Streetfighter style car club name... which one sounds meanest.

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

alright.. first and formost.. thank you to Steve of Twist machine to
putting me on to the streetfighter mentality.. if i hadnt seen his car and others like it my build wouldnt be the same.. thus spawning this idea for a club of that genre. with all luck this is going to be a mix of the hardened style of pro touring..

so i got my idea somewhat out there and hearing opinions and have been tinkering on some names..

personally i just cant stand the simple "old car club of georgia" or "camaro guys" and "fuzzy dice boys" type names..

being that the club is maybe more of a hardcore type of platform to be on with these cars i think a more aggressive name is in order..

so the names i thought of were these..


Bend Brawlers

Turn Killers T.K.

Road Kult

Street Savages


i had a list that was long as hell.. so i narrowed them down to the best and baddest without sounding rediculous.. i think these have just enough aggressive but enough class to hold its weight.. and with multiple makes in mind.. So not strictly GM or mopar or ford whatever...

so.. with a streetfighter style ethic in mind.. which do you think suits a group of roughnecks better.


please vote!

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

oh and a nice quote from steve on his view of a streetfighter.


PT is but a small niche within the whole spectrum of Hot-Rodding. Growing to be sure, but still small. Within this group we still have sub-groups.

There are those who want an original looking car with a few modern performance touches that make the car more pleasant to drive.

There are those who want to seriously modernize every aspect of the look and feel of a car. Originality be damned.

There are those for whom this is just the current style of Hot Rod. Not unlike Pro-Street was not so many years ago. "Show-Touring" or "Pro-Tweed" if you will. ("Not that there is anything wrong with that.")

There are those who intend to run their cars at auto-x and Open Track events.

At the risk of inflaming the ire of some (It's not as if that has ever stopped me before) I'd like to start a discussion of a specific build type within the PT niche. I know we all resist labeling cars as this or that, but I think this style lends itself to a label more than others. If for no other reason than to explain to some rube why the heck you built it the way you did.

Streetfighter.

What is it?
What makes a car a "Streetfighter"?
Is it a look, or is it a deed? (Nature vs. Nurture?)

I'll give my opinion (and it's just that....and yes, it stinks just like yours) then open the floor for ya'all to chime in.

IMO, a "Streetfighter" is to PT what a chopper is to Harleys. Minimalist first and foremost. Sure it still has carpet, but there's no room here for DVD monitors. Performance should be the primary concern. Occupant comfort and the eardrums of the neihbors kids are secondary concerns. Retro or Modern theme is fair game, though I have a personal preferance for something that stylistically leans toward the old T/A cars. There is certainly room for a more modern look with a set of CCR's and bunch of carbon fiber as well.

The word itself conjurs up an image. "Street" implies that it actually gets used to it's potential, not merely waxed on Saturdays and parked on a lawn with a crying baby doll on Sunday ("Not that there's anything wrong with that.") It also implies an "edginess" something that might be a bit offensive to "normal" people. Remember how your parents reacted to the cover of that Sex Pistols album....that's the vibe. "Fighter" alludes to a car that has seen it's share of nicks and scuffs. Rock chips are fine, encouraged even. A couple of marks on a rocker panel from orange cones at the last auto-x are badges of honor, not detriments.

These are cars that get driven, hard. As such they should have appropriate safety equipment. Quality seats, properly installed. Harnesses, again...properly installed. Bonus points for cages, fuel cells and fire systems.

A buddy of mine found this website the other day with a couple of fine examples of the vibe:
http://web.mac.com/streetfytr/iWeb/T...ETFIGHTER.html

just in case folks are still kinda hazy.. i think he hit the nail pretty good.

I don't know... None of those are really "grabbing" me...

Any other ideas?

[Steve Chryssos]

Thanks for the kind words, Amir. I think True might deserve credit for that quote. Given your talents, I'm sure you will turn this concept into something big. I voted for Turn Killers, but let's see the list.
Up here we have an impromptu club called the Twisted Idiots. The only requirement for membership is a strong desire to get your car running. We don't discriminate between straight up pro-touring and streetfighters. The two disciplines flow together seamlessly. A Mad Max only vibe is cool as long as members are not required to wear open ass chaps.

Getting together every Tuesday night at the Twist shop boosts our car building experience tremendously. Our place is no where near as fancy as Bill Howell's joint, but at least we have a workbench (Oops! I'm in trouble now :scared: ).

Put me down for satellite membership in your club.

[5hundo]

Kaos Inc.
Damage Devision


That's better...

