I think with purple black would be better...the primer grey is such a contrasting color...it accents the gaps between the hood and the fenders and the front bumper...the black would hide all that til you get it painted.

So you planning on doing any motor mods?

 

hell yeah: heads, cam, intake manif., throttle body, headers, possible *dual* exhaust... possible 6 speed swap... all kinds of stuff in the future

 

Yes, I've heard of it. I was a member on their board before they shut it down. Maybe they have reopened it since......But I've still never heard anyone call it p-town. Big deal. 2nd, don't disrespect me by saying I can't swing my LS1 as good as your V6 First of all, you WAY undershot my horsepower, unlike you I've had my car dynoed, and am running much more than that. 3rd, I don't WANT to SWING my car!!! I like my car and don't want to risk swinging it into something! So f--- off about the donut skill Because I don't care.

Antioch, only city in CA where you don't have to work for what they get.....?!?!? Where the f are you getting your info man? I've lived in Antioch for 17 years, this is not f---ing Beverley Hills.

 

You have got to be kidding me. I thought his remark (the exact part I QUOTED) was funny, and no one had put it that way. It was just a different way of thinking about it that I had not thought of before. Get over it. I still think it could be considered a production car (technically). Thats just my opinion and I'll leave it at that. End of Kit car Coversation for me. Done, finished, no more for me. Don't care anymore cuz its pointless.

Those kits fully assembled tip the scales around 2,000 lbs. It will friggin move! You take a motor in any car, remove 1,000 lbs from the weight it needs to pull, and it will make a huge difference. The Kit with the motor, and new track tires could probably hit high 11s just because of the weight and huge rear tires. If not high 11's, then low 12s. Light weight is just as good as horsepower if you lose enough of it.


If I had the money to spare......Hell yeah! Of course, I would opt for a Chevy motor........but I'd do it if I could. I don't care if its a kit, it still looks and performs like a real Cobra, good enough for me.



Oh and Antioch has two zip codes: 94509, and 94531

 

Ok. Trust your opinion all you want. I won't. Guess that makes us even.

Stereotyping is your friend, I see.

LOL. Should I pull of the demographics of Pittsburg, CA and prove you wrong? Got clout?

See stereotyping comment above. Also, not that "all" and "everyone" are absolutes, and will come back to bite you, "most" of the time.

Wow. A $400 fix-em up paint and body job? Sounds like a real winner.

I see.

Sounds like normal town USA, not some wierdo place in California that has some unique automotive culture. But then again, I've been wrong before....just please don't get too upset if I don't take your word for it.

BTW...you conveniently dodged the $6000 Fox body comment rebuttle in which your own data proved you very much incorrect. Again.

Cute. Have a wonderful day.

It seems that FACTS aren't your strong suit. Maybe you should just stick to uninformed opion.

 

big time!

 

Facts arent yours either.... by the figures you stated, that would equal a 119.94% population........ how the hell does that work? always thought the ceiling was at 100%..... maybe a recount? or maybe that site is full of ****.... ask jeff whats in pittsburg.... those demographics dont count the illegal immigrants in the area... and believe me.. there are plenty...

and to you.... good buddy.... why is it that your only defense to my comment about antioch being a town of rich ******... is "Where the f are you getting your info man? I've lived in Antioch for 17 years, this is not f---ing Beverley Hills" ??? what the hell is that? there are probably more bums walkin around out there than here.... (and i dont care what your "demographics" say, nobody can accurately count the amount of bums in a city...) i still have a hard time understanding why thats all you could come up with... maybe... because im right? antioch is a town where everyones daddy buys em what they have, and the punks dont work for sh*t! you are an exception.... you work, and your car is about HALF of what it is today because of money that you earned to put into it... the other half? think about it... all im saying, is that with my budget, and the fact that your more likely to be struck by lightning than be struck with a job opportunity..... its a HELL of a lot harder to do what the majority of antioch does to their cars..... so please, watch your mouth.... ive worked hard to get to where im at, and if you fuc*ers with your brand new cars with $20 grand under the hood wanna talk down on me because i just cant afford to pump 400+ HP out of my car... you can go to hell... im sick of posers, and snobs... people that act cool with you, and only come around to show you all the new money they spent on their car, and dismiss themselves as soon as that subject is worn out... or the people who only come around wanting something... and never call you again till they need you again...

i aint the person i used to be jeff... sh*t like that rolled off my back like it was nothing.... however, like any container, ive reached my capacity of bullsh*t... time so sling some of it back to where it came from.....

 

lmfao! best thread EVAR!

 

I paid $3400 for my 1990 Mustang back in 1997 with 117,000 miles and fully loaded. Back then it looked good and was in good condition.

 

Or maybe you are. Hey Goofy, if you would have bothered to read the link, you'd have noticed the following line at the bottom of the data:

"(Total can be greater than 100% because Hispanics could be counted in other races)"

Stereotyping is (once again) your friend. Actually it is ours, because it gives us more fodder to throw back at you.

Thank you for the entertainment.

 

Uh, oh, he's thinking again. Or at least he *thinks* he's thinking... like Bob said, go to the site. It's pretty standard for any large population demographics to total over 100% due to being counted in multiple categories. Not that I would have expected you to know that

As far as Antioch...
Median household income in Pittsburg: $50,557 (year 2000)
Median household income in Antioch:_ $60,359 (year 2000)

Median house value in Pittsburg: $165,100 (year 2000)
Median house value in Antioch:_ $196,600 (year 2000)

Even YOU should be able to see that there simply isn't a vast disparity (that means a big difference) between the two cities in either median income or house values.

 

lmao at housing prices in the bay area from 4 1/2 YEARS ago! while i doubt that there is a huge disparity between those two areas, the prices seem a bit low.

 

yeah, your right.... once again demographics show their retarded side.... my house is estimated at 360,000........ and im sure jeffs house is worth about 550 - 600,000 if not more.... lafayette? you would be lucky to get a house like mine in lafayette for under $1,000,000....... so yah... your demos are a bit off...even for 2000... houses here were going for $290,000 in 2000 but i guess thats an average number, considering the BAD areas of town have houses for 60,000....

as for the ratio of blacks and mexicans here? even if you just counted the blacks, and the hispanics, it equals over 50%.... now count in the people who are mixed, and the illegal ones... and your lookin at a number probably just shy of my 80% guess... probably a 75% or so...considering those with "2 or more races" are usually "Black and white mixed"


and here is another funny thing.... im white as hell... so i guess i would fall into the "white non-hispanic" section... right? wrong.... im puerto rican and portuguese.... **** demographics... its an estimate...based on what people TOLD them, and how many of them cooperated... when people run a census around here, they literally go door to door for info... at least i know my block got hit by census runners a few years ago... and its all on what you tell them.... you think a house with 2 rooms and 15 occupants is going to tell them the truth about who lives there and where they are from? please...... try to use your brain man... at least try....

 

Hello? Is anyone home? You're trying to argue statistics when you don't even know what MEDIAN means? Median means that 1/2 of the houses cost less than the value, and 1/2 cost more. In an even number of cases, it's the average of the two middle values. It is NOT equal to the average, unless it's by sheer circumstance.

Per DataQuick Real Estate news, the median (ZeeDub, that means MIDDLE) home price in Pittsburg in 2000 was... drumroll please...
Pittsburg $158,000 -- by god, that's very close to the other cited source. Yet you say they were going for $290K.

As I alluded to earlier, you and facts should become more friendly with each other. You hardly seem to know each other at this point.
