Default I already miss having a ls1!!!

I just sold my immaculate 98 ss for a 2003 acura cl type s....Dont get my wrong I LOVE the acura. The quality is unmatched but god do I already miss having a ls1....I really miss my ws6 though....I liked my ws6 more than my ss...I def see myself buying another ws6 maybe soon. A 2002 black or red one....Will either be 100% stock and keep it that way or i will get a all out street monster. I would really like to have blown ls1 ws6 that drives and sounds stock but 500 hp when I hit the gas. Man I want a ws6 again
But it will def be only a weekend nice day car

Why in the hell did you sell the SS in the first place?

Its fun to have a nice daily driver but I would miss an F-car, just some thing about it. I would even mind daily driving one again.

I enjoy driving F-bodies just as much as Corvettes. I don't think I could bear driving a woman's car like an Acura, without having some sort of hotrod at home.

I have both a 2002 Acura TL (Type S) AND an f-body. My Acura is my daily driver and my f-body is the car I beat on

I bought the Acura brand new in 2001. Shes got 83k on the clock and still feels (and looks) like a new car.

There is only 1 problem that you should be aware of: the transmission in these cars have a glitch. I went through 2 trannys and on the 3rd one. The first 2 were completely paid for by Acura. The 3rd one is warranted by Acura until 100,000 miles. You should check with Acura to find out if your transmission has a warranty.

Its about $3k should you need to replace it

I know what you mean about quality. I only had an rsx type s. But the quality of the ss doesn't even compare. It might of been lacking in power, but I sure as hell miss it. If i but a new car it is def an 06 TL pearl white.

I drove one of those for a couple of days when my car was being serviced. VERY nice and EXCELLENT ride quality. I would have traded in my '02 on one but didn't want to spend the coin.

lol, I could have called it what I really meant: a bitch car

I know Acuras are very nice cars, and the quality is 10x better than an f-body. Honda Accords are also nicer than f-bodies. Volkswagens are also nicer than f-bodies. But, I still consider them women's cars. Even the Mustang GT is on the border of being a woman's car to me though.

I'd drive an Acura like yours for a DD, but it wouldn't be my only car. They are strong enough for a man, but made for a lady.
