I've heard the faster you want to go each second costs a hell of a lot more just looking for some good examples.

ayuaddict · 05-11-2008, 02:09 PM

like...

for cooking?

masturbation?

automobile racing?

**ThatGuy** · 05-11-2008, 02:27 PM

You want to go slow, buy a cheap razor blade.

You want to go fast, buy a handgun and a hollow point.

Yep, it gets more expensive.

Tops* · 05-11-2008, 02:37 PM

Yeah, ball bearing is the way to go.

My Raider sleeps for a pretty long time.

Don't cheap out and get a Fireball.

You'll hate yourself once you start doing advanced tricks.

its like a mad lib thing

fill in the blanks and shit.

Baka Sama · 05-11-2008, 03:01 PM

You forgot the variable of luxury. Speed and money will both increase on a linear graph until you add luxury into the equation. In which case, the more luxury you add the more money you spend and speed increases at a much slower rate.

A flux capacitor is the way to go in terms of cost vs. effectiveness.

what you do is steal plutonium to run it from russians, then go back in time and invest in microsoft in google to pay them off.

**Phlip** · 05-11-2008, 03:08 PM

Semiautomatics jam
Automatics less so
Revolvers need to be fully loaded, and cost the least

... wait, what were we talking about?

and as for the flux capacitor we dont have them in sc yet can you send me your.lol

***S14DB*** · 05-11-2008, 03:09 PM

Microwave meals are much cheaper than gourmet cooking and faster.

Edit:

Oh, Drag Racing.

NOS is cheap and fast.

Infamax · 05-11-2008, 03:20 PM

This flux capacitor business is very difficult to deal with, seeing as you can possibly alter time and/or go into a different dimension. I can't send you one without knowing you're properly trained.

As far as the OG topic goes, the faster you wnat to go, the more it will cost. Obviously in order to get a faster time, in terms of seconds, you need to upgrade your set-up. In order to upgrade your set-up you need to buy more parts, and buying parts cost. So, yes, the faster you wanna go, the more it will cost.

There are things you can do to slightly increase your time, but not by seconds. Stripping the car of unnecessary weight, adjusting suspension settings(if possible with your set-up), and learning to launch and shift your car better will help you shave time off. Minor modifications to your car that you can do free of cost will help your time, but not by a lot, there is only so much you can do without upgrading.

Baka Sama · 05-11-2008, 03:21 PM

Still dont know what you are trying to say. Can you please form your thought in the form of a question.

**ThatGuy** · 05-11-2008, 03:23 PM

Remember Kiddies, you can only pick two:

Fast
Cheap
Reliable

Matej · 05-11-2008, 04:55 PM

OP didn't mention reliability, so we're free to go in the cheap/fast direction

i vote IROC-Z with nos and open headers

pr0ject TRUENO · 05-11-2008, 05:30 PM

Quoted for the truth

Fast and Cheap will not be Reliable
Cheap and Reliable will not be Fast
Reliable and Fast will not be Cheap

Dirty Habit · 05-11-2008, 05:46 PM

Take it slow and wrap it up.

i think a lot of import cars are "FEEL fast". which means you can enjoy the feeling of racing at legal speed (i.e. civic)

to OP: yes that is true

driven by this guy

can be cheap, reliable, and fast. except when he blows his motor in stage 2. LOL

Andrew Bohan · 05-11-2008, 06:25 PM

a built ka, sr or rb s chassis is cheap enough, and fast imo!

cheap? not really
fast? not compared to a v8 with the same amount of money invested
reliable? haha...you don't have an s-chasis do you?

Andrew Bohan · 05-11-2008, 06:33 PM

i think we need to define what cheap, reliable, and fast mean

to me, cheap is under $10k not including the price of the car.
reliable means 100k miles with only usual maintenance. no blown turbos, no spun bearings, no thrown rods. none of that stuff.
fast means under 10 seconds on drag, or a really good time on a road course, for example under 2 minutes at thunderhill

i don't think you can put together a car that does all three of those.
