I'm pissed that my st is so slow. Some girl in a civic ex was blocking both lanes and acting like an idiot in traffic, i was behind her and she wouldnt move as cars in front pulled away. i decided to go around her. then she decided to get back into the lane. I had a head start and floored it to try and get in front and back into my lane. my she just sped up and didnt let me in. i felt like such an idiot in a loud slow car. then later that night some guy in a old v6 accord did the same thing. i dont think my car has an edge in regular traffic just to pass others and maneuver. ill probably sell her sometime this year after i fix up the gt.

i know st's are slow, but i have never had any problems with out maneuvering other cars. hell, they just get out of my way when they see me close to their rear bumper.
But i also thought ur st was a turbo? -------------------- Chris Malaqui

If your hoping for better performance out of the GT, you won't get much. It's still slow. I'm begining to wonder just how fast this thing would be with a 3s. I'm looking at the market for one.

just tap there rear bumper. when ever theres a dick in the fast lane a gentle tap of there rear bumper gets them out of the way.

I have a GT and I think it's super slow. When people ask me how many hp my car has, I play dumb and tell them I don't know. It's better for them to "think" it's fast.

our cars (the North American ones) are purley for looks IMO
they're bumped up economy cars with a sexy exterior very nice and all, but if you want serious speed unfortunatley, over here, you gotta look elsewhere
