haha yeah it's a big oxymoron, but it comes stock on the Civic Si. Performance tires on a Civic EX is even more strange.
160HP engine + stiffer factory suspension + stiff front/rear sway bar + light weight car = pretty decent performance for a front-wheel drive econo-box
But I invite some of you to drive it, it handles pretty well and screams quickly through it's 8,250 RPM redline :rawk:...AngelFuree and UAL747 has taken it out for a spin a few times![]()
where is this myth coming from that "wow, new american cars have really caught up"
good marketing??? :banghead:
Yeah I think that car would be a lot of fun! It would be fun to have a RWD up here for screwing around in the winter. A kid back in my high school used to have the celica supra and seemed to have a lot of fun with it.
I was looking in to the Mk.III Supra for a while (the one with the 7M-GTE). It was built back when 230hp was considered a lot. They're heavy and have head gasket issues ([SIZE=-1]cast-iron block with an aluminum cylinder head equals chewed up head gaskets) [/SIZE]but despite that I think it would make a good high speed cruiser.

"thiiiiis is our coooounnntry" *barf*
you know its weak when you have to play the patriotism card to sell stuff.
That was actually my first car. Except it was in Japan and was a twin turbo. Was automatic unfortunately, but it was also $200, so I was willing to make the tradeoff.
You KNOW people really fall for that type of marketing. It's ridiculous."thiiiiis is our coooounnntry" *barf*

i was doing 100+ on a small back road before i even thought to check the speedo.
I don't know which is sadder, the fact that they resort to playing the patriot card... or the fact that people buy into it. kinda reminds me of [SIZE=-1]the movie Team America: World Police - "AMERICA! ###### YEAH!!!"
[/SIZE][SIZE=-1] Edit/tangent: okay, so aparently if I type the letter "F" with three asterisks after it, EVEN THAT gets screened out by whatever filters this website uses. It replaced it with 6 number signs instead. So basically my attempt to censor myself got censored. :banghead: [/SIZE]

He found out he crapped in it too.![]()
