Quote History Quoted:lol
I honestly don’t even comprehend people who get their egos wrapped up in what they drive, or what others drive.
Car threads on the internet are always weird to me, because of how seriously people take them.
Drive what you like. If you want to build something cool and awesome in your garage, then build something cool and awesome in your garage and drive it and have fun.
I’m not sure I understand why anyone would care if that car could go faster than a completely different factory-built car. I totally see the fun of building something unique and cool - I totally do not see the point of THEN trying to compare it to something factory built.
I guess some people have a need to try to prove something (to themselves) and to others, and receive some kind of validation. But I honestly don’t get it.

You just haven't run up against the right " shitbox" yet. I have ridden in 900 + HP Honda Civics and VWs when they have walked on all kinds of expensive euro trash........ Porsches included.
Also some 1200 HP street legal American muscle cars too. I don't know many factory purchased cars that can run in the 7s and 8s.
Hats off to the shitbox builders.
ETA: Bring your porsche to this guys house.

And you are aware that "eurotrash" cars that are built for performance can be tuned to 13 or 1400 HP too, right? And that POS Honda is still a POS
LOL! Yeah, and your factory built and bought euro trash uber car will still get smoked by some dude who built his car in his garage. Funny, you don't see many "tuned" eurotrash cars being run in any kind of competitions.
They do, just the courses have a lot of turns and the drivers use a different car than their daily.
Also, any grown up with a $100k plus car who can be goaded into a stoplight race with “shitbox” needs a better therapist.
Yeah um the track! That's what the streets of America are..... just like a track. Euro trash driver says " shit, damn it..... if we were on a track I would smoke your ass!! " as the shitbox driver gives him the finger while pulling away from him.
lol

LOL! You may have missed the OP.
No one cares if a V8 swapped and turboed Fiero can go faster in a straight line than an AMG, because it's still a fucking Fiero.This is what started everything.
Then the term ....... " shit box". LOL! Having some fun here.
Although, I will say that I have seen more than a few guys get pissed off when they are smoked by that little Honda Civic while driving their expensive uber cars.
AND, LOL..... when you say......
I honestly don’t even comprehend people who get their egos wrapped up in what they drive you may need to get out more. I mean really, how many guys stretch their incomes and drive cars they really can't afford just to impress complete strangers? A metric shit ton.... that's how many.
I guess some people have a need to try to prove something (to themselves) and to others, and receive some kind of validation. But I honestly don’t get it.You don't? Like I said, get out more. Ever see people ( especially women ) drive an expensive car they can't possibly appreciate? Who can't begin to appreciate the brakes, handling, engine performance, etc.
Yeah, they are proving they are special and can afford ( presumedly) that car because they damn sure can't appreciate the performance. It's about the name and the money spent for again complete strangers to gawk at.
You know, those that drive something like a Porsche when a Camry has all he performance they need and can use. Or, maybe move up to a loaded Avalon which is a pretty nice ride.
