In the end, every car has its appeal. I guess for a true car enthusiest, brand and configuration doesnt matter. For me its the the technology. It gets me hot.

I dont see what the fuss is about. We all know the K series is stout, stock or built. There are a couple in houston that lay 630 rwhp ona stock block. Its the RSX chassis that is subpar for a Honda. Actually, it really is the fault of the Honda team that decided to go strut up front on the older civics. Anyways... FWD is gay.

How much do you have to spend to make your car weigh 2000 lbs?
ps Screw RSX I'm thinking boosted Lotus.

I actually thought rsx were cool, but not after months of bs threads about it. the one op posted is prolly one of the only ones that's breaking 500whp+ rsx get's stalloned on a daily basis by evo, sti, zs and gs. they're in a lower calibur with civics, altimas etc...

the car was made in 1995 .. a mid to high 14 second sedan in 1995 is impressive

again, pros got the car into the 15s. the 5.5 gen is the fastest Maxima. the 3.0L V6 was great, in 1991........

they ran 14s by taking stuff out of the car. and either way, you cant tell me that the 4th gen was faster than the 5.5 gen.
255hp > 190hp
