That's pretty cool. I assume you did the install yourself?

where did this come from? and no, stock for stock, the LS1 f-body has it covered, let alone the C5Z and Cobra.

Give props where it's deserved.

It still puzzles me why people underestimate Civics. There are a billion engine swap combos you can do to those, they are light and have a very good aftermarket support. Sure there are alot of ricer Civics but there are also a ton of fast Civics too.

Real or percieved, these cars are still stuck with the F&F/NOPI stererotype regardless of what you do to them.

Hey, even guys who have butterfaced chicks have to say something crappy to feel better about themselves when they see a nerd score with a hot chick.


It's plain ignorance. My statement above was a metaphor.....for the slow ones.

We're not gonna get into this "your" this/that bullshit anymore... lay off it. Getting VERY old. I was saying that using one of the nicest/best/most sought after Japanese cars ever made doesn't make too much sense when you're talking about having a "gay" car. You owned a Supra. And while it might not have been your cup of tea, they're far from "gay."

First of all, the "your" was a collective your.
Meaning ALL of the worshippers (not just YOU) were being identified/included.

I have NEVER (and NEVER,EVER will, even if I did have hundreds of thousands to throw away) owned a Poopra.

Yes, calling a car "gay" might be considered childish and sophomoric, but he is still allowed to do it on here (despite popular opinion), as you are allowed your subjective opinion.

Your knee jerk defense of "your" <- import nameplates is getting VERY old as well... lay off it.
But I guess it's a sworn duty/obligation of every I.D.L. member, so I guess I cannot blame you.

My mistake, I was thinking of another member that used to own a Supra. That "poster" would have made perfect sense if it had been a riced out Civic or something. But not a Supra. That's like putting a new Z06 on a "Trailer park" poster making fun of domestics. Doesn't exactly fit the bill. And I still don't understand where you get this "defense" bullshit from. But some people are just special...

Sorry to tell you this but if your fquick UP is anywhere close to being accurate, you are doomed for great disappointment. There is always someone quicker and there are alot of fast quick/fast 4-bangers on the street. Don't get the mindset that your V8 car will always be quicker on the street. Your ego will get crushed when you least expect it. I'm just being pragmatic.