I like these two the best... :cool:

...but, it's "division", unless you're trying to make it more cool by mispelling it... :dunno:

(you know, like "Metal Mullisha" or "Limp Bizkit" :rotfl: )

[Damn True]

Angry men in kilts.


I mean, nobody wants to mess with a dude in a dress.

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

whoops.. DIVISION!

yikes True.. just yikes.. ahahha

[rlplive]

Damage division sounds pretty sick to me.

[sixty8]

How about "Streetfighters USA" with chapters for the different states, a bit along the lines of the biker Angel club. After all, the street fighter concept did originate from the stripped down bikes where horsepower was the goal (in the UK). By having the chapters your club grows across the country without people thinking it's only GA specific. What do you think ?

[SatisTraction]

the idea seems a little "Ricey" & to "fast and furious" to me.

[5hundo]

whoops.. DIVISION!

yikes True.. just yikes.. ahahha

I'd have hated to see you rush out and order T-shirts only to realize that error...

Glad I could help... :geek:

[bigvegan]

Um, isn't there something inherently unbadass about picking the meanest car club name via an internet poll?
:poke:

EDIT - Missed SatisTraction's post making the same point.

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

well if we were all sitting at a open camp fire with a spear in one hand and a turkey leg in the other then i would agree...

but id like to get an idea from other folks about a NAME.

and as folks on here were saying about being part of the pt.com thing.. dont you think it might help to get ideas from "like minded folks"

so help me out here..

[mongoose]

i'd have to agree with these guys.... having a mean name.. does seem rather poser-ish.... not saying there isn't fast car in the clan.. er group?..club?

but.. imo... i'd rather see a harmless name.. like.. jennys miata club( ok bad example) then have fire breathing tire burning cars behind it.... ie let the cars to the talking... sorta what a streetfighter is about.



don't the quiet dogs always bite the hardest?

[69Nova]

So far I like Bend Brawlers, Bend brigade, Battle Squad and Bend Butchers. That probably does not help out at all thought. LOL!

[72LeMans]

how about Road Warriors

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

yea.. but when i design the logos and such.. "jennys miata club" or "muscle car cruisers of the usa" will look pretty corny... AND will blend in.. the Streetfighter style isnt blending at all.. so does that make sense to have a name that blends with good ol jenny?

im trying to deviate from whats the norm.. especially in the musclecar genre.. i know you guys know what im talking about.

theres enough bellys, white ts and jean shorts with names like that and are all about only driving to the cruise nights.. crybaby dolls?..

do you think we need ANOTHER NAME like that except it consists of streetfighter cars?

now please... the crew will have a name.. and Id like you guys choice on this..
if you dont like the idea.. just dont POST!.. seems like folks just want to kick dirt on the idea.
so i guess im doing the right thing.. but cmon guys.. you could at least give me a hand!.. if not then relax.

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

how about Road Warriors

man did that cross mind...:smoke: seriously.

[72LeMans]

or Blacktop Brawlers

[69Nova]

or Blacktop Brawlers

I like that one. That way it keeps it open to badass street/strip cars,

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

i was about to say that too..

[Benoit23]

I'm kinda liking Streetfighters.
Simple & to the point.

[Jim Nilsen]

Mad Maxers

[Roadrage David]

When you get into the streetfighting thing and whant to form a club call this puppy what it is "" Street Fighters USA""

And a euro chapter ""Euro Street Fighters "" i alredy have Stickers laying around for the past 9 months to put on my car witch sais street fighter..
coinsedense!! ore colectif thinking???. its obvius that its going to happen its a natural follow up and statemend on the
""To nice and to shiny"" pro-touring cars that are build for the road kill but are treated with coton hands to be shown off........
last but not least give every chapter diferend names. make it a Global thing..........Im in.......

[BMF Machine]

:eek: OMG, the open ass chap statement by Steve'O made me spit some **** up in my mouth! I don't know, ARRGGG. I will vote later. I got to get the visuals out of my mind!

"crazy insane *******s that just dont give a crap about a damn thing"


Is that too long? we could shorten it...

[surlyjoe]

I would say road kult. its different but not so in your face.

totally got the picture.. and is why i decided to start of with our own name..

and we should add these to the names?

Streetfighters
Blacktop Brawlers

these really sound good also.

if you got more ideas for names feel free to shoot em over..
then well make a final poll of the top names..

so far tho.. Road Kult is in the lead.. go figure.

[BMF Machine]

:headbang: Street Syndicate
:headbang: Black top Assasins

Road Kult sounds to WacO?:confused:

[Barry Dingle]

Road Kill'rs

[critter]

I started a club. The name doesn't matter a bit. Call it the horse apples club. No one cares. Put together a solid core of people who give a damn about what the objectives of the club are and you'll be fine.

