The fact that Porsche had the lowest number of problems per 100 vehicles (with their 997 line I'm assuming) is surprising. |

[QUOTE=Green Tea,Jun 7 2006, 08:28 PM] gm: vette, tell me a car from honda/acura that can match that, camaro z28, sky redline
dodge: viper, ford: ford GT, svt and eventually the gt500 toyota: supra, far more power and modability than the nsx/s2k Honda only has 2 sport cars, |
okay fan boi, lets break it down for you. I guess ricers like you raised by the civic generation can be pretty obnoxious? Resorting to insults on a message board shows you can't back up much of your fanboism. Safe to say you aren't all that smart?
tsx, the jetta gli is more sporty and is rated higher by most magazines the tl competes against the a4, 3 series, lexus, etc and is rated lower than these cars. the civic/si competes against the gti and is rated lower than the gti and a simple reflash and you'll dust the civic si. the rl is a total flop type r, what about it, its an overrated/overpriced pos car maybe you should go back to temple of vtec, all you honda fanbois can talk about how great that overpriced 90k nsx is and how the increase in torque for the s2k will make it competitve till the next millenium. :rofl: Tell me how well the nsx fairs against the vette, viper, and other companies sport cars? |
