Don't listen to Jug - he knows not of what he speaks.


Those cars are quite reliable. My parent's only problem so far was a battery that went **** up.

I don't think they're unreliable, but I dont know much about them either, other than they are quite quick for their class of car. I wouldn't dare put one up against even a stock 99+ stang though, even with a smaller pulley.</P>

Man,it's like you guys have to constantly reassure each other that an american car is better than a honda. I wonder why that is.

Sure hondas are reliable, but there not ment for racing. Hondas have there place. If you do 1grand in mods you are not going to get as much HP as if you had done that 1k of mods to a American V-8...but lets not get a american Vs. Import war going on here...it all depends on how much money you have to spend on your car.</P>

How fast can you afford to go?</P>
