Like, fish? or the MFK logo?
Fish would be cool.
A skyline with an arowana on the side would like sexy.

LOL, shylines are pussy cars. Get a Corvette, a real mans car. Or if u have a few bucks going around, a lambo murciealago. One of the ultimate MFK sponser cars.

hahahahaha you do know a skyline not 'shyline' would beat all those cars in most areas of racing Just because they are worth more dose not necessarily mean they are a better 'mans' car a 'Mans' car is not determined by its leather interior its Italian design its light weight carbon fiber chassie but by its power its sound its size.
But if you are looking for a show car you cant go past a dodge viper a monster in its own right and covers most areas of what is detimermid a 'Mans' car.

lol i no someone beat me to it but why the hell would anyone buy a corvette over a skyline? a slightly modded skyline is better acceleration, faster top speed, better looking, better handling and there real nice to sit in unlike the plastic pallace that is a corvette.
the only answer is you must be crazy :screwy:

CORVETTE
01-14-2009, 5:59 PM
Wow i have yet to see a moded skyline beat a corvette don't get me wrong skyline's a qwick little cars but there no vette. Corvettes are a mans car a cross between muscle car and sports car.... Skylines are for 110 pound kids who can't afford a nice car.... but i am really looking forward to seeing your design on what ever car you do buy.
uncwnells
01-14-2009, 6:01 PM
lol why are you people talking about dodge vipers and corvettes in the same sentence with lambos and skylines...
Cant wait to see the MFK paint job, thanks for letting us know a couple years in advance!
skylines are nearly the price of stock vettes
a vette would kill a skyline in a 1/8 mile run if both were stock but the skyline would run way better in a 1/2 mile
id choose the vette because it would be the american thing to do :)
but i really like the OPs idea
pics definitely needed :D

I would never mess with the paint of a lambo or Ferrari, they look good the way they are.
A skyline would be more fitting for an aro, because it's and Asian car with an Asian fish, and it looks good when modded.
Who mods a lambo? i wouldn't touch the body of one if i had one, maybe some engine upgrades but thats about it.
But anyways, back on topic,
it would look cool, can't wait to see it.

i wasn't saying you should should get a viper just saying it would suit a Mfk sponsor car more than a Lamborghini and a corvette which is what Eric was saying.
But also a Saleen would suit the profile very well also look forward to seeing more of this thread.

i understand lol totaly its just when people go from fast cars.. stangs vipers corvettes.. to friggin lambos and skylines.... whos gunna waste time importing a skyline to america for over 60 G's or buy a lambo for 200 Gs when i can grab a cobra or saleen and throw the extra cash in and have a death machine... my current cobra is retarted fast... plus im a Ford man so if i upgraded it would be a Ford Gt
BigDaddyMagnum
01-15-2009, 12:49 PM
and to be honest whoever mentioned skylines... maybe after you dump 95 gs into a skyline there fast.. stock R34 only have 215......so if you take a stock R34 and Stock 04 Cobra and give both owners 40 Gs.... the Cobra would spank the Skyline..... Hard....plus the skyline owner payed way more for his car meaning the cobra owner actually has more moeny to play with inthe end run... Ricers=Good Next To A Slab Of Turkey With Beans covering...... American Muscle= A Way Of Life.... Anyone came throw a twin turbo on a 100 pound car and make it go fast... now taking a heavy ass american car and making it barrel down the strip.. takes pride and it pays off when you compare the ricers exhaust sound to that of american muscle...... and thats that

Man, you guys should stick to fish LOL. Also, lets not throw the term "Ricer" around so much :)
I've got a vinyl guy that did all my work on my Z for me, and my bike also. I've been looking to do something on my truck. I was gonna incorporate some MFK stuff somewhere :D
BigDaddyMagnum
01-16-2009, 2:27 AM
your right we shouldnt use the term ricer.. how about... soap box on wheels instead.....? It took the "Ricers" till the 90s to make a nice car lmao thats embarrassing the americans were doin it from the 50's.......not one jap car is fast without Forced Induction...... all sound like fart cannons...... only time there glorified is in the fast and the furious movies lol thats something to laugh about.....

