imports have better designs IMO


yea your car is fast but its fugly like a fast metro an etc.

thats like my girl having a tight nani and gives good head but looks ugly as hell.not going to work since im going to be investing time and money into it.


but yea to have a car that only has 1.8 and destroy a car that has 5.0 and cost less is the best feeling in the world.can buy a used acura like mine for like 3500 put in 25g and walk over a cobra,corvette an etc.plus those cars are about 15g more NEW,so put a another 15 on top of that 25g in parts that is way more power for the same price.plus with no car payment or a really low one,you can build it at your own pace unlike the kids who can barely afford the high priced shyt an cant put gas in their car.another thing is the tons of changeable parts for hondas/acuras that you can get creative wit.i dont hate domestics but they are like someone says you put some parts on a z06 and run 11's,we all know it can be done.boring,but can a 1.6 four door honda break 11's? now thats a challenge.

You aren't serious are you? That's like saying I can buy an 89LX mustang and put 10k in it and it will be the same money as a new honda accord and walk all over it. When you compre price and performance you have to stay in the old vs old or new vs new, you can't mix and match.

Does dumping TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS into an old integra seem logical to you? If so, I guess we can't carry on an intelligent conversation.

Yes, but spending $25k on it was never, and never will be, an option

I have always gone for the best performance for the least bucks whenever I make a statement that has to deal with cars and going fast. Of course 9 times out of 10 it's going to be cheaper to go fast in something older because it has been around a while, parts are cheaper and it's all already been tested before. If you give two people $10,000 and one has to do domestic and one import, the domestic will ALWAYS be faster. Plain and simple.
