glad you like the new car Adam. sorry to hear about the bunny. the 3800 is an iron horse, they really are good engines. if its any idication of that, i see tons of royally clapped out cars with 3.8's rolling around atlanta...if it was any other engine, they would probably be up on blocks by now.
people may look down on the GM sedans but its a fine DD.

MM Import vs. Domestic touge battle showdown!! :lol:
I was reading through some old late 80's/early 90's Car and Driver's in the library the other day and (somewhat of a surprise to me) the writers loved the SHO to death. In fact their only complaint I read was that Ford wasn't marketing it enough. I always thought it was a quirky sedan with a badass engine but it truly was the cream of the sport-sedan crop back in the day. Kudos to you Adam, kudos.

bet taken. shit, mine is just a civic! it doesn't even pretend to be a sports car like an mr2.
edit: i do respect the sho. it's a cool car, but one needs to know when tp just give up.

On a more personal note it beat the BMW E30 in the C&D comparison like a red headed step child (1st SHO vs. 3rd for the 325)

As impractical as it is, a MR2 has got to be a sports car. The engine is in the back, the efffing back.

Yea Righttttt

MM Battle... SHO vs. MR2/Civic/GTI

Had I taken the subs and tools out the trunk and it would have. Don't deny it wasn't close.

This is sounding a lot like we all need to go to the drag strip this summer.

uhhh no?
bring whatever car to summit. we'll empty it out, get it tech'd, and i'll take it out and videotape a few laps. afterwards, we'll watch the video and calculate some times. i know it won't even be close enough that we'll need anything more accurate.

typical ricer excuses..and that was only on the highway. 33w would have been a whole new story

Really, Felton's circuitcross is the answer.
It's the perfect blend of dragstrip, road course, and autocross for dick measuring.

Fine by me, I would like to see what it can do with someone who knows how to drive. Just don't wreck it - if the crash doesn't kill you I will.

No, it's simple. I showed up, RJ didn't, therefore RJ forfeited and Rex is teh winnar!