Eric the Ricer
01-16-2009, 2:55 AM
Import companies could easily make a fast N/A car. Their logic is this:
FI a lower displacement engine, reliable, better gas mileage, and more importantly a hell of a lot cheaper. Barely anybody is out looking to buy 400hp cars (I am lol).
I'm a die-hard American Muscle fan, the first car I bought was a 1990 Corvette Convertible. I picked up an 03 350Z when I got out of tech school. I had more fun modding that car than I EVER did with my 'Vette. I traded my Z in about 3 months ago for a brand new Dodge Ram. My next car that I'm picking up will be a C5 Z06.
Basically what I'm saying is, you shouldnt be so closed minded when it comes to imported cars. Also, the term "Ricer" is used about an individual, not a car.
Eric the Ricer
01-16-2009, 3:00 AM
Also, I don't think my car sounds like a "fart cannon". It's got a nice sound for a V6

As for the GTR comment, that badboy ran a 7:29 at the 'ring, BONE stock. Only 3 seconds slower than the Blown LS9 ZR1, and 7 seconds slower than an ACR Viper, with suspension and aero mods.
Now, lets compare prices, shall we???
New GTR - 75k
New ZR1 - 105k
New SRT10 ACR - 95k

Eric the Ricer
01-16-2009, 12:54 PM
I agree on American Heritage, Imports can't compare to raw power. If I could go back before I bought the Z, and not been as impulsive I'd be driving a C5 Z06 for sure.
I've owned a 240sx also :) '93 Coupe.

Not to mention what imports did to the street racing scene! (No I dont mean 3 or 4 idiots racing at the same time or doin donuts everywhere) Up to the early 90s we could load up our car, meet on deserted road, industrial park, or hang out, talk sh*t, make a nice bet, and get our race on. Now if you can find a spot, Its stupid lil punks, music blarring, girls dancin on cartops, and cops that will impound and crush your car.

I would think if MFK were to do a site car, it should be a Tiburon. It's more or less the only fish named car out there.
Maybe all car guys on the site should just add the logo to there own race cars, and be proud of the work they've put into them. (And then have an annual MFK track day somewhere.)
Just a thought.

Wow this got off topic quick. Never been a huge Mustang fan myself (other than the 69 Mach1) but I've definitely got to go with the American side. My 86 Grand National will eat imports alive and weighs three times as much. I think the MFK theme would be cool but I couldn't bring myself to change my car from straight black.

(to zoodivers)
and Magnum, over my lifespan (which is short) I've helped my Dad rebuild 2 78's, an 82, my 90, and his current 78 pace car. We rebuilt an 87 XJS from the heads up (V12, pain in the AZZ), and a few other small block chevys here and there.

I just want to say that this thread has gotten my mind going. I also build models as a hobby a long with the fish and other stuff. I'm looking at a 1969 Ford Shelby Mustang GT500 and I want to get a decal program so i can make my own decals to put on cars. I think making it with MFK markings would be awesome.

Dunno. I am pretty sure a 2008 corvette ZO6 would beat a skyline gtr in a 1/4 mile.
Who cares anyway, everyone has there own tastes. TBH I would prefer a nicely done up early holden, like a HK monaro restored and a killer 800hp under the hood.

Bullcrap.
Any youngster? Take me for example. I hate jap imports. The only jap I would like is a S2000 with a mid mounted Lexus V8.
But something more relestic would be the above HK monaro.

