Default Hondas not worth it?

OK I faaly realized why all the v8 guys flame us. I just bought a 2000 gt for 10,500 leather the works. I ordered my powerdyne supercharger. should in next week. Im estimating 450whp and high to mid 11 sec on street drag ridals. all this for a low price on less that 15000. can I say less. Its just to expensive to make a honda run 11's on street tires and still be fully loaded. I mean I love the looks and sound of a turbo honda but the only prob is fwd I wish the were rwd

its no secret that V8s are faster at drag than a honda (in general !!)

too many people drag racing is not be all end all. I dont mod my car to get a timeslip...i simply like driving it, and i can tell you i have 93486534099865 X more fun driving my honda than i do V8s.

Isnt that the truth also. The imports handle better than any v8s out there thats for sure.

Only domestic I would see myself in is a Z06. Beautiful car and AWESOME handling and great f-in power band, best car I have driven in a while. But again you spend 50k.. You get what you pay for simple as that.

I don't like the v-8 and v-6 I see around here too much. But that BMW M3 rodster has got my eye...along with the Mini and drop a M3 motor in there.

Out of all the cars I have driven the most fun...other than my Honda was my Alfa Spider...that Alfa would out handel 99% of the stuff on the street...and it was a little 2L 4 banger rear wheel drive also. But I miss her too much.

no ttrying to bash anyone here but how much was that mustang new? 20-24 grand? just curious. and you payed 10,500. That says alot for resale value. Good job you got it used. and my friend has a powerdine on his 92 5.0 and you wil be very impressed. Its well worth the money. Theres nothing like it, power the sec you punch the cars and fast as hell. have fun
