Don't get me wrong, s15's are nice to look at, but the comparison between that s15 and this 350z as far as exclusivity and craftsmanship is laughable. Its not like the s15 is ls swapped, or rb/2jz with big t4 and spray.

Just like with those type r's. I remember i saw at the time the only ITR 4 door in the us. The guy was actually super chill, and hosted a bunch of people at his place. But as far as the car it's self.... wicked overhyped.
I'm not saying they're the best cars. I actually think they're the worst looking s-chassis car. I also said there is no comparison so thanks for reiterating what I said.
I'm just saying it looks good.. And the 2p crkais are nice

On another note
My daily vote is in for the 350

So I see the winner gets custom wheels and some other stuff. How does that affect your current sponsor deals?

Whoa. Those Battle 27 vote numbers are crazy high. Hate to be a loser in that battle. And looks like they may have a ridiculous following, going forward.

Brian and that Civic's numbers were high as well. I feel that they would've been even higher if the other owner would've persisted rather than gave up. Regardless, Brian and the TSX should be going to SEMA and that competition should be interesting to see who wins overall. Going to be an exciting next couple of weeks

I thought that rx7 was the winner I would rather see that then any TSX. Guess I was wrong voting is open

That TSX was up against tough competition, cars that was clearly built better and had better "flow" imo.

I can respect the work that's gone into the TSX... but stripping and shaving an interior just to paint it.. no roll cage.. heated seats.. the car has no direction or some what incomplete. The cars he went up against were far superior in terms of "build quality". Just goes to show how sideways this competition is.

the tsx is ok but the rx7 would have been my choice on that end. never underestimate the honda/acura nation. also they see nothing else too, even if the other car is superior. a piece of crap honda with no motor, tranny, wheels or ecu can still beat anything you put it up against. their logic is undeniable

I prefer that BRZ to both the TSX and RX-7, to be honest. I think it's modified cleanly and intelligently, and it just looks mean. The Acura just looks like rice.

It will be alright. Car enthusiasts usually has a sort of comradery with our love for cars.
The dude is probably a nice guy in person and I'm sure you're much bigger than he is
