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

In all seriousness, if I had 80 g's, and I was going to put it into a car, like mine for instance, with 80 g's I could make the motherfu*ker sprout wings and fly. In conclusion, your friend is definitely full of ****, an idiot, or both. When will ricers learn????? I need a beer... ![Chug! Chug!

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!!

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.

J/K about the name. You gotta take everything with a grain of salt around these parts. Post up some pics of that ride when you get her.

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.

He might say spending 20 grand on a car that only runs 13's is dumb ... stupid domestic guy. Just remember, to each his own ... we're all car guys here, and ignorant comments like that aren't welcome as far as I am concerned.
