if you think of it that way, big rig and other big *** commercial trucks have been having LEDs for a long time, sure they might be ugly and just small circle lights, but they're leds haha.

When I bought my '90 300ZX it wasn't with the idea of tearing the car apart to produce an aftermarket miracle, the car excited me. Very seldom in 15 yrs did I pull up beside another one at a stop light.

When I bought my 05 Enthusiast, I bought it because the car excited me, not the toys available in the speciality shops. There were probably more 350s sold in their first 6 months than the total sales of 300s. But that doesn't change the excitement the 350 generates when I drive it.

A honda basically looks like the box a real car comes in. Not matter what you do to it is still a box and still a honda. With enough money it can sound like a resonating beer can [with leds, hid, whatever]. but it is still a honda.

I can light up the rear tires. There ain't a hid, led or anything else that can make a honda do that.

Sentry, your car is definetly HOT.

You don't see people snapping their necks to catch a glimpse of hids or leds. Nor do you see people drool all over a civic at a red light.

And of course like someone else mentioned, pulling up to a club in a Z brings upon you a few extra benefits

The Z has sooo much more appeal than any of these other cars.

True statement....I even bought the T-shirt that says this..LOL. BUT when you REALLY think about it, WHO or WHAT THE HELL DOES GEORGE BUSH give a f*ck about??

1. His immediately family
2. His Poll Ratings
3. That the war in Iraq will make people admire him.
4. That he WON'T go down in history as one of the most NOTORIOUS and DESPICABLE Presidents of all time (I wonder just HOW he'll be remembered 100 years from now??)
5. The wonderful citizens of Crawford, TX
6. Last, but not least, his little mutt, Sparky...or whatever the f*ck that little ankle biting mongrel's name is...LOL


Thank GOD he CAN'T be re-elected...but maybe someone or something will cut his current term short....If it can happen to Tom Delay...it can happen to Bush!

Take any of those cars to the track and drive it around a few laps and then take the Z around and see which one makes you smile and pulls the fastest times.

I was afraid this would happen,
my comments were taken out of context...

i wasnt comparing the PERFORMANCE of the Z to those cars ONLY the little things that Used to set it apart APPEARANCE-wise.

I need NO convincing of the performance, handeling, fun, ect... i own one too!! i LOVE it..

when i said others catching up I didnt mean it Literaly like speed and quickness I meant
only the little things that make those other APPEAR to be higher end cars thats all...

and yes i wish i could take back this thread hehe
