ok, i'll call it a potato cannon. Happy? lol. but really, I wouldn't use that as a coffee can since i don't drink coffee and i don't like the taste of exhaust. And as for whale ****** . . . I never knew they were that big!

*Mr. Wyndham* · 08-20-2007, 10:31 PM

only a Ricer would know...

We prefer multiple, rather than one big one...

I'm sorry I had to!

EllwynX · 08-20-2007, 10:32 PM

I've always called them Coffee Can Exhausts.

Never heard 'Spud Gun' before.

Though I find 'Grocery Cart Wing' much more descriptive than Book Shelf. LOL

*Mr. Wyndham* · 08-20-2007, 10:35 PM

Park Bench? Guide Dog handle?

I like the Shopping cart handle, though...it implies you need to push the car...

I can't see the pics, so maybe they answer my question, but how about a "major" mod list...is it a single conversion? Stock fuel/metering?

*KILLER74Z28* · 08-21-2007, 12:28 AM

Let’s see…

Weed eater exhaust...

Pissed off hornet simulator…

Never heard potato launcher and/or spud cannon…

Nice ride, always had a thing for the Supra...

Well, if it makes you happy...I'm gonna go out to the garage, stick a potato in there, and see if I can't get a good launch out of it.

I might be able to hit that damn dog across the street that's been barking all night!:(

Oh, that's great - make sure you get it on video, haha!

*Mindz* · 08-21-2007, 01:32 AM

the terms I use are park bench for the spoiler (but only if it's metal or carbon, the molded one that comes with the supra is more like the superbird/bee spoiler from the 69/70.

The exhaust is normally a Folger's can. Either way, the only time I'll ever make fun of a supra is if it's non turbo. They're still fasst, but anyone with a turbo supra is FAST in the world of ricers with plain stock.

*Mr. Wyndham* · 08-21-2007, 01:34 AM

If they're fast in the world of ricers, what are they in the Pony Car world?
Pavement?

"Had to do it"

*Mindz* · 08-21-2007, 01:40 AM

Depends on what they have. If they have money, It'd go either way against a modded camaro or mustang. Stock for stock, I'd say probably a second or two slower than a SS camaro. But last time I checked, the supra was selling for a few grand less than it's pony car counterpart so with that extra grand, the supra could catch up. Plus it looks better a 4th gen and handles better too, especially stock for stock

NOW: THESE are ricers. Ricers are basically anyone who mods their car for looks as opposed to speed.
If you have a park bench and ground effects, but a stock muffler, you are a ricer.
If you've sunk 10+ grand into your import and haven't hit 13 seconds in the quarter, you are a ricer.

I feel like Jeff Foxworthy now....

EDIT: BTW I have plenty more car pics.

Thank God you have a sense of humor! and you can dish it back too...

BTW, great pix you have of the Supra. Like I said before, there was a time when I wanted to pick one of those up...had it not have been for $$$...it would have been mine. Very nice.

Lotsa misinformation here, but hey....that's why I'm here!

In fact, the 93-98 Supra turbo, in STOCK form, outperformed all the f-bodies, mustangs and other imports of it's time, with ridiculous numbers:
0-60 in 4.6 seconds...12 second quarter mile...
however, they cost an arm and a leg @ $38-45K a pop.
Hence the halt in production.

(Or, you could buy the non turbo model for around $25-30K...
and get beat by a V6 Firebird.)
lol

In either case, you'd be pretty hard pressed to find a completely stock Supra these days, being they are bulletproof monster engines that beg for huge power.

As far as an SS Camaro is concerned, I can tell you...they taste like chicken.
:p