Things you should know before starting any club:

1 - 10 percent of the people will do 90 percent of the work.

2 - You're only as good as your reputation in the community. Get a bunch of outlaws doing stupid stuff on the street and you'll all be marked.

3 - If you get the right mix of people you'll have the greatest friends that will last a lifetime.

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

indeed.. wise words... now add to your list to vote.

and Road Kill'rs is cool but its too much like my bros shop name.

Road Killer Kustoms.

which happens to be building Vengeance..

[XLexusTech]

sidewinders

[critter]

White Lines.

[NOT A TA]

Mean Streeters

[Tom Welch]

I suggest a name from the Vietnam era, used by pilots for anti SAM missions- IRON HAND, sounds mean and sorta dangerous with no favorite indicated at all.

[rlplive]

yeah now thats bad ass. Iron Hand

[Tom Welch]

I suggest IRON HAND, this is a name used by Vietnam era pilots as an operational name for anti SAM sorties, is a Dire Straits song, also a technique taught in some Chinese martial arts.

Truer words have never been spoken about clubs/organizations.

Better to be like the Boyscouts than the gangbangers.

My whole family was in scouting for years and then moved to the Sons of Norway until my dad died. I remember it being even less than 10% doing all of the work most of the time. Being there first and leaving last and taking care of the books and duties in between is a way of life I was brought up with.

I am glad you brought it to the forefront because I was holding back and watching. I like just being the P/T.com G-machines .com as a main identity and what a local chapter would be would be like the unions I belong to and that there would be a local number not a name.

The names are cool,don't get me wrong but prejudice these days is in a name or label just like like it has been for centuries. Associations get divided and fall apart when members want to believe they can do more on their own and take members apart.

The thing that impresses me about what is going on with all of this is that the members here and the other sites are finally taking the quantum leap and wanting to organize events for us to do things locally. I feel we can thank Bill Howell for stepping up and doing things the right way first for all of us and once it started going to more than several places like to Michigan/ Gingerman Raceway and then the Optima challenge presented itself in Vegas the snowball hit the hill the hill with enthusiasm.

If we don't do this right we will become another NOPI and I don't want to see what happened there happen here, I woud rather be around forever like the NHRA.

Long live Pro-Touring/G-Machines .com AKA Streetfighters.

Let's go racing while helping everyone and may the horsepower be with you !

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

Jim.. good words.. and meaningful to some.

But there will be a streetfighter style car club.. weather you agree with it or not..
not a pt.com streetfighter club.. but a streetfighters ONLY club.


Now if you dont agree with it im cool with that.. and i see what your trying to say about keeping it all together..
and i respect you for your efforts in thinking that we all are the same.. and want to keep it "pt.com"
but were not a ".com" ...to me thats gayer than a purpose stated name aka "cool name"
the reason for the name is to start somewhere.. i felt it was a good starting point for something a few of us were
already thinking/doing..

And personally i think you read something you wanted to read out of what Critter wrote.. and was dying to write that above.. Critter wrote some personal advice to me to let me know how to setup and run a club with the difficulties he has faced.. not trying to talk me or anyone out of it.. but gave good progressive advice.. and wished us luck

but lets be honest.. not everyone on here likes every type of build.. some favor more than others.. but the guys on here that dont care about the latest whatever and enjoy this type of build and want to go that route with their own car.. those are the types who would fit perfect in this type of club.

refer to this link if there is any confusion weather there is a diffrence between us or not.
https://www.pro-touring.com/forum/showthread.php?t=32032&highlight=streetfighter

now once again.. not everyone will agree.. and for what its worth Jim i respect what you said and will take the positive points and try to apply.. but with all respect.. this crew will happen.
because i will make it happen brother.. thats all there is to it.
the least you can do is help me out and give helpful advice rather than talk us out of it..
i would appreciate that.. but if not, do me a favor and stop cluttering up the thread.

for anyone with concerns.. its your ride.. do it how you would like.. im not trying to take away members or divide the pt.com site because we all have love for eachother... ill be at Billys functions, pt.com's, lateral's, supporting to the fullest.. but ill try and put some together also.. even if its on a smaller scale.

besides whats the worry that a new club would pop up?.. why so threatened?
this isnt a conformist group.. it isnt a gang.. just like minded guys who want to forward that build/lifestyle type.

and btw.. not everyone on here is a Streetfighter.. and obviously not everyone on here likes streetfighters.. so how could pt.com aka streetfighters apply?

thank you!

