Doesn't sound like a bad event.
I'll gather the fellas around and see if they are interested.


I need some daytime shots of the GSX, so I look forward to it.

Should be pretty big. Here is a pretty cool vid of a honda-tech meet.

I hate Hondas.

Speed Factorys isn't bad though.
My buddy Joel was running just shy of 9s last year.

Car should be there. Probably in break in period.
Motor went in tonight.

Most DSMs are FWD. Not all hondas are FWD. So maybe you hate FWD and not an actual high powered auto maker?

Yea my convert was FWD and decently quick but that has been long gone. I asked why the hate on Honda and you said why not and went on about FWD. To me it sounded like you hate on Honda because they make mostly FWD cars. If I misunderstood then my bad, I just don't like when people bash automakers based on just the import scene.

Btw, I own an S2000 now so have to say RWD>AWD

an S2Gay?

Wow, I should wear my "#### Your Honda" sweatshirt

Waste of time and money to pour a shit ton of cash into a honda just to keep up with aspirated cars.

99% of the damn hondas you see nowa days are dumb high school kids thinking they are the shit. When I was in high school I bashed ALL of the import kids at school, because 99% of them thought they were cool and fast. the other 1% well, just joined the bandwagon. My car was known at my highschool for being the quickest, and even the turbo motor swapped hondas couldn't hang.

Thats the reason I hate hondas. They give imports a bad name. Period.

There are few exceptions, I'm nopt sippin' on HATERADE but the majority of them are ugly, sound like shit, and look even worse. Plain and simple.

S2K's are just as pointless, just like the NSX -- A poor mans sportscar IMO.

AWD>RWD>FWD

Survey:
Best platform for the Dry? AWD -- Quick and easy accelleration.
Best platform in the Snow? AWD -- RWD wont make it up the hill.
Best platform in the Rain? AWD -- Much more traction and controlability.

We'll leave out rallying, FWD does have benefits in that, but what platform is known for rally cars?
AWD.

Anything else?

Yes you are sippin haterade, infact I think you just drank the whole bottle. Hondas don't give imports a bad name, people do. How many riced out DSMs have you seen in your life, I've seen more then plenty. And how is it s2ks are pointless? Is it because they are track monsters in stock form?

People like you give imports a bad name. You bash automakers just because of a bunch of high school kids. I bet your the type that hates domestics too, right? You can wear your ''I love Honda shirt'' all you want buddy, it just futher relects how ignorant you really are.
