km/h (120 mp/h) assuming that they're geared to even get that high.

That's a good question, one that deserves an answer of the same sort.
Oh sorry, I didn't realise that you expected me to come up with one.

Upon sloser inspection I may have noticed knock off Volk Challenge rims. Whether they're real or not I don't give a fook. But wasting $30,000 on that pos he better have at least bought something that's quality.

I don't see what's NOT funny! It's a laugh riot.

By the way, a wing works at lower speeds the larger it is. Check out an A-Mod autocrosser.. they never see past like 70mph and they have HUUUUUGE wings. It also doesn't matter that the cars are FWD.... check out a touring car race, mostly FWD cars with big-ass wings. Suspension tuning can make a FWD car oversteer with ease. I get my GTI sideways on an almost daily basis, and that's with stock suspension.

Here's what I mean...



That's an A/Mod autocross car. Top speed maybe 80mph.



Three front wheel drive BTCC race cars with wings.

That's not to say that ricers know a damn thing about aerodynamics (they don't) but wings just plain aren't limited to high speed, RWD cars.

Alright, you guys have made your point. I was tired and still am but I'm pretty sure you guys understood what I meant. Yes I do understand the point of a spoiler on a ff car in a race, I was just refering (probably spelt wrong) to all these sick ass ricers who put on these big ass wings just because they think it looks cool.

The Drift kit complements the Cavalier body lines well, while still having extreme features that help the car to stand out.
Drift Kit?
Oh yeah, you've got to be mad drifting in the Cavalier with your sweet understeer.