I don't know man. I've been a Ford guy for my entire driving life and frankly, I'm getting sick of fixing them. I love my F150's but there's always something going wrong with them. Then there's my fox body (first car-still own it) I love that car, but when I was building it, there were all these year specific parts like bell housings and so on... Chevy doesn't have that problem. Every other bolt in the thing was metric, the rest were english, and I bought the car from the original owner(my then 60 something year old grandmother), this thing was a factory as it gets. Why couldn't Ford just pick one or the other and go with it?
Through college I drove an S-10, bought it for 1200, lasted 4.5 years before the body started falling apart. Ran like a top to the day it was crushed, never even burned oil. I replaced a water pump and heater core the whole time I owned it. Best vehicle ever. All of my fords have either taken a frustrating amount of time or money to keep on the road.
I might switch after I'm done with the F-150 I have now. (I'll always keep my car.)

Compare the corvette to the GT.. the ford GT destroyed a dodge viper on live tv .. stock in a quarter mile, so trust me a GT would crush a corvete..thats all you chevy lovers can love is the corvette..... truth be told chevy switches there engines so many times there more confused than anyone.. ford still keeps the same ass pounding engines day in and day out... by the way i dont recall chevy winning the Lemans as many times as ford.... yea.......

dont bring that skyline crap in here man lol just dont do it......... skylines are pieces of ****..... no heritage behind it.... the japs are sucky car makers... everything needs to be turbo'd to go fast...... it took them since the last skyline stopped production till now to make a fast skyline? cause the other skylines were ****, 215 from the dealers lmao thats histerical, so finally in 2009 they make a fast car? the Americans been doing it since the late 40s..... for every fast skyline you find i could find a muscle car that can spank it.... a buddy of mine has a 71 BOSS 429 that brutally crushed an Evo..... so a car with 71 technology beat a car with 06 technology... just goes to show how ****ty imports are..... all garbage...... and everyone needs to stop with the "Imports handle better" bull****, noone races on a track, they do it on the highway.. A STRAIGHT LINE... this isnt the fast in the furious where people race through streets..... The drag race is all that matters..... 1 quarter mile at a time...
they are replacing the skyline with the GTR, which is the same engine but with more power. v6 twin turbo

lmao ..... A CORVETTE IS A SUPER CAR A MUSTANG IS A PONY CAR, i knew someone would compare a corvette to a mustang..... Compare the corvette to the GT.. the ford GT destroyed a dodge viper on live tv .. stock in a quarter mile, so trust me a GT would crush a corvete..thats all you chevy lovers can love is the corvette..... truth be told chevy switches there engines so many times there more confused than anyone.. ford still keeps the same ass pounding engines day in and day out... by the way i dont recall chevy winning the Lemans as many times as ford.... yea.......
bravo!!! mustang spanks the camaro in sales and looks. buddy of mine has a brand new saleen mustang and a mustang boss, amazing cars

I don't know man. I've been a Ford guy for my entire driving life and frankly, I'm getting sick of fixing them. I love my F150's but there's always something going wrong with them. Then there's my fox body (first car-still own it) I love that car, but when I was building it, there were all these year specific parts like bell housings and so on... Chevy doesn't have that problem. Every other bolt in the thing was metric, the rest were english, and I bought the car from the original owner(my then 60 something year old grandmother), this thing was a factory as it gets. Why couldn't Ford just pick one or the other and go with it?
Through college I drove an S-10, bought it for 1200, lasted 4.5 years before the body started falling apart. Ran like a top to the day it was crushed, never even burned oil. I replaced a water pump and heater core the whole time I owned it. Best vehicle ever. All of my fords have either taken a frustrating amount of time or money to keep on the road.
I might switch after I'm done with the F-150 I have now. (I'll always keep my car.)
no offense man, but some cars come out lemons cause in all my years of owning fords, never had a problem..... to be honest..... i mean a few things here and there but nothing half as bad as you say.....

