I'm sorry, but any car can be too quick for street use...and isn't that where most of us "race" our cars 95% of the time?

People say it's expensive to make an import quick...what about the sentra se-r which definitely isn't the best bang for your buck in terms of import power, but is faster than a mustang gt/ camaro z28?


I know the spec v isn't a super car, but I wish people would stop acting like it takes 10k to make an import quicker than a domestic...some of them come stock that way.

And I don't want to hear "but it's still way slower than the SS or cobra or viper" those cars are definitely not what most people here drive or have even test driven. I'm talking about real cars...like econo boxes and v6 mustang "sports cars"...cars a lot of people on here actually own and enjoy.

um, why not let people just enjoy there cars?

God, drag racing causes alot of arguments!

Not all cars are built for the same purposes, so stop comparing them.

and anyone setting out to build a six second civic started with the wrong car, but to each his own

peace y'all

Re: Peice Of Junk Hondas

Any car can be made to go fast. Just like the need to have 200 channels on the TV, it's all about personal taste, and it's all good.

hondas and acuras?

when ppl say "honda's suck", do they also mean acura? because NSX's and Type R's are faster, better, and more appealing than pretty much any mitsu, mazda, and any damn pinto.
