Replying to: allargon (Jan 24, 2007 10:00 am) I personally don't care allargon. If host "Pat" wants he can feel free to change the title for the last time to   "Performance Oriented Factory Tuner Automobiles"   I just wanted to keep the focus on the "Factory Tuner" side.   I agree the SVT MKZ, isn't out yet and can lay in the woods for now. It's still a couple of years away.   You can feel free to talk about the SRT's, RS-4's, S6's, STS-V, just as long as they are performance enhanced at the factory.   Thanx,   Rocky

Replying to: louiswei (Jan 24, 2007 10:21 am) I agree........That car will exactly fit the topic I would like to talk about. The IS-F is a "factory tuner" car.   If you guys want 2-doors to be included I don't care. I just ask that the forum be focused on "factory tuned" and was at first trying to narrow it down to sedans. Obviously y'all have objected and over ruled me which is okay with me !   Rocky

Replying to: louiswei (Jan 24, 2007 11:02 am) Honda Civic Si -That's stretching it isn't it ???? Now the Type-R is a for sure yes !!!!   Mitsubishi Gallant Raliart- Ummmm....What makes it a factory tuned car ???? I don't know much about it honestly ?      Audi S8-Yes   All Chevy's SS models- a HHR SS is more trim than engine isn't it ? But yeah I suppose Chevy SS could be included.   What makes a factory tuned car IMHO is suspension, engine, brake, and in some cases interior upgrades.   All Dodge's SRT models-Yes   Mazda Mazdaspeed 3->yes Mazda Mazdaspeed 6->yes   All MB's AMG sedans-> Yes   Rocky

Replying to: rockylee (Jan 25, 2007 2:10 am) Okay, Rocky - I changed the name, added the R8 and dropped the MKZ. Don't forget there can only be nine listed so if you tell me to add something, you've got to tell me what to drop.   Have fun. Replies to this message: rockylee (Jan 25, 2007 5:28 am)

Replying to: rockylee (Jan 25, 2007 5:36 am) Aight, Rocky, since I got a few minutes until my next meeting, I'll entertain you on this topic...   Who's going to win this tuner battle and why   Historically speaking, the STi is always "purer" than the Evo without all the technology nannies. On the other hand, from numerous comparisons (especially the top gear), driving Evo is like playing a video game, one can drive it as aggressive as possible but the computer will sort everything out. To me I think it's a toss up. If you want full control, go with STi; a PS3/Xbox360 on wheels, then Evo.   Which car gets the chic's (styling)   Neither will get the "chicks" IMO (well, at least not my kind of chicks). The styling for both cars are too "ricey" for my taste so I would never consider these in any given time of my life.   The chick-magnets in this group of cars are the M3 and CTS-V. Those 2 are aggressive in a subtle way but yet elegant. IS-F is close but lacks the "subtle" and "elegant" characteristics in my opinion (also too ricey). I think a regular IS body with a mild all around side-skirt, lower the suspension, 19" rims, fender vent like the M3's and the stacked quad-pipe will be better looking than the current IS-F. AMGs wouldn't be bad choices either if you are into 40-plus chicks (that's IMO of course).   PS, If I offended any female members with this post I am sorry. Y'all can be angry at Rocky because he started it...
