Excels!
Ok.. so I'm driving an excel cos my car's gone in for repairs.
I always knew it was a shytty car, and used to see people who would throw body kits etc, I actually used to think it was a decent car since people wouldn't be doing it up so much unless it was.
Well.. after driving one it is a shytbox beyond belief.. first gear is 10, 2nd gear is 20, 3rd is 30 and 4th gear is 40.
It was NO power steering, the turn radius is really really shyt and well.. it looks like a peice of shyt!
sure if you wanna throw a turbo in it then do it, but it's still a waste!!
And what was really funny, my friend was driving and came across this other excel, had exhaust, body kit and a crapload of tacos everywhere and we just wanted to race him for the fun of it lol so my friend steps on it and we're both racing at an extremely slow pace and the it's like.. exactly the same rofl.. doesn't go nowhere!!

lol, well ppl do excels up cos they r stupidly cheap, they r stupidly cheap because they r stupidly shyt.and we're both racing at an extremely slow pace and the it's like.. exactly the same rofl.. doesn't go nowhere!!
u can pick a 97 model for $3/4K? and on top of that it's a lot cheaper to insurance, dont think they can classify that as a "sports hatch" regardless of how much the insurace company want to.

but is it really worth it to steal an excel though?
...maybe if you are doing prep for an insanity plea for something else in court:
"your honour, my client is clearly mentally ill, he chose to break in and steal an excel. AN EXCEL! now you name me one sane person that would?"

1st off what were you doing racing an excel in the first place lolSupplanter wrote:I raced a chick in a riced up Excel once, stickers all over the car, huge rear wing that obstructed her view out the back... I was winning by less than a car length by the time we reached the speed limit (80)
Psycho bitch
only by less than a car length? what happened? were you stuck in 1st? 1st gear on my 94 GR pulls damn close to 80... sure i was at 8.5K RPM, but it did it (it was when i just got the car, forgot that i left the car in tip mode when i took off from the lights )

man no way your 94 GR can go close to 80 on first gear..??
i have a 96 gr which is the same shyt and i dunno how u get to 80 in first gear without redlining and keep on driving for another 30ks!
and as far as stealing excels - like 5 yrs ago nobody had a car, and excels were easy to steal!

well even if u mod it it'd be the same peak power, unless u turbo it, in that case u'll get peak power at like 4000rpm so u wont need 2 redline it
and by the time u hit like 40 u would have reached the redline limit anyway so damn u must have fcuked it up hard

fuk are u serious?? man your car is already fucked up..!!I8AFRE wrote:really cause i redline mine evry gear but i dont look at the speedo, matter of fact didnt know it came with 1 lol
FTOs aren't meant to be redlined, I've never redlined mine and never will.
Firstly it's pointless to redline as you'll be gone past the peak power in that gear so your really jsut doing nothing xcept fuking up your engine and going slower than you could have changing gears.
anyway don't do it any more, it's too late if u do it everytime but your cutting your car's life expectancy by like.. 80%!
and to be honest I've never payed much attention to what speed I get upto in first gear, I'll check it next time when I actually have my car.
Anyway I8AFRE I seriously recommend you never to redline your car.. couldn't imagine any fto being treated like that! ask anybody else if you don't believe me
