5th gen Off Topic Thread (Official Ghustle thread v1)
I got this bomb *** hoe w/ some stanky gushy...how much you'll knock off lol.
IDK if i should be happy at my MPG but i am a lil surprised... 357 (tach was started exactly 7miles late) and still a lil more to go... sure i want more but with 2 bad o2 sensors (actually not even hooked up) 1 primary and 1 secondary and a huuuuuge exhaust leak (sounds like open headers) im very surprised to be getting this much... especially when my old 5.5 is getting 320 and ranmass is getting 380 with his bad tune but so much more breather mods
Throw me an offer if you are serious. But do keep in mind the car needs body work and paint. Otherwise the parts alone in it exceed what I had in mind for it.
Haltech,SSR,Tial,Wilwood,HKS, and etc. No cheap or fake knock-off parts.
Don't get me wrong, they're a blast. When you want to go fast. But when you're just wanting to cruise around, they get kind of old and tiresome. My buddy has a '07 Mustang with the 4.0 V6 Pony Package. It looks good, but MAN is that thing a drag to be stuck in for hours on end. The seats are comfortable...but it's loud, noisy and bumpy.
-OMG SOOO TRUEEE
That's why I'm so content with my G35. I know everyone on here likes to dog on it being "slow," but it's still quicker than your average commuter car. So it has enough oomph to go when I want to, but it's also comfortable and refined if I just want to go cruising. Which is also a big plus on long road trips.
-But you're not better off than a Maxima, which is why we bag on it so hard
For what it's worth, the G37 is nearly as punchy as most of the domestic muscle cars out there. It just isn't delivered in that same break-your-beck fashion, because the powerband is more linear, and there's so much more refinement to the VQ37 than there is to most of those small block V8's.
-Can't even compare, apples to oranges, the VQ37VHR is in a league of elite motors w/ VVEL.

And I <3 Solid Rear Ends
Don't want my suspension geometry to go all wishy washy through corners, BOFF of my tires stay planned (planted).

Reason to why Legit wheels > Cheap or knock-offs.
It's all about the end result. Good luck trying to achieve something like this with XXR or anything of that nature.

le sigh.
Don't care enough about silly aftermarket rims to argue it anymore.
I find most of this stuff really stupid at times.
Why you always see me on OEM wheels unless there's a genuine reason for me not to (for eg. my 12 lb racing wheels which are gram light knockoffs tyvm and they've seen off road action on the road course and been to stupid silly speeds and served the red car well to it's last track day).

Work VS-XX.
It is just when you are trying to achieve the perfect look, every piece of the puzzle has to be perfect and fit.
And when you have money to spend, this is not an issue.
You calling my 4th gen ****ty while your 5th gen well let's not go there. My daily 5.5 gen that is almost stock looks cleaner then your turd bucket.
I've been getting close to 400 on a tank with about a 14.5-15 gallon refill, less if I'm heavier on the throttle. I do a lot of highway driving and thus a lot of coasting on the hills though. I'm sure that helps a ton. I think if I was all city I'd be lucky to even see 300...
Clashez will never understand. He is too slow to get it. I can make it very simple:This car is on real Volk TE37, got national attention for it, even has a feature on Fatlace.
This car is on Varrestoens and bags has a good local reputation and thats where it ends:
Both cars are local to me, I know the owners of both and both have attended the same meets. One has alot more praise than the other. Plain and simple.
You have a sh1tty high mileage car.le sigh.

I personally don't get it, I know what this whole culture is inspired from but they've taken it and ruined the whole idea, the whole reason for being low, the whole reason for being flush all came from real race cars and real racing.
And then it just evolved into this whole dumb *** thing that it is today w/ spending money on overpriced wheels and making the car so low it's useless, just a hard parker, which is what everyone is into now, useless cars, essentially just big *** expensive toys that can't be played with, like collectors action figures in the box or something.
The perfect look? Looking silly?

They are show cars. They are done all for show NOT performance, as soon as you say "oh they cant perform" yea well duh they cant perform they get caught on the smallest cracks in the road. Just like you cant really knock a lowrider for what it is this is the same concept but a different style.
Oh trust me I prefer being able to utilize the performance aspect of a car > then hardparking it at events and car shows. That gets old real quick. However I still give credit to people that do it properly especially if it is a daily driver
I want a set. They look gooood on the G. 
At least someone gets it.
You might be able to go fast on a smooth, freshly paved road, but that's only in a straight line. Outside of that, you've got nothing.
Dont think of it as performance. Ghustle especially needs to stfu talking about stanced cars can perform THEY CANNOT. Sliding around a parking lot with fcuked up rear camber is not performance, he needs to get that straight.

Show me a fake wheel that looks as sexy as the weds I posted.
This. I'm all for a functional car. But a nicely done stanced vehicle always gets to me. Especially one that can perform too atleast as a daily driver.
Because real wheels pwn fake wheels. But some people refuse to accept that. I'm not saying that people shouldn't buy fake wheels at all. And I'm not saying that they can't look good. I'm just saying that real wheels are better.

Weds tc105 and other Weds wheels look sexy. Too bad they do not make anything in 5x120
Yeah, I just wish I could buy a pair or at least a NON staggered set, that's all that comes up FS in Houston anyways (calling CJANDURRAAAAA).
17x8s +35 would be awesome... I'd be ballin so hard @ the track omgggg...
Don't let clashez get to you, he'll bring you to the darkside.

Exactly. And its only fast once your car start rolling, you cant even launch the b1tch because your stupid camber and over lowering made the contact patch so small and suspension has no give in it. Just forget about cornering period.
17x8s? oh cmon man you gotta do better than that. Get 17x9s or 9.5s.
