no he's not. he's ragging on kids that buy a honda because everyone else bought a Honda. a used S13 240SX costs WAY less then the average used Civic, so if you have enough money for a Civic, then you have more then enough money for a 240SX, so don't even try to bring the money aspect into this. and besides, if you only had enough money to do certain mods, why not pool the money together that you would spend on crappy mods (wing, body kit, graphics, altezza's) and buy something useful that would actually do something for the performance of the car.

As a civic owner . I did not buy a civic because it was "cool" i bought one because the other cars i wanted were no were to be found in my state . Ex , 240sx,dodge stealth,mustang . Cars where i live are pretty hard to find , to get a decent deal you got to drive 75 miles west .So a civic was the next best thing , reliability and a decent body shape .

So I mean ya...sure you can make your lil DX fast by swapping motors and stripping out your interior and slapping turbo or NoS on your car...but anyway you slice it...you are still FWD and to me...it's no the true form of a sports car... Sure there are nice handling FWD cars...namely the ITR...but it's quite sad when the ITR is probably the best handling car and it only has 195HP and really there is none higher Honda has some other decent cars like the NSX and S2k...and they are RWD...I think that was a good move... But think of all the sucky cars (dont say you cant swap motors into them too) Honda cars make...namely the new Si...bleech Nissan...oh yea...we make the 240SX, Silvia, Sileighty, 180SX, 300ZX, 240Z, 260Z, Skyline GTR, Skyline GT-S, Bluebird (SR20DET; AWD) and Pulsar GTi-R (SR20DET; AWD) Wow... |

THE JDM ITR PUTS OUT 210HP....SO IN ORDER TO BE A SPORTS CAR...A REAL SPORTS CAR YOU HAVE TO HAVE RWD SINCE WHEN HAS THAT BECOME A STANDARD

MY 1ST CAR WAS A 93 NISSAN NX2000 WHICH WAS NAMED ONE OF THE BEST HANDLING CAR BY CAR AND DRIVER...WHICH CONSEQUENTLY IS FWD AND DESIGNED TO BE A SPORTS CAR...DOES THIS MEAN ITS NOT CONSIDERED A SPORTS CAR CAUSE IT'S NOT RWD

FWD cars can be "sporty", but I wont consider them "sports cars".
1 - FWD is bad for acceleration. Under acceleration, weight is transferred to the rear, thereby lightening the weight on the front wheels and reducing traction. 2 - FWD is badly balanced. 60% or more of the cars weight is up front, which causes understeer. Of course, I wouldnt call MY car a sports car because it has no grip and its slow. :toothless

I KNOW WE'RE GOING O/T....BUT HERE'S A QUESTION....
SINCE YOU ALL SAY FWD CARS CAN'T BE CONSIDERED A SPORTS CAR.....THEN WHAT IS CONSIDERED A SPORTS CAR??.....WHAT MAKES A SPORTS CAR A SPORTS CAR?? I THINK IT'S JUST.....STUPID TO SAY A FWD ISN'T OR CAN'T BE A "SPORTS CAR".....

In my opinion a sports car is defined by , looks , handling ,and one of good acceleration......whether it be fwd,or rwd. thats just my 2cents.

^^I agree, except for the 2 seater part
RWD, good weight balance, independent suspension, +.8gs on skidpad, and no more than 15 seconds in the 1/4
