This is by far the funniest thing I have read all week.

The first year of NSX production was 1990. Unless you just meant that the NSX without the flip-ups that came out in 2002? which is likely. What does shockwave drive just out of curiosity?

I think he was just pointing out a technicality that the NSX was “produced” by Acura.

The problem being that the majority of Honda builds ASPIRED to be a bucket of fail. The whole point was to build a turbo monster that could only do highway pulls.

So only being able to do 60mph rolls isn’t cool? :lol:

Where is Beck he would do that BS back with his sub 300hp civic :lol:

In the US yeah. But we had the Acura NSX sub '02 as well.

I remember pulling into packed parking lots with my turbo bucket of fail built strictly for highway rolls and everyone and their mother regardless of what they owned would stare/come over to look at it. That car was pretty fucking cool in its day. Prolly cooler than any 04+ GTO that has ever roamed the streets in Buffalo as a matter of fact. 😛

The best fwd platform ever made for going fast will always be cool in my book. My Accord Crosstour is not cool. Would be kinda cool if it was slammed and HFPd out… but I am too cheap to spend money on it.

Buying **any** make or model to make yourself look cool = you’re lame.  
Buying **any** make or model to be part of a “scene” = you and your friends are lame.  
Buying a car based on cost vs. performance for your income = not cool, but better than being lame.

I’ve raced against enough Hondas to respect them.

So what’s wrong with NA Civics?

I don’t see the problem with buying a car based on cost vs performance for your income or budget. I understand having preferences but sometimes when you don’t make a lot of money you try to get the most bang for your buck. I know as I’m pricing out my next car I have to do that to an extent. I make very little money but want something fun to drive and thats not a complete dog. However I totally agree that buying a car based on a scene or what will make you look cool is stupid.
