Is that what caught my eye, or was it the color? Something looked different for sure.

no need to justify it for yourself or us .. just realize that you're jelous, get over it, and enjoy the car you have .. it's a great car
now if you cant live with your mistake go trade it in* like others, loose a ton money on that and buy the one you like

The 8 is so sexy and original. It's an INDEPENDEDNT car....their is no UPGRADE 8 with higher HP... and a bigger spoiler...or a ho0d sco0p that makes it look different!

Sorry guys...i just had to get this off my chest. Theres been too much talk about the STi and the sRt4..lo0k past the HP people!

cheers!
* side effects include posting treads about feeling stupid about loosing money on the trade in

Sorry Ike, I got a vidoe of a POS honda civic beating the snot out of a viper during a rolling drag. All it took was a few of those after market parts you are hyping about on the civic to make it a monster.

Now was it widely hailed as one of the best performance bargains on the planet...no, but hey it was only some dumb kid who modded that thing, I would expect better from a company like mitsu or subbie or dodge...

Well, when I see that kids civic taking some pro class drag racing title multiple times, maybe you'll have a point.

of course by then he will have to rename it something else, because changing the brakes, suspension, adding a trubo, and putting on an ugly *** wing means it's a different car...

Fine, he can name it the Civic POS uncle bens ed. It's still won't compete at the top levels of drag racing. The STi is not a parts bin special, despite what you may like to think.

Not really a fair comparison. The Edsel is a far better looking car.
