Thank you for the compliment

I agree, just a couple mods can really make a car stand out in day to day traffic, but once you get in the mix with other cars at shows etc...it becomes a challenge to do something differently and stand out without it being in a bad way.

i.e. NOT a cop magnet

you watch this video and tell me you money is on the civic SI

and you may go oh but that is the ZR1 corvette, well it is still a corvette and I have some more factoids. The Z06 which is a popular to own corvette, did the nurburg in 7:22!! even faster than the ZR1 because there was a better driver.

I had a twin turbo C5 which was faster than the C6 Z06, but to remain stock a C5 which any own of us can buy ran the nurburgring in a 7:40!

to gain some perspective here. the brand new civic si can do it in 9:38.........
Put the ZR1 and the Si against each other in a parking lot gymkhana and I know who will win. I watched a VW blow a Ferrari Daytona off the track at one.

BTW, my Si sedan handled almost as good and in some ways better than my G does even with all the mods I put in. It was a blast to drive and also had the best shifter I have ever used.

And they stop to look at the coupe? Let's be real if they are a kid or a person who is interested in cars they will stop to look (or discretely glance(used to love the honda discretely looking at my mustang's rims lol my girlfriend and I made it a game to catch them)) at a car that is modified regardless of make or model

And the v10 in the Lamborghini gallardo that is the same as the s8? The D3 series S8 features a 5.2-litre all-aluminium alloy four-valves per cylinder V10 petrol engine. This engine is a derivative of the Lamborghini Gallardo's original 5.0-litre Lamborghini V10,[17] which was also developed under the Volkswagen Group ownership.

But no a Lamborghini gallardo isn't a super sports car right?

I think if your average Walmart customer saw Candlestick's sedan in the parking lot they would be thinking, "Oh how shiny, this mother****** is getting some door dings....."

Ford's GT had a truck motor in it and it was the fastest production car of the time.

The best version of the Elise had a Honda K20 motor. Same as the Atom.
