Now see I don't like this thread already cause you've made me do something i long ago swore to myself I'd never do, pick a honda

Ok, Integra, not too bad of a car. it's got great handling and can have a a fair ammount of top end power. Should it ever be used for drag racing? Hell no. It's FWD, it's got a small engine, and it's got no torque. I mean I've seen Integras running 20lbs. of boost getting like +400HP, and a measly 200ft-lbs. of torque.

So, if you want a good handling car sure the integras the best choice there. If you want a sports car, especially one for dragging, buy soemthing thats RWD.

A probe? oh god, not even gonna comment.

Talon? awesome car, if it's the AWD model. Otherwise, stay away.

MX-6, I've seen one of these done perfectly, but it's still FWD and even the V6 didn't have that much power.

A cavaelier? :apuke: Don't even get me started on these things. They're a step above a Kia, and i'm not even sure they meet those standards anymore.

Perhaps add a 240sx into the equation, they can be had for the same price as the others mentioned, and have more potential

Ewww, who voted for the talon?

FWD with a non-turbo Neon engine is not a good combination.

But if it is the turbo AWD one? Then it's the best choice... (from those)

True Tom, but only the TSI was turbo and AWD.

The ES/ESI/whatever were N/A and FWD.

Ahh damn i didn't interest in it that much... Then i would choose something else not any of those cars... damn get something with a big engine or a turbo engine and RWD or AWD not FWD crap with small NA engine...

Are you a bad driver? It sounds as if you have way too many tickets and have to buy a slow car.

Tegs are always nice.

The MX6 has a J-spec version of its 2.5 24-valve DOHC mill packing 200bhp and 170ft lbs. I think there under 2g's for motor and tranny.

Who in thier right f*ckin mind would vote for an Eagle Talon ES? What the hell, that car is a rip off of the Eclipse anyway, so why vote for that POS instead of the Integra? Whoever voted for it needs to come to Jax, FL (DUVAL) so i can pimp smack your azz into the ground!:badass: :badass: :badass: :smoka:

yeah buddy go with the teg, outta those cars, theres not much to choose from. That would be your best bet for performance upgrades. There is a lot more out on the market.

Well, you could go for the integra if you are really into hondas... I would say get a Silvia! The only downside is driving in the snow!
