01 porsche, same price range as 2012 mustang........
The porsche owner sure is roughing it with that rugged wood shed he calls an interior
OP is gonna like this one................... 1989 supra
oh well..... a 240sx is still a shit box... i wouldnt be caught dead sitting behind the wheel of one of those, probably looks like the inside of a barn
not to mention....... 240 owners are all broke ass kids who do work in their backyards, who wants anything theyve fixed up
Well I suppose I fall into that "broke ass kid category". With that said I have a car that isn't brand new or beaten to hell and back. A lot of my time has been put into getting my car and making it the way I feel I want it to be. If I could OWN a brand new vehicle you better bet I would have one. There is just no way in hell I can afford to go out and purchase a brand new car at my age. I'm not one to pay payments on a car, and all of the cars I have had my name was on the title and in my hand. Though I can agree that I would rather not own an old ass honda, nissan, toyota, etc. simply because I hate how shitty that they have become over the years from repetitive abuse.
I am assuming by your sn you have a 99-00 Si. These i can say are one of my favorite hondas I have owned when they are stock! I dont mind a slight drop. I had a electron blue pearl one I loved the car to death! It was bone stock besides a set of springs. This was several years ago even then it was broken into twice in an attempt to steal it. I had to let go of it becase it was not worth having a car i could not drive anywhere out of fear, Could not go to the mall/ movies/ club or leave it out side of the garage over night out of fear it would not be where i left it. Good luck finding one now a days that does not have a history of theft/ accident history/ or has been mechaniced to death by kids trying to fit in with the latest fad. A good car fax on one of theses are few and far between.

I did have a milano red Si, but I sold it. That was such a great car and I plan on owning another one in the future. Theft was a big problem with it, my key whole had been busted numerous times and I got fed up with it. After a lot of money management I have an 04' rsx type-s. It's by far my favorite of all cars I have owned. It's fully loaded with an alarm so I have no worries and Police NEVER bother me.
I think which side of this argument youre on depends on how much money you have. If i was wealthy, i would want all of the perks that come with a new car purchase. Since im not wealthy, i cant justify paying for a brand new car when used cars are so much cheaper. If you buy a new Corvette, it doesnt turn into a pumpkin new years eve.... its still a corvette.... 2 years later, 5 years later, 10 years later.
I was not or am by no means wealthy just good with money. A car payment is not that hard to make if you have steady employment and wait for the right deal. I stole that mustang for 12k which at the time was a steal, had 7k in the bank from working and saving and sold the integra within days for 5k and bam new mustang in the drive way and paid for. granted this was in 05-06

The insurance is one third of the price than it was for my Si, which was molested to hell and back. I feel I could take my rsx anywhere I wanted to and would not be let down. It still has air conditioning , cruise control, and power steering, which damn near every honda/ acura 01' and older do not have. Its not brand new but it's better than a 5,000,000 hp turbo whatever that was built with the amount of money my car is worth.
someone gets it!

You could be on to something here, all those old 90s car had shit interior with no ac, ps or anything.... new mustang interior would probably make a 90s Mazda look like shit.
yeah see that shit sucks..you pay for what you get and technology has come a long way.
That is what it evolved into and definitely isn't an eyesore.
I always wanted to do something like that with my old 240, but the problem is resale and what it is intended to be used for. The car would be great for the person who built it to keep, but on the other hand anyone on the market may be looking for something different out of a 240 they're seeking to purchase. It's amazing to the owner and they know how to fix it because they built it, but that means that no one else would know where to begin on it.
This isn't a 240 vs Mustang debate if it was that would been crushed already. I having owned 4 240s myself can say a Mustang is better in performance and reliability.
Key point to OPs subject guess it comes down to who has what taste and how much money at a single time.
A broke person can't argue that a new car is better. As for a rich person just has money to run out and buy a new ride.
If my options was different and I had a fat roll in my pocket my DD would be anyghing New period.
^then why not do a little more for a GTR and you can talk all the shit you want and be legit lol
The GTR doesn't look nearly as good and appealing as a Vette.
An Integra is not even close in dollar amount to insure than a Mustang. And to address the last part of the quote, if the Integra (and Civic for that matter) is that much much much much more likely to be stolen then that mustang, then would anyone want to get one, much less dump all that money into one? Later, QD.
FOR MORE INFO, CLICK THE PIC!!!
Thats personal opinion, i would rather have the GTR because the vette looks the same every damn year IMO. Plus there are like 3 vettes at my job, a GTR would drop a few jaws.
Look back at the thread, I wasn't the one who said his GSR was at much to insure as his mustang..... But BTW i drop money into my hobby because im smart.... garage... no kiddy shit here
Go back to google. Acura RSX is the replacement for the Acura Integra in america. Oh wait thats just my common sense talking hmm
You have no faith because you don't know how to build an engine. Look at the ls/vtec you fucked up! You have more faith in somebody else because you don't know what the hell you are doing, how in the hell do you strip a arp stud in a block anyway, it says hand tight, can't u read?
BTW your spelling is ridiculous....once is an accident twice is just dumb.... ITS TORQUE, and WARRANTY, of course you don't trust yourself building a motor. I wouldn't even trust you with my keyboard....
AND for $30,000 I can build quite a few engines. More then ford will replace.
I agree on the personal opinion. That's why I didn't ask if you were crazy or some dumb shit like that, lolol. And of course the Vette looks (basically) the same year after year. Why mess with what works? Lolol.
I've just never been a Skyline fanboi. Aside from it being a new car, I don't see the appeal.
I was just responding to you saying that an Integra would be more on insurance than a Mustang. And smart about the garage, but, I was also referring to taking your car out. This is where most thefts take place. I would hate to have to worry about my car the entire time I was in a movie theater or in the mall shopping or doing whatever that takes me away from my car. You dig? Later, QD.
FOR MORE INFO, CLICK THE PIC!!!
I would never build a car without a dd to take out, hell my new eg doesn't even have locks..... its got sedan rear door handles on it for a cleaner look, lol
Seems like you would have said the RSX then cause its better looking and performing than any integra ever produced IMO. Guess ppl just don't care to steal it then huh
Your opinion flat out makes no sense. Looks are opinion based though. But performance......
0-60 times and quarter mile times stock
1997 Acura Integra Type R 6.5(0-60) 14.7(qtr mile)
2003 Acura RSX Type S 6.7(0-60) 15.1(qtr mile)
And how about the handling??? EVO magazine named the Integra Type R (DC2) the best handling front wheel drive car ever produced. This was done in 2006, well after your cute RSX was made.
"Indeed, in 2006, some six years after production of the original Integra Type-R had ceased, evo didnt hesitate in including it in a test of 15 all-time front-wheel-drive greats, pitting it against the likes of the 205 GTI, Clio Williams, Clio Trophy and Mini GP. And after commending the Type-R for its organic feedback, tremendous traction, miraculous grip levels and searing pace and total involvement, we named it the greatest front-wheel-drive performance car ever."

