God damnit... I hate those ricers... They bring all this hatred towards imports. I like my sleeper nissan thanks you very much. It's pretty quick for a 4 door sedan, it's got enough torque to get me going. That's all that matters, practical power. All i need now is better handling...

Personaly anyone who loves their ride get props in my book. The guys who piss me off are the Import guys that do the following,
1)Give me the BS Gas milage line.... Ok.. my '01 Formula gets 30mpg, has a 1.8 emmisions rating .. I.E. its a Low emisions Vehical and has 331rwhp to boot. I dono about you .. but I don't have any milage complants whatsoever.
2)Bring up all sorts of excuses when you hand them their ***.... now I have to admit the domestic guys do this too.. soo.. anyhow.. if you get beat.. you get beat.. get over it you got beat.... yeah I'm sure you would have done much better when you get your turbo...
3)Site purebread racecars that run silly low times. Its a freakin race car of course its fast... the question is did he/she drive it to the track... does he/she go get groceries in it? If not you are comparing apples to oranges. I have seen low 4 second V8s... havent seen any low 4 second 4 bangers though.. hmmm... gee.
4)This one goes to both the domestic and import guys too...shoulda reworded the top of this I guess.... The guys who think the fastest things on the streets are cars.... this dosnt piss me off persay .. but its funny.
Bonestock GSXR 1300 Hyabusa.... 9.8second quarter.... anyone know of any Bonestock street car that goes that fast?
Next thing on my rants here... someone posted about the RealTime acura guys.... those cars are not a particularly good example. One of the things that happens at those races is that the cars are handicaped with extra weight etc depending on wins etc... The M3s dominated heavaly early on in the season and hence were penalized drasticaly with extra weight.
Now lets look at purebread racecars.... Formula1, IRL, Cart, Lemans .. esp LMP900 and LMP700 .... all RWD.
AWD cars... hmmm... can we say drivetrain loss.. Yes the Porche TT is fast and AWD... guess what.. its big brother the GT2 is faster... and... RWD. Freaky.. wonder why they did that.
Anyhow.. I am a car lover period.. There are several imports I would love to own, Supra, The new style WRX, NSX etc..
Anyhow... back to the original intent of this thread post up some pics. Personaly I don't typicaly like anything bigger than 17s on civics but I'll reserve my judgement untill I see it.Sig image must be under 20kComment

You sure that is a REAL GT-40...that looks too long and too tall and the headlamps and rear view mirrors are wrong...do you have a pic of the inside showing the gearshift?Originally posted by Jon/xpm

Yes, that is a GT-40, but it is the new one. Ford just released a 2003 or 2004 model it think. Im not quite sure when they did, but it is on the market now.LeftyTheNubComment
