Another stupid questions about cars thread.

[JoshieDoom]

So one of the girls in my gfs classed told everyone that the difference in a manual car and an automatic is that manuals dont have a throttle body....

what the fuck... the girls drive a 99 v6 catfish and says she rewired a lot of it. My gf told me that doesnt sound right because I had mine ported on my car and I was gonna port hers on her car.. she corrected the girl and got into a big argument with a bunch of people..

Ive been asked at least 5000 stupid questions about cars.

So post them up.. its your turn

Heres a couple for an example..


"Thats a ws6 right with the ws6 tranmission?"
"No... its a trans am with a ram air hood, its a 4 speed automatic, not a 6 speed manual"
"What... man that sucks man, those things are fast you wish you had one?"
"No, I have a 3600 stall/tranny in the shop."
"What?"
(Shake head and go into full depth convo.. apparently way over their head)

Next.

Pull up to a real ws6 in the local cruise spot. Pop hoods. and begin to start talking about mods...(mine had only a P&P TB at the time)
"Yeah, I got a shift kit, ls1 lid, and a shock brace.. guy at the shop told that it should be making around 415 to the wheels now"
"Thats cool, thats cool."
"Yeah its a lot faster than when I got it, wanna see?"
"Sure, im probably making about 300 to the wheels"
I proceed to blow the doors off this car three times that night, two from a dig and one from a roll.
Obviously a ws6 with a lid, stb, and a shift kit is much faster than a stock trans am


Alright .. your turn.

Ohh where to begin! most of mine involve ricers...and we all know how that turns out!

My buddy and I roll up in his 95z and there is this tool standing there next to his integra. We get out of the car to go into the store and he says nice car man. My buddy just said thanks and the guy said "yeah those things are pretty fast, I have seen them hit low 16's before!" my buddy "uhh no sorry its a high 13 second car" ricer "nuhh uhh you have to be able to lift the front tires to run a 13"
So i guess every front wheel drive car is fucked then! I got lots more I'll post them later.

i was at a car sow once showing my 99 z...when this kid..id guess 13 or 14 comes up trying to be cool with me. says hey is that a 4 cylinder or 6? i say...its a v8.....he then says is that fwd or rwd...i say rwd...he then says is that turbo? i then say yes its twin turbo with a super charger on top, and i have a button in my car to make it awd when i want to...then he was all impressed with this...i told him to fuck off.....end of story

i get that all the time

[ls1blackbeauty98]

i just get asked if my car is a camaro or mustang

[SouthernBornThriller]

"Wow is that the new Corvette?"

"What year Camaro is that?"

"If it's a trans am, why'd you take the big bird off the hood?"

[third_shift|studios]

i'll never forget this down-tard at the local cruise-in..

nice camaro
it's a trans am.
yeah, well the engine's made by GM so it's a chevy.
Right, buddy.
Hey, did you know that this engine is actually called a "wedge engine" b/c the cylinder doesn't meet the head at a 90° perpindicular? Ya, it meets at a bit of an angle and makes a wedge-shape during compression.


I didn't know what to say after that...who the hell comes up with this shit?

[transamprincess98]

Ricer next to me in the lanes at the track came over and started talking to me convo went like this
"Is that a 6cyl?"
Me "No it's an 8"
"Oh? What did you run?"
Me "12.70s"
Ricer walked away mumbling something about it being a "fast" time. Not even 10 mins later I overheard him saying how he wanted a civic cause they are sooooooo much Faster then V8s

Another ricer same day came over to me while I am putting my helmet on and IN my car and asks "Is that your car?" of course I said yes then he asked "Are you gonna race?"
No you fucking twit I wear a helmet as a fashion statement and wait an hour in the lanes to piss everyone else off

[GTP231]

I get told Nice Grand Am. Even in High Performance Pontiac finishing runner up in a bracket race.
I regularly wear my helmet while cruising on the highways

[GTP231]

i just get asked if my car is a camaro or mustang

Well which is it?

[rbob93]

Ricer at a light yesterday

Him: "Is that your car?"

Me: "No.....I stole it......shhhhhhhh!"

[GTP231]

I used to get asked all the time if my 94 GTP was supercharged. The badge didn't say supercharged and it said 24_VALVE_V6 on the fenders and with the hood up you saw no blower

[Y2KArcticSS]

Guy in a v6 camaro vert pulls up next to me at a stoplight...his drunk ass redneck bald passenger leans over and looks down at my "SS" badge. He then says,"Is that an SS?" .....God will this light ever turn green....

Me, trying to keep him from asking the stupid question I know is coming: "Yeah, it's got the LS1 in it."

Him, obviously having no idea what an 'LS1' is: "Is that the V6 or V8 SS?" .....There's the question....

Me: "oh....it's only the V6."

Him: " Oh, well I think he can take you, these verts are lighter than your T-Tops.." ........

He gives a high rev...his V6 sounds veerrrry tired.. I give no rev, don't wanna give it away (although I don't think they'd know the difference). Light turns green, I punch it from idle, and leave em both in the dust, and just keep going....no way was I gonna sit through another down syndrome conversation with those guys...

[Sarge]

Lord stupid people have been fucking and multiplying again have they? Well.....I've been asked so many stupid ass questions it still to this day does not amaze me.....I'll share a few off the top of my head.....
About the GTO....
Is that one of them new Cavaliers?
Is that a front wheel drive?
I heard them new GTO's are made in Hong Kong.
How did you get that motor in there?
Guy telling his kids what my vacuum reserve canister was...."Yup....and right there is the nitrous bottle"
Another guy telling his girlfriend why we put rollbars in cars...." you see that (pointing to the rollbar) that is to allow him something to grab a hold of when he hits it"...( I shit you not).....
On oil....Guy at AutoZone...."0-30 weight oil is for winter use only"......
Guy on ls1gto.com "German Castrol shows no wear numbers on all LS1's".....
Guy at the races one day...." If you run Shell Rotella in your motor it will clog the fuel injectors"......
The all time winner is when I had my Cobra.....guy walked up and pointed to the KB Blower and said without a twitch....."does that suck all the exhaust out?"
