No idea. I'd love to see it if there is.

Oh. Well I'm wondering about that type of speed. Every car has its big boys on this site.

Camaros/Firebirds. Civics. Integras. Mustangs. Neons. Datsun and Nissan Zs. Misc. big block GM boys.

They all have loyal followings like VW seems to on this site, and they're all got their big boys. VW HAS to have big boys on this site., unless they're all concerned with the show aspect of their cars and not performance.

Hondas can be cool as shit. I have respect for ANY PERSON with ANY CAR that can make it decently quick. What I cant stand is when some douche bag cuts his exhaust off, cuts his springs, and primers his car and thinks its fast. Then he continously revs at any car he sees.

Not offending anyone by all means but here's my take on it:

Honda's/Acura's are low budget "street" cars. I wouldn't consider them race cars there's only a select few on this site that are actually worth considering fast and actually race cars.

There's Honda/Acura parts galore, so in a way thats good because parts are cheaper and the cars are economical.

One good note on Honda's/Acura's is the value of the cars don't depreciate as fast as other makes. The engine's take a lot of abuse.

What I find stupid is they call their car's by the Japanese models. Its not the same.

I like the fact that you can do all types of motor/tranny swaps on the cars.

As far as owners, some are cool but some act cocky. Its not all about the vtec, could you imagine Honda without vtec where would Honda be? It would be like driving a Geo Metro. Yes I know there's some out there Non-vtec boosted and so fourth running some impressive numbers but those are few compare to the large amount that get there power from vtec.

This is my take, I give rep to those that did a job well done with there H/A and I give respect when its deserved. I have nothing against them. This was all my personal opinion. My bestfriend and his brother are big H/A fans and owners.

I love my honda! I think some owner just give the rest a bad image. A lot are actually really cool if you get to know them. I like pretty much any car. I respect anyone who has a passion for there car and put there hard earned money into it. So in a nut shell i will always have a honda.

I don't hate on em if I feel they're "done up right" and aren't d-bags but why does it seem like a lot of these guys just slap only an exhaust can on the back and race around like they just gained 100 additional hp?
It seriously makes me think about making bumper stickers to mock it all but bumper stickers are lame.
