I was in your same position not too long ago but I found that it wasnt worth getting a used car when you can get a brand new car. You never know who drove that car and how they drove it.

 

STFU! You have no idea what you are talking about u fukin noob.. The rev-ups came with 300hp and 260ft/lbs. Non revups had less hp (287) but more tq(274). The HR's have both hp (306)and tq (268). They make 90% of the tq at 2krpm and hold that figure until 7k. 07's have the tq of non revups and the power of revups and is faster than both stock for stock. My 04 will smoke your 06 btw. OP- get an 07. Even though the hood is ugly IMO, the HR more than makes up for it. They are putting out great numbers stock and will run low 13s all day long.

 

I just bought my '07 Enthusiast 4 weeks ago for $30k otd.
No brainer if you ask me.

 

wow!!! enthusiast comes with that volks 18/19 on 07? because if i can remember correctly, those wheels only offered on track and GT...

 

not standard

 

Sorry - I should have mentioned I swapped my stocks out to the RAYS wheels this past week. Oops

 

You also need to increase the power of your '05 by about 30hp...

240lbs/30hp = 8lbs/1hp
Seems to make up for itself in the straights at least.

 

If you wanna spend $30k - deal with the dealer to get an 07 enthusiast for that money.

 

get a RSX! and save urself about 6-7k and u'll b smoking Z's all day long BEASTTTTTTTTTT!!! RSX FTW!

 

i dont buy anything used. its like marrying a woman that is divorced....nothing but problems.

i wish someone would have told me the 18/19 rays cost $3600 from the stealership when i got the car. i thought they were gonna be like 2500 or less. i wanted those rims so bad. ARG.

 

If you have $30k buy new and get what you want.

 

you can get 07 enthu for $30K OTD

 

get an 03 they are lighter 3100lbs.........always go with a 6mt, no matter what in the end it just feels right

 

Are you CRAZY!!!! I have never seen a stock RSX smoke a Z.........the RSX is not in the same league!!!!!

 

Put that in your V-TEC and smoke it!

 

I picked them up from a member on here for $1800 w/ tires.
Buying them new from a dealer would cost you far more than $3600.

 

Im actually going tomorrow to the dealer to test some out. he said he will "hook me up".

 

2007 Enthusiast $29K OTD FTW!!!!!

 

there are sooo many opinions here, all i am going to say is get a 6spd mt. i have the auto, i wish everyday i could zap it into a 6spd mt

 

i think the 06 might be slower but 07's hood is ugly and u can make the 06 faster with mods. i dont think the little hp difference really matters stock for stock if u plan on modding.
