The reason I said dual exhaust for the Civic is because he said SHOW CAR, not street racing rice, SHOW CAR. He will get more points if he has dual exhaust to fill in the gap on the left side because it will look better. Now on to the import vs domestic thing.
I myself want a daily driver car that is also nimble, thats why I like imports. They are easier on the gas guzzling, fun to drive, and with some subtle exterior and interior changes look very clean and agressive. I myself am not a fan of too outrageous kits such as Blitz, Buddy Club, etc. I just like the look of a lip, some side skirts and a rear that is simple with no rims larger than 17in, anything above is just crazy. Its the new look for a new time in tuning popularity. Back in the day it was American Muscle now its 4 banging imports. Am I looking for the fastest car? No. Im looking for a good all around car that is also a little fast. Yes. Versatility is the name of the game now. Thats why hatchbacks are gaining popularity. Thats why four bangers have an edge on domestics is because its an all around good car with features that catch the new audience. May not be the fastest granted, and people who say they that they are the fastest are getting a little bit too cocky unless they are running nitrous, turbo, etc, but then they take out the versatility of the car and stooped down to the level of JUST racing*theres nothing wrong with that either*.
But imports also have some advantages else where. Sure you can eat imports in a line, but how bout turns? Miata will own you on that due to its size and weight. Ever try drifting in a Camaro? Don't think so, S13 240sx with its near perfect weight distribution just slides away. And then there are the imports that keep up with domestics in a line and in turns. RX-7, Supra TT, 300zxTT, Skyline, etc.
But there is a down side to this new time. RICE. There is a point where it has gone into a little of abstract modern art with too much stuff going on in terms of looks. Or done cheaply also making it look like trash. RICE. Where it is all show, no go, and a cocky attitude behind it because of a huge wing. These are what make the real tuners look bad, and its sad that its popular.
But then I have to turn around and enjoy the roar of a V8 as it pulls away from the line leaving things in the dust and a cloud of white smoke coming from the tires. Also the classic stylings of the Classic American Muscle, Shelby Mustangs, Camaro SS, Chevelle, Novas, Baracudas, Dusters all of them look bad ***. You get this intoxicating feeling of joy as you control this 300-500 ci block of power.
But again that is in a different time, things change, and kids like the customization and new look of imports these days.
And Ive lost my train of thought aka as ranting and Im hungry. Peace.
