Why do people automatically look at the bad rice? The civics and crap. Why not look at the best looking cars ever made, the FD RX-7, the MKIV Supra, etc. For some reason bandit automatically thinks that all imports are ****, including the reall nice ones. Idiots...

Also, 1 out of 100... Haha, all of the old Japanese turbo cars run 13's stock. Damn thats slow.

Dont argue with Bandit or the whole thread will turn into a huge domestic vs import war and the thread will get locked...back to the original poster, nice kill! There is a local kid in my town who had a turboed rsx type-s but i wanted him pretty bad and I believe he was only pushing around 5-6 psi on a stock engine. Thing was pretty fast and hung around for a little bit but as the MPH increased it got ugly. Hes wanting to up the boost but I dunno if the stock engine can take a lot more. Again good kill though and keep em coming.

The best looking car ever made...yea sure, nobody saw that one coming from you riceboy

All of the old Japanese turbo cars ran 13's stock huh?? And where are all of these cars now?? What I'm saying is 99% of the modified imports on the street are slow riced out pieces of ****.

And if you honestly think your FD RX7 and the Supra are the best looking cars ever made, you are on some serious drugs

Well I don't know about "the best looking cars ever made". Most will agree they are at least decent looking cars (I personally feel the FD kicks the MKIV's a$$ in the looks dept.), but "best looking ever made" is purely subjective opinion, and we all know what that's like, right?

Ok, best looking cars in the cheaper area of cars.

WTF... You are one of the few in the world. And I am sure the few of the world are all on this site.

Dont confuse fact with opinion. I think supras are pretty cool looking but I do not like rx-7's. I would'nt go so far as to say they are the best looking cars ever made or even the best looking in the "cheaper" class of cars and Im sure a lot of people would agree with me and not all of them are on THIS site.

BTW nice kill.

Tastes are subjective...and supras and rx-7's are nice looking cars IMO.

RX8s and several other cars would look a lot better if they did not come with lame Altezza lights stock. I dont know WTF that was, but for a few model years that was the hot thing to do. The Altima was the worst.

Personally I think a RX8 in Dark grey without clear tail suckiness would look OK.

To the wheels? Using who's correction factor? I find that pretty hard to beleive in a street car. 262 at the crank, tough but quite doable. At the wheels you looking at just under 300 crank HP NA. It can be done, but it's going to be running huge cams, exsaust header and such that are out of this world illegal and a big big intake manifold among other things. Operating range from 6 to 9+. Stock trannies dont like those kinds of revs at upshift points.

Either that or I just dont know as much as I think about K20s.

They've made over 310 to the wheels N/A.

Again, there is A LOT of "transference" going on concerning the MKIVs. If they were not sooo quick, or potentially quick, or even "telephone game" quick (i.e.; EVERY one of them are 8-10 sec. street cars) would everyone still think that they are that great looking?? In other words; if ONLY 16 sec.+ N.A. auto Supras existed, would everyone still think that they look soooo "badass"?? If the answer is a resounding YES, I will recant my theory.

I'd like to see some proof of this, thats a ridiculous number for a 2.0 N/A 4 cylinder. Not to mention the torque number is probably less than half of that
