Just figured as the only avid domestic poster I should throw that in.

and they are very fun to drive once you get a different rear end, clutch and exaust on it. you'll be sliding that ass end out every time you really get on it. i love the feel of tq pinning you to your seat. hoestly, the only thing keeping me from getting one is the look. no offence to anyone who owns one, but it just looks like too old of a car, and its impossible to find a nice clean one anymore. my friend had a 92 lx 5.0 and it was a beast. wouldnt break down for anything, ran good 95% of the time, didnt exactly like fast sharp turns, but hell.... i doubt many people really take advantage of how well some of our hondas can handel.
strait line speed you cant beat a v8 $1 for $1. turbo's come close... but all motor thats as fast as a turbo car will get more credit in my book any day.
my car is just doing good as an all around good car with mediocore speed (mids 14's) and decent/good handling, but if i wanted a strait line dragster.... there would be 8 cyclinders and rwd.
