    so you paid 20K for 210 hp? Hondas can get that with like $1500-3000 depending on the motor....

    I was talking to EJ about that auto comment. Im talking about original post about the styling. I know Honda's are able to achieve a lot of hp but the exterior is all the freaking same to me. To each their own opinion but to me man it's like eating the same food over and over again. It gets tiring and dull after a while. Do something fresh and go get something else. Seriously.

    wrong ,hondas with sohc's have passed that mark long ago and for not as much money as you might think,hondas can make big power too. 551whp/355tq @ 25psi believe it...

    this car later went on to make 608whp with stock sleeves and a budget bottom end build eagle rods and vitaras no block guard.

    its been this way since the first car nut drew a set of flames on his car with a can of house paint back in tha day when my grandpa was a hot rodder.....

    I liked them when I was like 15-16. Growing up a little, I appreciate nicer cars...and a Civic, no matter how modified, is still a Civic. I don't understand why someone would swap motors, turbo, all just to break 14's in a quarter mile. That's not fast. Why not buy a faster car to start out with?

    Note that I'm not speaking anything about my car or how cool it is... I know it's "just another Z" and I know it's slow and I know it handles like shit etc etc haha

    to help you understand the performance mod thing,for me it was about the challenge,easy to build a big fast v8 or v6 but when you build a 4cyl that will eat a v8's ass for dinner well thats something to be proud of.

    i got bored with 350's and 302's and 455's hondas challenged me to me they are still like little toys kinda funny,when you open he hood and see a sohc killa,there is just something about being the underdog and knowing your gonna win the fight. and break 14's we did that shit 10 years ago there are sohc's runnin 9's man
    yes i am....

    Even if he did bust out a 500wtq car you'll go on about how that said car burns more gas than your Honda, is heavier, unreliable, etc.
    So you'll just agree to disagree on Honda related topics.