I don't know, I bought my latest F150 last spring and put $1500 worth of "common Ford repairs" into over the summer. Sort of a heartbreaker really. I'm on a Ford Forum, just to help me diagnose problems with a couple of my trucks, and it seems so many of them have the same "Ford" problems.
My car has been good to me, but I built it by hand. Like I said there's just a lot of weird things that ford did over the years. Chevy parts are interchangeable, hook up a 60's engine to a 90's tranny and they bolt up, not ford's. You need year specific parts... and so on.
I love Ford and drive ford, but sometimes I wish I spent less time with a wrench in my hand.

Used to have a ford and you couldnt even change the break pads without special tools. and that should be a simple job. ill never own one again unless its a mustang or a gt (which are prettymuch all ford has).

nice choice of dream car. would that be the saleen s7 TT that goes 0-60 is 2.8 seconds?
Yup. The hard part would be getting it to aus. Well not really hard but a little on the pocket.
and btw eric, a skyline could prolly beat a corvette anywhere else but the drag strip, but it may even beat it there too
Yeah I know, but corvettes can do donuts, and kick ass burnouts. Thats all that counts. A modded skyline would kick a corvette's arse on the dyno.
im sorry but these two pictures are eye candy to me.
Ha, one of dads mates owns a monaro. The car that pontiac changed the bumper on and called it there own. :ROFL:
I wouldn't mind a Dodge Ram pickup. The problem would be fuel costs.

Eric A
01-26-2009, 10:56 PM
You heart it? What does that mean?
Model? Monaro is the model, holden is the make. HSV (holden special vehicles) does a ramped up version called a GTO.

I would think if MFK were to do a site car, it should be a Tiburon. It's more or less the only fish named car out there.
Maybe all car guys on the site should just add the logo to there own race cars, and be proud of the work they've put into them. (And then have an annual MFK track day somewhere.)
Just a thought.
corvette stingray. Go old school. lol Sorry for the slight derail but I want to see this happen with your car you must post pics.

It will happen. I'm not sure if I'll be at the Feb race in Texas due to plan changes today. But it will be sporting black Monsterfishkeepers.com across both sides of the lower door panals when it hits the track. Car is also going to the national Ford party/show/race in April and hoping to be in the Mustang's Across America drive if I get free from work.
BTW - This is on the Roush, not the Mach 1.
Wow i have yet to see a moded skyline beat a corvette don't get me wrong skyline's a qwick little cars but there no vette. Corvettes are a mans car a cross between muscle car and sports car.... Skylines are for 110 pound kids who can't afford a nice car.... but i am really looking forward to seeing your design on what ever car you do buy.
you must be on something. A corvette Z06 will run you near $50,000
a skyline from Japan rightside drive will cost $30,000 but to ship and do all neccessary paperwork it will cost more than that z06. Ive never owned a skyline but from seeing a friends one it sure can hang..and if you can afford a skyline you are definitely not a KID who cannot afford a NICE CAR. if ur gona insult skyline because it is not Domestic you m ust be white

I've only done a few drag cars. I learned quickly that road course/open track cars (like this one) take more know how and a much more fun in the long run. I'd rather spend all afternoon running full out for three or four 20 min sessions rather than spend all afternoon waiting line to make four or five 11 second passes down the quarter mile.
I have built a supercharged Explorer. That was a fun little truck to play with.

Big daddy i like that you are dedicating your car to MFK, so props on you.
and everyone else who is comparing cars.
Japan have a way different mindset then the US, or European cars.
they are about fuel economy, and also the government limited their cars to only have 280hp stock.
Also whoever is dogging on Force induction. name one race team in nascar, that doesn't used force induction.
Forced induction will always be better then N/A.
You get more horsepower, while reducing weight.

"limited" meaning restricted via ECU/fueling/airflow. cars sold outside of japan are not under the "rule" and thus will find different engine configs/spec. In any case the guideline was not in writting as i understood, rather a gentleman's agreement between car makers and govt. The guideline is no longer enforced.
Didnt have time to rummage thru all 13 pages. are there sketches of what this mustang will look like?
