The C5 was sexy until the C6 came out. Then it became old and aged.

mods? anyone can make this happen?
Apologizer? Just because I'm not blindly brand-loyal and I actually tell FACTS, does not make me an "apologizer" for anything.

Wow.. high 13's stock.. you must be so proud. Tell you what, when your car is actually fast.. you can come back and talk some smack. 350Z's... G35's.. are a WASTE OF MY GAS.. I don't need to beat up the 3rd grader to show off for my 8th grade friends, you know what I mean?

I would rather have a C5 then a 350Z any day of the week. There is no comparison.

did this guy just compare a nissan chick car to a corvette, so i guess when the 370z comes out that will make your car an outdated peice of ****. Damn I would love a car that looks like a computer mouse with happy eyes. You should come to my jobs parking lot every damn day it seems like a new female gets a 350z, you will fit right in. You can never compare yourself to a vette, you understand. Not on this forum hell not even on a 350z forum. Hell you can get that slow thing to run 9's and still you cant. This is not brand loyalty or nativism, but face it you can have a c5 with an interior made of cardboard and primer paint but those two little flags on the front will always make it better than your tiny car. 55 years and still it remains legendary

and damn that is a loud as hell "stock" civic SI in that video

When did I say it was "awesome?" While VTEC is one of the best and most-copied variable valve timing systems, I never said it (or the Civic in question) was "awesome." I merely said "VTEC Hondas make a lot of intake noise."