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

oh btw

when i made the title.. which name is the meanest.. i didnt mean that literally.. i meant which one sounded the best.

lol

[critter]

I had one but I decided I didn't like it after all.

I'll keep thinking.

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

the white lines one was a risky one.. hahaha

[critter]

This one was more so. That's why I backed off. Being PC you know.

[Patrick]

How about Asphalt A-holes.

I meant Asphalt Assasins.

[68Formula]

You're only as good as your reputation in the community. Get a bunch of outlaws doing stupid stuff on the street and you'll all be marked.



Any name with the terms:
SAVAGES, KILLERS, BRAWLERS, or KULT is not going to help your reputation in the community either. If anything it's going to garner pre-judgement. There are plenty of people that love to hate us as it is (they come out of the woodwork everytime some dumbarse hurts people in a street race).

Besides, I can't imagine seeing the headline:
"So come on down to the Murderous Road Psychos charity event. It's fun for the whole family. Sponsored by the Atlanta Police Department and Our Lady of Perpetual Sorrow Church"
Can you?

[critter]

BWWAHhhahahahaha!

OK, that's funny.

I liked Asphalt Assasins. I was thinking along those lines with Asphalt Animals.

OK, While Lines was bad if interpreted wrong but Black Lines? ;)

[zbugger]

Why not just call it "The Streetfighters". Or even "The Streetfighters Car Club". Straight, to the point, and it still sounds mean. Plus you could always come up with cool logos for that name and that makes it easier to advertise yourselves.

[Benoit23]

BINGO.... that's what I was thinking.

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

Indeed.. but the problem is that the name "streetfighter" is coined by a video game company.. so if at some point we too big they might have an issue.

and does it encroach on the streetfighter bike scene at all?.. that one i have no clue about.. and does that matter?

im not sure how those things go but if per say "streetfighters"
could make a diffrence that would be cool then..

and i really like the name streetfighters.. and it can lend itself well to the regional thing..

Streetfighters ATL.. Streetfighters FLA.. Streetfighters So-cal... etc.

[zbugger]

The game is "Street Fighter". The club could be "The Streetfighters". Note the difference? One word compared to do could make the difference. Then again, what do I know?

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

think so?.... i would hope so...

seems like were almost at a final list of names.. ill make another final poll of the top ones and well all pull the trigger..

the final list of top names are and are based of 2 or more folks recommendations

Streetfighters
Bend Brawlers
Iron Hand
Street Savages
Road Kult
Turn Killers
Blacktop Brawlers

oooh its getting interesting!

Again call it ""Street Fighters USA""
no fricking game can claim soul name on streetfighter!! ad the USA to it and be done with it.
To come back on some debate couple of posts back. for years Pro-touring has been goin tru changes.
The seen was seeking a more spread identety, all of a sudden all sorts of cars and models with big brakes and lowerd suspention are now called pro-touring cars.

To me and i cant speak for others everything less then a pony ore a muscle car hase no place in that seen.
Due to the more and more high end $$ cars the real essense in my opinion about the goal in the first place hase been lost. and i see these cars more as Hot Rods.
Going back to the transam raceing series cars and cars like the Big Red where Function over luxury counts, is a more colectif way some people start to think at the momend, and i welkome it.
Altho my own car is a high end car it WILL get a race history, and my 69 gto in the waighting line will be mutch more sober and kick ass build.

I think its a good thing to go back to basic road worthy race cars les the bling bling and 1000 ore22000 useless hp engines ecetera ecetera ecetera .
altho some of these cars are engenering marvels to say the least it isend the same. i call them ""cars of Velvet and Steel"".
They are build for the kill but handeld with a velvet glove.
Place them(those high end build cars) necst to The Big Red and you see where al that useless hp and money gose to, Douwn the drain!!!
Its time for a aded new direction in the Pro-touring seen and if there is room for Pro-touring pick up trucks and full sized cars:barf: :banghead: :confused: :drive2: :eek: :machine: then there is sirtely room for a Street Fighter seen. Keeping ""IT"" together hase been lost a long time ago bij letting everything on four wheels with big brakes and lowerd suspention and high perf in this seen. its time to go back to basics................

thank you!

How could P/T.com street fighters apply?

Well, let's take a good look at where I am and what I am building.

First of all I am here because this is the most respected community of car people I have ever been around along with being the most accepting of everyone no matter what they are building.

Maybe I am just hiding here and don't really fit in and trying to use it as a cover to keep myself safe from being associated with being a troublemaker on the road and making myself a target is what I am doing?

