for some reason, no matter how old they are, they can still easily smoke the Civic or Accord. Guess the torque is playing the major part of it!

I would like to drive it for months or so...but to own it, I heard it cost more $$$ to maintain the car well!

VR6 is nice too...but how's insurance? You should keep that in mind too!

Don't buy a modded car. It's been pushed too much.

ppl soup up hyundais, oldsmobiles, cavaliers, kias, focus... and they look great too - it doesn't mean that we should all go out and buy a junker to modify It kinda depends on the individual skill level.

noAC that's true - I spent over a grand just on regular maintenance in one weekend - just imagine if something else broke
