heh... ive been that guy before. back when i had a shop i built myself a little civic for the hell of it. made 416fwhp on pump gas low boost, weighed 2300lb, had tall gears and sticky tires. i raced built NA Z06 and took him out (edit: correction, it was a dead even race, sorry it was a few years ago had to recall back) from about 80-165 and the guy was asking me WTF i had in there... its pretty funny. but guess who gets the last laugh? i spend 45 grand to build that car, including big ass brakes, full road race suspension, 6 point cage the works... a civic doesnt get any more badass than the one i built.... i drove it only 3 times before parting it out and selling it at a complete loss. at the time, i also had my 575rwhp 350z and while its no exotic, i just had no interest at all in that civic, it was a lot more fun to build it then it was to drive it, even tho it was probably a hair faster than the Z.
lesson learned, ill never build myself an eco box again, no matter how fast, no matter how much cheaper it is, no matter anything... they just arent fun to drive after you have driven real sports cars.
Oh really? Here's a video I found with your ricer racing an SRT-10 pick up. You got walked all over man. What happened ran out of NOS racing a Viper once? Or did you wreck it trying to keep up with a Viper in a tight turn. Like I told the other new guy here, get a girl faggot.

I can understand that.... How it would be more fun, to build the car and reach a fast track time goal, than it would be to drive it. I don't care for imports but I have friends that have them and some of them are 10 & 11 second cars. FAST, but once the goal is accomplished, it would be time to move on for me. I do think the 350Z's are sweet ass cars though. Probably my favorite in the Import lineup. Post video links if you got em!!!!
