That and 35 isn't bad with yank-land's ickle version of the gallon, I still don't know why it's smaller than a euro gallon.
when i drive (only have my permit atm) it's usually a 2002 toyota camry. (grandpa gave it to the family when he passed away, my sister and bro use it a lot)
don't laugh at me but it runs and it beats nothing i guess lol.

BHP on the new V8 mustang is 412. BHP on Ap2 s2000 is 237... Imagine if honda put the same technology into making a 5.0 V8. It'd have close to 600hp. Even if they were only getting 100 hp/liter it'd still be ahead by 80+ hp.west-phoenix-az wrote:
You're comparing different ratings (BHP vs SAE Net HP), plus 5-liter 412 HP isn't the "newest baddest" Mustang. I'd be happy with either car.iceman785 wrote:
Let's see. Newest baddest mustang V-8 = 5 liter 412 HP.
2000 Honda S2000 4-banger = F20C 2 liter 240 HP
82 HP/liter or 120 HP/liter.
Honda is so far ahead of American motoring it's retarded =/ Now if only they could find a way to make a 4 liter 4 cyl....
And you're right, the Super Snake is technically the newest and baddest mustang, but I'm talking N/A here.

You act like the BHP is gonna be much different from that...west-phoenix-az wrote:

It can add up and the information you posted was wrong. That's all, I'm not a Mustang fan, but I don't dislike them either.the SAE net power testing protocol calls for standard production-type belt-driven accessories, air cleaner, emission controls, exhaust system, and other power-consuming accessories.

i'd rather have an s2000.
for a fatty you're a serious intellectual lightweight.

I want an Acura RSX
Unfortunately I'm not super rich and can't legally have one of these until the 25 year rule (classic). I read a post on honda-tuning about how to get grey market cars to America legally... Let's just say it's realllllly fucking hard. Most people just pay someone at the DMV under the table to register the car, but it still has the 10 digit JDM VIN instead of the 17 digit USDM one.Toilet Sex wrote:

What's the 25 year rule?

A car has to be 25 years old to qualify as a classic, for insurance Purposes.west-phoenix-az wrote:

It's an unwritten rule, but basically once a car becomes a classic (25 yrs old) it doesn't need to be tested for IM for safety ratings. Meaning that you can bring a grey market car to America trouble free once it's that old.west-phoenix-az wrote:

Are you talking a federal or state requirement for importation/registration?
The definition of Classic Car varies between jurisdictions and insurance companies.Camm wrote:

It's all federal when importing a car. Basically you'd have to bring atleast 4 of the same car over here to crash test them and emissions test them. Once it passed all the safety requirements of DOT and the EPA's emissions test, they could still just deny the car for the hell of it.
Like I said, you'd need tens of thousand of dollars. Unless the car is a classic, then it doesn't matter.

Also, most your insurance companies and banks are gonna go off of NADA for car classifications.
