Test drove 5 cars today and 2 I shouldn't have

[Jims 86LXI HB]

1. 95 black LS integra w/gsr rims
2. 99 black GSR integra with leather(way down on power, broke?)
3. 98 black GRR integra with AEM CAI and DC Sport Cat-back
4. New Civic SI (boring compaired to #3)
5. 2003 Acura CL Type-S with 6-sp and LSD

Number 3 was a blast and I really had to hold onto my wallet, I really think I'm going to get it, just depends on my accident settlement.

Number 5 totally kicked ass wow!, what can I say. The thing kept on pinning me in my seat. And the guy said 100mph was ok so I let her rip and man what a engine sound. But gee reality check $33k:crying: :crying: Strangely the handling wasn't very lively, my car felt better, go figure.:rolleyes:

I WISH I could afford #5!

My girlfriend's parents have the TL Type S and I've driven it a couple of times.....that is a FAST car, 100MPH feels like you're poking around town. The reason turns don't seem so crisp is because, well, it's just quite big! Granted, it does handle amazingly well for something it's size.

Very good point. Well power wise they all slay my car. But in the fun to drive cause of handling department I created a monster with my 3rd gen, a pretty tuff act to follow. None of them have the "ready to kick your ass right now" feel that I love so much on my car. I'm going to treat my 3rd gen as a hobby and slowly spent time on it to try and bring it back to life. Sometime next week I plan to have it towed to a body shop and have them tell me how much they'd charge to straighten the front end. If not to much I'll have em do it and then go from their. But I still want the GSR#3.

Oh I guarantee if I got ahold of it I'd make it feel allot more lively:D your right it is bigger

Oh my gawd I just found a GSR that only got 40k on it, and oh yeah, a Jackson Racing SUPERCHARGER! and he wants less than price of #3 hmmm wonder why he's selling it?

[SQ is the SQUAD]

i dont think high compression pistons and a supercharger are a good mix

[Jims 86LXI HB]

Yeah I noticed that after I left the board and he's got a set of cams on the thing to. Wonder how it could pass emissions.:rolleyes:
