Which means I have to associate myself with you by owning the car. And I don't wanna be associated with econobox performance activism for equal rights. You're in a civic. Accept it. You're not in a better car like the Z as Z owners must accept they don't own Porsche's n Porsche owners must accept. You're no Ferrari & Ferrari owners must accept you're no Bugatti.

In a civic, you're one upping a Kia Rio. That's one to grow on.
This is probably the most idiotically...unreasonable...nonsense commentary I've read all week...year...yes year.

I'd never pay $45,000 for a civic when I can pay $25,000 for a GTi.
I can agree to this based on reasoning alone, but everything before that was just heinous BS with zero bases. I don't even care for Civics or BRZ's. But to even make a statement like that...Is just simple minded ignorance.

"Ferrari owners must accept you're no Bugatti"... seriously wtf does that even mean. There isn't a single aspect to any argument where that makes any sense or even factually checks out. There are several Ferrari's that cost more, are worth more, and are faster than anything produced by Bugatti. The only claim behind a Bugatti (Veyron or Chiron) is acceleration and top speed, and in both regards there are cars that trump it, for less money or more. In a nut shell, the most recent Bugatti's are nothing more the exotic VW show pieces. Deny it...I dare you.

This is borderline some hate speech a wannabe supremacist would say. Whether you like or not, you're associated...accept it. You bought a Japanese produced car like anyone who owns a Civic or BRZ.

Never once did I say I didn't like Californians. Perhaps you should do some research before making erroneous assumptions. Or at least work on your so called 'mental energy' for more accurate results.

since this thread is going in 6 different directions already, mind if I ask a question? How the hell are you allowed to modify cars in CA with all the ***-backwards laws there?

First off, very little to nobody gives a fvck what you agree with. Trust me on that. I been here a long time. N I even went thru a phase of acting like the pure bytch u being right now. I hadn't got pvssy in three months. So there's your cure my man.

The Ferrari Bugatti n so forth analogies are not based on preference. They are based on power, performance n u get that you pay for.

When a challenger demon can take a corner like a BUGATTI, have a Bugatti interior and so forth, I'll call them equal. But it can't. So solely getting to 60 in 2.3 seconds doesn't make them equal. This is my point.
I don't own a civic or. BRZ so I'm not associated with them just by owning a Japanese car....
It's funny that you state I made a supremacist statement. Well you just made a stereotypical one. You're saying that Japanese people make one model car and they all feel the same thru the ranges? See how easy it is to do what you do, slouch.

Having to break shyt down to the last compound cuz you try to twist people's points is about the most idiotic thing any forum has to deal with.

Hey now! I owned a 2013 Civic Si! I nicknamed it the bathtub!!!

It handled like a tub, was white like a tub, was slow like a tub, and running water from a tub sounded better than the noises it made.

Oh, and I could shift the stupid thing without touching the clutch. Everyone complains about 1-2 shifting in the Z, but the Civic's clutch was so light I could hulk smash my foot through the floor and not feel a single thing. Oh, and for 24k, it didn't even come with satellite radio.

That car single handily made me decide to NEVER own another Honda ever again.

Oh, and the Z had a higher rpm range than that POS Si did as well. V-TEC my arse.

For all the bad rap Honda gets, mine was fantastic. It started every time, was good on gas and had enough torque to never bog down no matter how high I had let the grass grow since the last time I mowed. Also, just like their automobiles, it was stolen.

Was yours an older model? I ran blizzaks on mine all winter and it got stuck on 5 separate occasions. Once in a slight dusting of snow. Whenever the car sensed it lost traction, it cut literally all power to the point of stalling. Turning TC off just allowed me to melt the snow until the car found some traction and also allowed me to burn the clutch out of pure hatred for the thing.

Mine never got stuck. It was self propelled, and the 1.5hp pulled it along just fine. The Briggs and Stratton I replaced it with is just disappointing.

What in the actual hell happened to this thread?!?!?!?

Can we just say it has more torque and move on?

Or pick your flavor:
  • Understeer
  • Oversteer

Thank you drive thru.
