I guess I might be an older person by some standards, but I refuse to grow up, hah! :D
In 1991 the car was sold to Reggie Jackson for $89,000 and two years ago sold at auction for $190,000. It was a red vert with a white top. A lot of people saw it on TV when it sold. |
anyone know any good shops around West Chester, PA that are reputable and fair on prices? I just bought 3.73 gears and need to get them installed.

I am also really mature for my age and unlike most other teenages with V8's, i dont find being a Jackass in my car to be something to joke about. These cars demand respect and when you thing you are a man, it will show you its ass in a hurry. Gosh, I sound like you you old fart :D Hope yalls opinion of my hasnt changed. LOL better than the hondas I used to want...oh lord, what was I thinking.
payin my own car payments, gas, and all my mods AND , i hate to say, used to like the civics , preludes, and all that crap... my friend got me into the domestic side and im glad he did... and we both have 35ths, whatta coincidence :cool: |
Awesome man, I used to want a honda too so dont be ashamed...I got to ride in a pretty sick cobra one time, and since then, its been all about the domestics. :D

While my loyalties are always with the blue oval... don't bash Honda.
They make some pretty sick cars... the NSX-R spanked the Lambo Murcielago + Gallardo, Ferrari 360 Modena, Porsche 911, and BMW M3 CS-1 on a road track course... with a 200hp handicap to the Murcielago's 560. Plus... they get good gas mileage :D |
they're good cars....its just when people waste their money on the unpleasant things, such as "fart" cans, bigass park benches (wings), etc etc....i guess you could call it "Riced Out"
its just not my taste... but im not bashing honda...they make some good economy cars and going with what you just said...some pretty quick ones |
4:10 RPM/Speed Calculation

Oh the good lord knows id love to get gas mileage like a honda, so im not bashing their engineers AMAZING economy skills. But from a performance standpoint, it cost WAY too much money to make one fast and reliable. Oh and might we add that the "Honda" Nsx R costs almost 100k. But yes, id love to have one but I could do a lot more with a 100k. :D Used ferrari anyone?
