my eclipse eats civics for breakfast
Aye it's the 1.8 that has that kinda horsies, from the mid-late 90's. None of the new one's have anything near that. Only Type R's come with that sort of power.-MetaL* wrote:

An asshole sometimes, maybe, but not when driving.
Get your facts straight

Cause most Civic drivers can't afford better cars, and so they fill up what their engines lack, with an enlarged ego.
But it's the 1% who basically can't get better cars, and so they strap on a huge exhaust pipe that makes heaps of noise in order to make other people think that they actually care about their Civic, and that they don't want to get another car.
I don't even know what I'm arguing about anymore.

they can barely keep up with that volvo i betThe_Sniper_NM wrote:
Its funny enough when morons try to race my slow-vo (Volvo, 170hp) Some times I have some fun, but its hilarious. Its just too bad they don't challenge my dad's M5 or G35.
I would do that normally. But I had cruise control on and tappin the brake turns it off.burnzz wrote:

The car from the linked article is nice.Agent_Dung_Bomb wrote:
The older American cars weren't really that good at handling. My first car was a 1969 Camaro that had no power assist on anything. No power steering, no power assisted drum brakes, and didn't handle all that well. However, just as the ricers dump money into their cars, so can those older car owners. I subscribe to Camaro Performers magazine and really enjoy all the new tech toys you can put into these classics. You can make these cars handle and brake just like modern sports cars; less things like ABS and traction control. But I'm telling you, you won't see any modern day car with lines like this.