Deep inside and and very obvious in my build is a streetfighter that you don't see. I hide it well enough and obviously it works as you haven't seen it it. If you have ever read my political comments you would know that I am on the patriot side of life.

I have been building my car so that from a distance or close up the untrained eye will just see it as another plain jane Camaro and is basically a sleeper. I learned along time ago that in order to keep my license to drive I had to keep a lower profile and not advertise how I am to everyone. Being proud of something that makes you a target may prove something to the people like yourself but it also proves it to everyone else.

I am guilty of trying to help you keep a bit lower profile along with giving you more people to join with to share the burden of a clubs expense along with maybe a more comfortable place for me to fit and still hide if I joined up with you, it is obvious that you want to be higher profile.

So please go ahead and do what needs to be done to satisfy your need to join with the members here that have streetfighters and the same goals to standout. Just make sure when you are out standing enough to be in the back of a squad car while they are impounding your streetfighter you don't go pointing at my car and saying I am one of your club members and get me involved with the police and lose my car along with you.

I respect that you want your own club and want to show the world what a streetfighter is, I will go away now and hide myself back with the rest of the community here and I won't CLUTTER up your thread any more.

I wish you all the luck and really do understand and wish we all lived in a world that was as accepting to everyone as Pro-Touring .com is and I truly hope that doesn't make us gay unless gay can still mean HAPPY.

Am I still here?

[Steve Chryssos]

The whole thing is starting to reek a little. It ain't counterculture if everyone's doing it. Based on that, the name with the least number of votes should be the winner. Kurt Cobain blew his head off because he couldn't come to grips with his own music's popularity (That and the whole "clinically-depressed-heroin" thing). Come up with a club, give it a name and then keep it a secret. Oh and if you head out cruise nite as a club, be sure to spread out. The last thing you want is a row of alternative streetfighters. Not very alternative, then. I once saw a coupla rat rods at the SAME show using the EXACT SAME vintage tin can as radiator catch cans. Even the weathering was surprisingly similar. When I turn up with my car, Camaro restoration freaks, "smooth" show car types and Mopar enthusiasts all go into cardiac arrest. From a styling standpoint, rubbing people the wrong way is half the fun. From a performance standpoint, it can be difficult to discern a stripped down streetfighter from a traditional pro-touring car.

Streetfighters suck. Don't build one. :theresa:

Kurt Cobain blew his head off because he couldn't come to grips with his own music's popularity (That and the whole "clinically-depressed-heroin" thing). Come up with a club, give it a name and then keep it a secret. Oh and if you head out cruise nite as a club, be sure to spread out. The last thing you want is a row of alternative streetfighters. Not very alternative, then. I once saw a coupla rat rods at the SAME show using the EXACT SAME vintage tin can as radiator catch cans. Even the weathering was surprisingly similar. When I turn up with my car, Camaro restoration freaks, "smooth" show car types and Mopar enthusiasts all go into cardiac arrest. From a styling standpoint, rubbing people the wrong way is half the fun. From a performance standpoint, it can be difficult to discern a stripped down streetfighter from a traditional pro-touring car.

Streetfighters suck. Don't build one. :theresa:

The SoCal section of Steves Nova Site has started a non-club! They do Monthly Fun Runs, get together regularly and do an annual BBQ! It's one of the best non-club clubs I've ever been involved in. Instead of trying to put together a formal club why not just do it that way. No dues, no responsibilities. Just guys that like the streetfighters gettin' together. You can still do events and use PT.com as your rallying point.

That's the way to do it!

There's a group of late-night bicyclists here in L.A. (www.midnightridazz.com) that I ride with occasionally, and they have a forum where anyone can announce a ride. There are rides set up by more experienced people who set up fun routes that can draw a few hundred people, and there are smaller rides set up several times a week. It's kinda like the hot rod scene, only slower and younger and on a fraction of the budget.

If only somebody had a forum like that related to Pro-Touring cars, where people could announce events in their area, and invite like-minded people to join the fun, (https://www.pro-touring.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=9)or ask people to get together to help organize more serious racing/competition events. (https://www.pro-touring.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=64)Hmmmm, that would be really awesome.

You must have went further with your education than high school? Day'um too many big words!:help!:

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

Why not just call it "The Streetfighters". Or even "The Streetfighters Car Club". Straight, to the point, and it still sounds mean. Plus you could always come up with cool logos for that name and that makes it easier to advertise yourselves.


done and DONE!

Streetfighters aka The Streetfighters aka Streetfighters C.c.
