Also I didn't read this until now. You deserve to have the hell beat out of you for doing 145 on a f'n highway. I don't care what car you did it in or who you are, but you are an assh0le. You want to drive like that go on a damn track. You could have killed someone if you would have wrecked. Imagine having a kid and some dipshit in a middle aged mans car doing 145 wrecking into you only killing your kid. I have a 1 year old daughter and when i read you did that I wished I could tie to to a chair and take the damn car and start driving 145 mph at you and see how you like it. You need to be banned from this site so you don't make yourself look more like a damn retard, and should have your license taken away. The thought of you behind the wheel of any car makes me want to

I actually only started this post because I like to start fights in these forums, I think it's funny, and I was bored. I know full well that no one here is going to agree with me.
As far as going 145, yes, I was a dumbass and I fully realize that. I have a clean driving record otherwise, and am a very safe driver. It was a one time thing that was very stupid, and I would never do it again. I was on an empty highway (except for the cop ) in the middle of north carolina
and there was no one to hit, and it was a straight section, I could see just about everything ahead of me. Don't try and tell me you've never done anything dumb behind the wheel of a car.

Rep Power: 258 I've done plenty of dumb things also. Never 145 mph. But still stupid. That was also before I became a dad and realized how scary it is taking my daughter anywhere bc of so many stupid people on the road. I'll take a little of my reaction away for you bc when I read it I took it as a busy highway you were doing it on, not an empty one. I'm glad you know it was stupid though. Everyone does something stupid at some point in their life. Just don't make a habit of it.

As for the dude with the comment about the trucker hat and the mullet, i'll get rid of that no problem, just do me one thing. Put YOUR hat with the brim over your face, not your ear, fold the collar on your pink polo back down, take the diamond stud out of your ear, shave the chinstrap, put your car seat up, and sit in the damn thing, not over the armrest with your head centered by the radio.
I'll send Ferrari and Chevy an e-mail...i'm sure they'll immediately scrap the use of all their current motors in the exotics and corvettes and switch to 1.7 liter and 2.0 liter turbo 4 cylinders. Because OBVIOUSLY they havent thought of that.
I own a honda, I have every right to be here.

I was using it as a rough estimate. A turbo on an em2 at 8psi would push the 200 mark. And umm. 06 civic si 197hp not sure what whp is but i doubt they lost almost a hundred hp in the axles. oh And um people in cali drive v8's too. Outside of cali smog doesn't apply to v8 or i4's so that whole street legal thing on imports is now down the toilet. Sorry its not well written but the point is there.
p.s. if you hate hondas sooooooo.... much why dont you stop posting in a civic forum??

No offense, but GM's cars have consistently been crap for decades. I have had one, my family and friends have many, and they are all junk.
If you like horribly bland and unusually round styling, terrible depreciation, and generally poor quality, then more power to the american car fans

Sorry, but front wheel drive and forced induction just does not equal good. Sure, you can get high HP, but the ft/lbs arent as high and as close a ratio, and its not a stable, daily driver car.
Theres just something more satisfying about driving a car thats supposed to be fast, then there is about driving a car made for fuel economy and low emissions that somebody tried to make fast, and ended up doing nothing but causing problems.
You'll never convince me that forced induction is better than a big motor. Have you ever experienced standing 20 feet away from an old muscle car and feeling the ground shake from the motor running? It's amazing.

I always giggle at the rumble-feeling of the tow truck pulling away with the 'big-bad' v-8 on the flatbed cuz they forgot they were driving american muscle...not reliable rice.... hehe
oh and I smile at the fact that if one of us goes to sell our civic and we put it back to bone stock it will still seel for more than you paid for that hunk of steel...
plus we ain't got to worry about 'mysterious' GM fluid leaks......

Rep Power: 230 import heads see if differently from the domestics, each has their own advantages.
i just hate when people come on this site hating on imports, you don't see any of us going to domestic sites and claiming they are the **** and domestics suck.
what's even worse is that the car isn't yours. which only leads me to ask what car do you drive?
edit: you drive a fvcking civic, hahha, what a loser. i love it when people contradict themselves. if you hate imports so much, why did you spend money on mods, not that it's much but still, if you hate imports, why not sell it and get a domestic that'll run for 70k with no problems, but after that its history.
must suck to be living a lie.

Rep Power: 0 your talking about intial quality, I dont think thats what everyone is talking about. My family has had a bunch of GM cars. Yeah the newer ones are better, but after 5 years your might as well get rid of the car because its going to start having problems. Usually not even too major of problems, but they end up just costing a lot. And then when it comes to running engines well over 100k there are only a few american motors that can handle running that long without being rebuilt.

This thread is pretty much the perfect example of a retarded import vs domestic argument..... congrats.
Chevy guy: my huge v8 makes lots of power, "no replacement for displacement"
Honda guy: my car is lighter than yours and gets better fuel mileage, "VTEC yo!"
