Why is it worth tuning these, and not just go with a north americano automobile?

Also the original Mini during the touring car races of it's time, back when the European lightweight compact cars raced against American muscle. Lots of passing since the Minis could go around a corner and the muscle cars had power in the straights. Never gets old seeing a tiny ass Mini whiz and weave past a group of muscle cars near a turn. Original Mini was a boss at rally.

Hell yea! I knew I forgot something in my post lol.



I love all cars, my favorite are Honda and old school muscle cars. Someday I hope to own a 69 SS camaro and dodge viper. The crazy thing is, if I started school one semester earlier than I did. I would be working on a chevelle instead of my teg (teacher sold his chevelle right before I started school).

I got respect in muscle cars, my neighbor has an El Camino with a built 468 that puts out 500 all motor hp.

One of my friends dads has an original 68 Mustang GT/CS in a super rare color, one of maybe 50. I want that car.

He also has a De Tomaso Pantera. I pretty much shit my pants, got an erection, and started jumping around and screaming like a little girl first time I saw it.
Pretty funny when my friend took me into the garage and had me guess what it was, before she touched the cover I said a Pantera. She couldn't believe I guessed it and got all mad. She also didn't believe that it is one of my all time favorite cars.

I get along with anyone that is into cars. The people I don't get along with are the stuck up ones that can't respect all cars.

My gtp was no match for the integra, because even though it went fast and had a lot of torque, its just not that fun. The integra is fun at any mph whether its slow or fast. That's why i love it.

No fucks given.
Supercharged Grand Prix... I was gonna buy a Regal GS a while back, same motor, they move pretty decent for how big they are.

Yep, supercharged 3.8 v6. Torquey as hell. Kind of depressingly paired to a crappy 4 speed automatic all the way up to 2008. Pathetic. The seats suck, car is HUGE, not that reliable, engine is good but the car isnt.

Power steering sucks on it as well, such an annoyance. Basically seriously everything sucks except for the looks and the engine.

My dad had an elcamino with a built 350 that was fast in a straight line but also a gas guzzler.

My buddy smoked an ss el camino in his Hyundai elantra (granted he had Nos. LOL)

Just tell them that's y the muscle car nuts in 2 fast 2 furious lost their cars to imports. LOL but no really, if they can't respect all cars, American muscle or import, then they aren't true enthusiasts. I can appreciate all types. I just prefer my integra because it's fun to drive and to me its a beautiful car ;)

At least we can pass gas stations. Their almighty stock V8s will be lucky to see 15-20mpg most of the time. One of my friends has a B20/VTEC CRX boosted on 25psi with a mid size turbo (idk the actual size) and he would smoke corvettes and cobras on I-40. Leave em in the dust. Plus he was getting 35mpg. Hahaha. Those assholes aren't car enthusiasts. They're fanboys looking to troll. Nothing more. Take a look at my integra (profile pic). Obviously not very pleasant to the eye. Still, I take it to autocrosses and the guys with the GT500 and the Lotus and Porsches still want to talk to me about my car, and help give me pointers on how to drive the track better and offer to ride with me to help me out, and admire the little work I've put into my little 4 cylinder. Those are TRUE car enthusiasts. Anyone else is nothing but a troll.

That comes with owning a Honda everyone is going to talk shit about them , that's how it was around here and when I finally got my turbo integra tuned I shut alot of them up & not all Hondas are gas savers my integra sure wasn't but then again I drove it hard all the time ..

There's a kid I work with that's like that with old cars period. Dude got pissed at me when I said that the Miata and FRS follow similar formulae. "No, the Scion is cool and your Miata's an old piece of shit!"

He also collects shoes, which renders his argument invalid.
