:rolf:i hate people that think the car they drive is fast as hell cause its new. no its fukin not
Speaking of new cars...I can't stand the trend toward heavy cars. What happened to the days when cars were light and quick? Seriously, if you want a car to be fun, drop weight. Sure...you can put in a big engine and get the 0-60 and 1/4 mile times you want. But the car is gonna feel like a tank in the corners, and gas mileage is gonna be killed. People don't realize what power to weight ratio is anymore. My buddy thinks his Pathfinder is faster than my GS-R because it's got a 3.5L V6 that boasts 240 hp and 265 lb/ft of torque. :roll: The thing weighs over 2 tons. Give me light, quick, and nimble ANY DAY. I'll kill you on the track, and have a lot more fun doing it. That's what I love about Honda. They get the power to weight ratio thing. Not to mention the high-revving engines. Built the way engines should be - power tops out up high in the RPM range. :thumbs up Can't stand engines that top out power-wise at like 5k or 6k RPMs. Then again, I'm one rev-happy sob.

Haha. I managed to find a SOHC VTEC sticker back when I drove my Civic EX. Looked just like the DOHC VTEC sticker that came on the SI. Put it on just for the laughs. Anybody who knew about Hondas and saw that it said SOHC got a good laugh out of it. Gotta have some fun, right?I also hate it when CIVIC owners put DOHC or VTEC stickers on their Non-Vtec cars.
Took it to a mechanic one day and he asked me what engine was in it: "DOHC right?" He just saw the sticker and didn't read it, so he didn't believe me when I told him it was SOHC. Had to go out and check for himself. :roll: :lol:
