I like your car. It's simple and fast with no excuses. Your car would out run both my cars no doubt about it. Main thing is you're not lying about your car and not going around telling people you own a "super car". Not really sure what a Super car is. I would say an F-40, F-50, Enzo, 288 GTO's, LP640 , Carrera GT would be in that category. All the others I would consider exotics.JETPILOT wrote:I'd like to hear some opinions.... Is it everyone opinion that a 350Z can't be considered a supercar? I know "modifieds Z" is riced out, but is it everyone opinion that a 350Z can't be considered a supercar or make it into a concourse show and compete against Ferrari or Lambo?
Because on performance alone my car will run with the best of anything Lambo or Ferrari has on a road course. Would my car be considered rice?

I agree with Jet, super cars are supposed to be, well super. i know this is just opening another can of worms, but the whole "rice" thing that has been thrown around recently is sending this thread to the sh**ter. Is everything that is made in an oriental country rice? lets face it times have changed and engineering has grown in leaps and bounds. carbon fiber is everywhere! wtf! F1 or super car technology is being developed for every type of vehicle. the GTR is so big because it's breaking that "ricer" mold, only because it came from the factory with "super car" numbers, and a touch of history.JETPILOT wrote:
I always thought of a supercar on the merrits of it's performance. That includes braking, acceleration, lateral acceleration etc...

Don't get me wrong, there are most definitely "ricers" out there. Chances are they just want a car that looks cool to them. Some are trying to live up to a bad boy persona. Other "ricers" are actually Drivers. You'll find them at the track pushing the limits of their cars and tuning them. These real drivers are the ones that fuel the aftermarket. That Ferrari left the factory with years upon years of track engineering. That doesn't mean its the end of the line. There is always a way to make something better and that is what tuning is about. There will always be people who'll slap on a whole catalogs worth of parts onto their ride. whether it is anything Megan racing from eBay or everything Edelbrock. There is always someone, especially with exotics, who has all of the memorabilia/add-ons they can find. These enthusiasts will get everything from the key chain to the matching luggage. (you know who you are).
Point is we are all part of a community of automotive enthusiasts. We are all fiercely proud of our cars. From the old guys in my town who spend their sundays in their 57' Chevys, the kids at the high school gutting out their cats, the track junkie ripping out his back seats, to those who worked hard enough to get a factory dream car. Even if we all had the same car, they would all look and drive differently in the end.
To each his/her own.
P.s. Every time you show a car you put yourself up for criticism. that takes guts. Bragging about it does not. There will always be someone there to cut you down.
Keep the rubber side down
I can see it now NICO goes on a field trip. lol when do our permission slips and money have to be in?AZhitman wrote:
We have a strong NICOclub presence in Louisville, and I think a 'field trip' to the Concours is a great idea.
It thought about this post along time before doing so. I knew I would be bashed and it would be taken the wrong way. I quoted the thread that I wrote and know where in there am I bragging or saying Im better then anyone. The reason I posted was I was so excited/honored to be put in the same class as these cars that I thought for once it would be taken for what it is, but it obviously did not turn out like that. I was approached months before this show at another show, and this man gave me an envelope and said fill it out and send it in by monday. I didnt think anything of it and put it in my backpack with everybody elses car show flyers etc. When I fianally read it I had no idea what kind of show or cars would be there, but that the only categorey I fit in was modern day sports car. A week later I get a response saying i was invited to participate in there show and they requested more info. A few weeks after that I received another packet and I filled it out. I had no idea what was going to be there, let alone what type of vehicles my car would be paired with till the day before the show.modified350z wrote:This car when up against this list of cars, and theres pics of all the cars listed.

Exactly. Modified350Z You obviously invested a lot of work and money into that Z. Unfortunately you got caught stretching the truth on your earlier threads which pretty much ruined your reputation.d!ck wrote:the issue here has more to do with the way he misrepresents his car and less with his taste in modifications.
I hardly doubt I look like the fool. I know my shiit and you don't. Trust me I am not the least one bit jealous of your life or your car. Not sure if you are making a threat to me about seeing me at the next show, but if you are mr. mma fighter...seeing your picture..all I can say is LOL! I've had bigger fish than you and all I need to do is mess up what's left on your head (hair) and that should shut you up.modified350z wrote:SILVERGTS1998
Buddy you have a huge chip on your shoulder. You and others cant stand that someone thinks outside of your small box you live in. Comment all you want. You look like a fool not me! I compete against anyone and everyone at every show I attend whether you think I am worthy of being there or not. Get a life bro. White Rapper? p0rn star girls? Hair piece? The blog used to be about my car now you ran out of things to say and try to bring other things into the bashing. You actually think you are hurting my feelings? Not at all, it seems the people that have the problems with my car are only on this site. And as far as the guy saying I was uninvited next year.....do some research on him and his role. And he said anyone and everyone was invited.......you know thats not true. Go to the ferrari sites and read everyone that wrote that they were not accepted. Why they werent I dont know and neither do you. I plan on seeing you at the show next year! Thanks again for all your comments. Its amusing how much time people have to come up with the stuff you do. Stay in your box and I will live outside of mine and continue to do what I do best......give people a car that catches your eye in 50 different ways.
yeah man, but its for all the wrong reasons.modified350z wrote:Stay in your box and I will live outside of mine and continue to do what I do best......give people a car that catches your eye in 50 different ways.

okay, so i got this message from soup today telling me to venture back over to the z forums to see an epic thread, and after four pages and still no dyno sheet i have to call bullsheet.modified350z wrote:Sorry but the flames are not vinyl, everything is 100% paint and clearcoat on my car.

My only question to you is, if you paint the flame for show, why not ghost flame it and make it look a little more like show car paint, instead of just silver paint?....modified350z wrote:Sorry but the flames are not vinyl, everything is 100% paint and clearcoat on my car.
