I can respect that! I used to have an Accord with the 4cyl VTEC. It was a great car until my brother mated it to the side of an Infiniti.

That's better than the greeting I'm getting on my350z.com LOL and Thank you!

That shows you the difference in mindset from those who are fans of cars compared to those that are fans of A car

Nice car.
Too small for me.
When I get "mated" by a VTEC Accord I want to have more car around me.

Hey my car has good safety ratings! What do you know about side curtain airbags! lol

I don't see every wanting a mustang (just personal preference) I like lighter cars.

What I really want to build is an 87 CRX with a k20 (possibly k20/k24 hybrid) swap and make it a track car... with the k24 I'd be eating vettes on the drag strip! 2000lbs WOOT

Not everyone wants a Mustang. Mustang is definitely good bang for the buck and the V8 is soooo much fun, but they are certainly not for everyone. Others prefer AWD, higher revving motors, etc. Nothing wrong with that So many great cars out there!

We've had just as many Hondas as Mustangs...95 hatchy, 97 hatchy, 04 EX coupe, 04 Si EP hatchy, 06 RSX Type S, 07 TL Type S, 10 Accord V6, and now 10 TL SH-AWD with 6 speed. Loved them all!

Thanks for all the welcomes

I definitely have to say I absolutely love the K-series, it's really incomparable to all the previous civic engines

I only speak from direct experience:
Airbags are completely useless when you come into contact with the 2nd or 3rd large object after the 1st contact (i.e. when they have deflated).
I have been in many accidents (I am a terrible passenger). I know of what I speak.
I know many people that like small cars but...
Let's be careful out there.

Another thing I should add to my resume, I don't drive like an idiot. Don't even speed (except when I do a quick redline pull)

I assumed your driving was fine as is my driving record.
My problem has been with the idiots who keep running into things including cars I am sitting in.

Yea after joining my350z.com I was pretty shocked that the mustang forum was so much more...mature?

Here's my intro thread on the 350z site...it's full of ignorance and little boys who like 350z's I guess lol

http://my350z.com/forum/other-vehicl...ivic-si-4.html

Pretty embarrassing the way they act for their own community

Thanks all, I can't wait to go test drive the new 5.0 :OO either my friends or at a dealership but sometime this week!

It's a sick engine

Oh btw I might be beta testing skunk2's new 74mm DBW throttle body (stock for my car is 62mm and I'm running a 64mm atm)
So stoked! I should know if I get picked within the next few days
