Ring Brothers has the looks, but performance?

Well, they have built the street machine of the year 2 years in a row. IIRC The Razor Camaro was one of the best cars in the autocross races at the Goodguys events. In my opinion, yes, they are all that. They build the highest quality cars and are not afraid to beat the hell out of them. Just my .02. I am sure more people with more knowledge than me will chime in.:thumbsup:

Are you stoned :_paranoid

Razor used all DSE stuff so they do the look and let DSE do the performance....

:rofl: :rofl: 2ND THAT!

When ya gonna let us shoot your darn car???

That's a helluva first post!

Go do some homework before you post something like this again:goofy:

How funny, as I sit here reading this, Mike Ring calls to see what's up(we are friends since Reactor build).I told him about this thread and he laughed.Check out there website and look at the Mustang getting a beating,I know the owner, and he has put it thru test.There cars can get with the program.

like Carlos Mencia would say dee da dee!!!!!!

Should'nt even be replied with a answer ''WE SPEAK BUT WE NO NOT WHAT WE ARE SAYING'':_paranoid

Even if it didn't:unibrow:

Honest question I'd say. It was only what last year that they actually made the Street Machine of the Year cars move under their own power more than just getting from the trailer to the staging area. Until then, it was anyone's guess as to if the cars performed or not typically. Cut the guy some slack, not everyone reads internet chat rooms daily

Heck of a first post but everyone has to start somewhere...

Are they really all that? You bet they are - and then some.

Their styling right now is cutting edge. The cars are built to actually be driven - if you look around you'll find clips of Razor as well as the last couple of mustangs being driven - hard.

I thought the coolest part of move out at SEMA last fall was when Tyler (in his black '68) and I (behind him in the OLC) were sitting next to the Ring brothers in Razor in rush hour 'Vegas traffic. Traffic sucked and we were just idling away... just three first gens trying to get far away from the convention center.

Most importantly though - I think - is that they are 100% approachable. At shows, on the phone, almost anywhere. I called Jim yesterday to ask him how he had done something on the '69 and he was really accomodating. I was fortunate to have been able to talk to Jim and Mike on several occasions while I was building the '67 - I don't think that many other pro builders would take time out of their day to help a nobody a half a world away.

Top notch builders and first rate people.

true. Thing is, he cared enough about this to post the question inside the Ring Bros thread, and then post a duplicate as a new thread. Sounds like he has an ax to grind................. ;)

To answer your question, yes the Ring Bros cars are both beautiful and functional. I've seen several of their cars being beat on in real life, so they are definitely driven and seem to hold their own.

hmmmmmmm interesting. I had no idea he had a reply along these same lines in another thread.

They actually had the best autocross time of the SMOY cars

I'm ready. I called Nick about three weeks ago to see if we could work something out while it was over in the Grand Rapids Autorama, but he didn't have anyone in the area to shoot it. The weather has been horrible here, so it might have to wait a little while...call me anytime:thumbsup:

I had him beat except for barely nicking one cone, doh!!!:lol: I should have kept going that afternoon to go for the top spot but my dad's heart couldn't take watching me beat the crap out of it anymore!:unibrow:

I am not a Ford fan by any stretch and even I'm looking forward to seeing what they do with that '69-'70 Mustang they're working on...:yes: :woot: :hail: :cheers:

Dude, you seriously picked the wrong topic for a first post. You are not serious. They flog the piss out of every thing they build. We are in hat rack land here.

i would say YES to the original Damn i sat in that traffic TOO where were you guys. the trans am never got over 180deg but traffic SUCKED.

ring bros are great people. They build great cars that look nice and drive very well.. hands down! :bow:

True. Sort of. SMOY is not the end all litmus test by any stretch. What does it take to prove that these cars work? So much effort has been applied to verifying the available technology and the cars. It's a long list. And there's photo. video, and data showing these cars--Ring Brothers and all--being used in EVERY environment from street to track. The list of tracks and events includes:
Road Atlanta
Pocono
Laguna Seca
Goodguys auto-X
Run Thru the Hills
Buttonwillow
Road America
Primedia Fontana tests
Power Tour
Optima Challenge
Chassis Dyno results
In the heat
In the rain

What more does anyone need?

I think it's a legitimate question - but when it's the first post by a new user, the motive is a bit suspicious.

When Rings win SMOY two years running, it's going to attract a lot of attention and a lot of questions.

I think the most important thing to realize is that Razor was built for a customer. It's what the customer wanted. It's what the customer paid for. Raking a business over the coals because they produced something their customer wanted just doesn't make any sense to me. If a customer walked into Ring Brothers and wanted, say, a car to compete in the Open class at the Silver State Classic, I know they could build it.

Take it EASY on this guy - we are building the 70 for him!
Alex we love you.
Staci

Thank yoiu to everyone!
 

I just want to thank everyone for the positive feedback on the Ringbrothers. It is very much appreciated.
We are building the 70 for the guy that posted this thread. He is the greatest customer. No harm meant!
Thank again,
Staci

Ha !!!!!! Now get back to work.....

Maybe a Stoner?

I guess I can think of no better way to reinforce your decision to hire the Rings than this thread... it's nice to see complete strangers willing to go to the mat for them. It's a special kind of shop that wins that kind of loyalty.

Duped Again :D

WOW didn't see that one coming!:lol:

A 70 what? If it's a Camaro then we so need to chat :)

Bomb diffused.....But the unfounded criticism keeps coming up every once in a while. So it might be a good idea to start a thread called: g-Machines in Action. A thread dedicated to images, videos, and numbers from auto-x, road course, touring events. Case in point--This photo shows 110 mph on a banked turn in the POURING rain.

What more does anyone need to see? A Dukes of Hazzard jump? Entry in the Rolex 24? The question will come up again--next time for real. We can point them to the action thread.

The question was real - I think he knew what we can do as far as looks but wanted to make sure we could deliver performance. I was just telling people to not be too hard on him - he was just checking things out.
Staci

I think that's a great idea Steve; go for it! I'm sure there are plenty of guys that would participate. :thumbsup:

Okay since no one has Welcomed you to the Board

Let me be the first.

Welcome to the BB and we look forward to you posting update on your car.

It's a 70 Mustang:) Maybe a Camaro in the fututre.

thanks all
 

Wow nice reply from some. And yes I'm a stoner. Ha ha . I'm just having fun with you. Ring Brothers is building my 70 Stang. I'm pumped. Thanks again. JA