Bwahahaha You really are a moron and talk like you know me. I have never built a ls/vtec. I built a gsr for boost 6 or 7 years ago and its still running to this day
I would trust a new car over an built car I dont care who built it even if jesus him self built it in his human form he was still human and makes mistakes. Also

A vett you can beat on and they will still honor the warrenty unlike the gtr that has to have expensive mantainance after seeing a track.
lets see your gtr do this

Hella stock member!
I don't know you. I know that you have no clue when it comes to engines, that's why u trust new cars so much. Watch the name calling btw, makes you look like a kid. Btw ur gsr for boost wasn't built. Keep your religious mombo jumbo out of this. Do u think aliens build new cars or something? New cars don't break? Lol wow u r a joke....
Let's see your vette do this.... especially for $20,000 more then the gtr..... I'll take the gtr and keep the change left over from not buying the zr1. It is nasty though, don't get me wrong....
http://m.youtube.com/index?desktop_u...?v=NMUf_FWyzhw
Once again "MORON" You dont know me from adam you have no clue what was in my gsr that is still running to this day!
Yes I trust a robot that has built 100's of thousands of motors over some builder that has built a few. I trust a factory warrenty
over alot of fly by night shops that might not be open in a year or two. I know i could take my vett to any chevy dealer in the country
and wont get turned away becase they will want me to buy the next hot vett that comes out in a few years.
BY the way isnt this your build thread that started with a blown up "BUILT" motor? hmmmmm......

That would be pointless. He could take that money and make the corvette better than a gtr... It goes on and on lol
Yeah I'd still save my couple grand or so from not buying those and buy better reliability while not going broke.....Mustang
And we are back to where we began
gonna go ahead and settle this mustang vs corvette before it even gets started.
World's fastest "street car" used to be a mustang
The same guy got a corvette and broke his own record.
night folks
Lol you seeing things who said a vette was slower ? Also I'm sure if you could afford just a quarter of the investment that corvette had you would be driving a New car. Not a money eating 240sx that has no warranty and probaly liability insurance.
I really don't even know where the fuck the logic went in this thread. It went from reasonable discussion to being clogged with 99999 pointless images that have nothing to do with anything.
As I mentioned in an earlier post, this is not advocating mustangs, this is advocating all newer cars that offer good performance for the money. The mustang was another arbitrary example just like the Geo Metro. Regardless, I agree that the mustang interior is quite nice so I don't know what you're getting at.
By the way... That interior is done up tacky.OP is gonna like this one................... 1989 supra
whats tacky about it? the removable laptop in the passenger seat? if i have a soccer ball sitting in my passenger seat, thats not part of the interior.
explain to me what makes a 240sx money eating. I havnt had to repair anything on my car in almost 4 years.
Well if yours was stock the shitty suspension, shitty engine, shitty tranny, list of wiring issues and shorts over time. Leaks Etc etc etc
Nothing about a 240sx is expensive or complicated to repair or replace. Nothing money eating about it. Cheap parts that are readily available... you know... theres a reason these cars are popular right???
Also, i dont want a new car. To me a new car is the worst investment you could ever make. If i really really really really wanted the 2012 mustang...... id wait 2 years and buy it.
