thanks for the kind welcoming guys. I respect anything that is fast and that gives me respect back, so im not in here to bash or flame anyone, im in here to learn and just to read up on stuff. I'm a forum junkie. I'm a member to a Mercedes Benz, Audi, & Honda forum too...To sum it up i just like cars!

Back to the topic....I would never spend that much money on a Honda Prelude...that is just plain stupid. I've met so many people like that, they just talk alot of **** and a make guys like me look stupid because we get thrown into the same category.

$80K i would rather buy myslef another car. If you do the math he has already spent $100K (includes price of car)... that equals

1. almost 2 Z06
2. Dodge Viper plus left over cash
3. or a used Porsche Turbo

hell yeah... and once i know you know what you are talking about and are cool, you move out of the ricer category... for me anyways...

My best friend has a 00 Civic Si show car with a vortech and other engine work. he hasnt dynoed but went 12.89 @107. He has about 8000 under the hood. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE LS1's. Even he will tell you there is no replacement for displacement. Moral of the story: be careful about what you race, cause there are some "ricers" that can beat you.

12.87@107 is not bad for a "ricebucket"

BUT, I honestly, really, truly, don't get the sport compact thing. I really don't.
I will never understand the rationale behind the entire trend. It's mind boggling.

me neither, do people get jollies out of having a slower car to start out with, and find it fun for them to try to spend double or triple than us to make it faster. hell they might spend more than that, and we can still keep in our Back seats, and the rest of our interior!!

my point was that it is pretty damn fast for a ricer. and on top of that, it is a full blown show car. like i said before im not a ricer guy, so dont get upset with me damn it! lol

OK....an 01 or 02 WS6 in April....exactly how am I a ricer? Because I like NICE cars no matter who makes them? I agree that most jerk-offs with hondas are ricers. however, i'll take american muscle over import weedwackers every day of the week!!!!

WECIV

I thought the Z3 was for the bimmer of that name, I did not see your type of car in your sig. The pro ricer comments were disconcerning, and I was just joking anyway

Honda makes nothing i'd really be interested in for any sort of performance car, except possibly an integra type R for a "cheap" autocross buildup. That's not to say that I wouldn't want to take a spin in an NSX or maybe a supercharged s2000, given the chance... but neither of them would I buy over the multitude of other options.

Nissan, Subaru, and Mitsubishi all have more enticing options in their current lineup to me, if i was going to buy an import nowadays.

If you dip into mid-90s imports, DSMs, 3000GTs/Stealths, Supras, and my personal favorite the RX-7 would all be up on my list ahead of anything honda had.

I would definatly buy a civic for everyday commuting though. Comfortable, quiet, good gas mileage, and far fewer speeding tickets.

WECIV

Skarecrow you forgot about Subaru, they have some good stuff.

Skarecrow

no i didn't. it's #2 on the list.

Thanks Phoenix, great to see that most are welcomed here (ahem, Bullitt) lol! Ive been checking out this website for quite sometime now, but just registered since the WS6 is DEFINATELY in the near future. There are alot of people here who know alot of things about the LS1. This is a great place to learn about just about anything you need to know about an F-body. And just for the record, IM NOT A RICER lol.
Scarecrow, once I do get her, we ought to go cruise around or head to a track. Seems that there aren't too many people from our little state on here.

Holy ****, xphantom has a heart! No way is this the same guy who was giving me hell for the past 3 days. To each his own is exactly what i say, you have to admire those little engines keepin up with v8's. And H22cvc you should stick around these posts, you seem to be a pretty knowledgable guy, and who knows maybe one day we might need some ricer info from you. Seeing as how they throw those big *** turbos on those things, you've got to knwo what your runnin agianst so you odn't look like a dumbass when they guys leaves you behind.

I think starting out wiht something slow and makin it faster than us gives those guys a rush. The whole ricer thing isn't a real problem where i come from, it's the damned diesels. There are mass amounts od dodge cummings turbo diesels around where i live that think they can bet camaros and trans-ams. I have saw a few take out gt mustangs though, and run with cobras. None 2003 that is because those are bad ***. But anywas, there is this one guy who's said to have nearly 80k in this truck. I've heard of him beating Ls1's and even z06 vettes. I don't really believe the z06 thing though.
