If you like cars you like cars!!! PERIOD BTW it doesn’t matter when a person was modifing there car in what year and which mag. they were in. IT HAPPENED. I’m sure I could find an article, searchin is all it takes…but in an article with a guy that has a newer age honda tuned says hes been doin it since the 80’s and tell about one of the first he had…thats enough for me.

So this is how this thread has gone so far 1st) asking if anyone knew anything about a specific Chevy Beretta 2nd) then it went to how overpriced the beretta was 3rd) argument over what was better, civic vs beretta 4th) argument over reliability between civic and beretta 5th) argument over which is worth more money, civic vs beretta 6th) which has better interior 95 civic vs 95 beretta 7th) argument over which is faster, heavy domestic v8 vs smaller 4 cyl import 8th) argument over what is considered “heavily modified” 9th) argument over when “import tuning” began 10) argument over newer civic interior for price ratio 11th) horsepower to weight comparison between trucks and import cars Oh, and there may have been an argument in there regarding gas mileage as well… Sheesh…this thread went off the wall…so I am going to guess that no one has any information about that orange beretta on the first page in the first post…:sadwavey: :dunno: LOL, gotta love this place, it never gets dull ---

This was truly an entertaining thread. That Beretta looks like a turd and probably rides like one as well. Is it me or does mostly everyone on this thread care only about how quickly their ride can get from point A to point B when a stright line is involved.
