It was this morning very early before work. The roads were deserted. My buddy has a 2000 Type R with only a comptech exhaust. We raced for about 4 blocks. In a nutshell, he killed me off the line and was ahead by almost a full car length. From about the first 1/2 block to the finish my car was faster but I lost by about 2-3 feet. 1 more block and I would have won.

personally, I love honda's. wow so many people will hate me now. i chose between buying a civic, and a 6gc. i guess i chose the *right* one, there were just too many civics out here. anyway, my boyfriend owns a 99 ex, with a full edelbrock turbo kit. running at only 5psi he can beat 5 litre mustangs, and that's also with stock internals. honda's are great great great cars, they're soo freakin reliable, they last forever! i know of an accord that has like, 600000 miles on it, NEVER replaced anything major on it, ever. just regular tune-ups and oil changes and **** like that, and it's still goin fine. i just think it's stupid when people hate honda's for absolutely no reason. there really isn't much difference between toyota and honda. they make different cars, obviously, but when it comes down to it, they both make amazing vehicles. ..just thought i'd put my 2 cents in

Honda bashing is dumb....I have a friend with an all white '02 RSX with the full JDM Integra Type R exterior conversion, and Type R wheels, and I really like it. Also, the stock RSX K-series engine has so much pull and excitement to it when you really get on the throttle....its really a fun car to cruise around in with him. Makes me kinda jealous. If anything, I think the power delivery and feel of the engine is far smoother than most sports cars I've been in, so its not fair to bust on a Honda. Personally, they arent my favorite....but before anybody says anything negative or positive about a car, you should first have some real-world experience on which to base your opinions.
