Default Is my car good enough?

Is it worth pouring money into a 99 V6 sedan Accord or should i sell it and get a Civic or something else? I haven't modified it at all yet because i just got it, but i have big plans. I just want to build a car that looks good and can smoke all the stock domestics around me that think they're hot ****. Can i do that with my car?

Answer to your question, yes of course. The V6 Accord is a great car to make go faster or look even better. To me personally I have much more respect for a souped up Accord rather than a Civic, why? Because everyone and their dog has one!

You in the end have to make the decision if it's worth putting time, money into your car, if you don't like it, what we say isn't going to make a difference.

I dislike most Civics because they **** me off. Thats why I say go ahead with the Accord. More space in the engine bay for a bigger engine, and just better build quality and luxury. As for beating domestics, well if you want to beat neons and stuffl like that, thats not a problem, if you mean F-bodies, then that all depends upon how much money you want to dump into it. The only replacements for displacement are technology and money.

Accord Pride buddy...I have the same car as you, and with some major money you will be able to smoke all domestics...But dont expect to do it with 1000 bucks or less. Since the engine is pretty new, not a lot has been made for it yet, but there are things out there you can find. When it comes to making it dope looking, the Accord has naturally sexy bodylines, and with about 1500 to 2000 bucks to spend on ground effects(and maybe rims if you go that money), you can make a resonably decent show car...plus the chicks dig the leather!

isn't it kind of hard to find parts for the V6 though?

Thanks for the help. I love my car and I have about $2500 to spend, but I don't want to put a lot of time and money into my car to find that it's limited in what I can do because it's a V6 or because it's a sedan. I think I'll keep it though. Thanks again.
