At the strip I would take a 03. At the road course I would take the R.

i need my air conditioning.

Yeah, but you ain't gonna use it on the road course! A helmet fan is the best you are getting.

no, this is texas, i'd still use it.

No doubt if it was a daily driver.

Millennium.
I know its a Cobra R. I always say Cobra Type R because I'm a dumbass.

 

[NewSc2]

If it's any help, I know of a few people getting $21k quotes. Best I could do was $21,500, but I haven't bought the car yet.

holy fvck i just got my allstate quote.

Acura RSX-S

$2744.98 EVERY 6 MONTHS! ><

Edit: thats minimum coverage...

A regular RSX is still $2358.91 🙁

The Cobra R looks nifty, but I am definitely not diggin' the wing.

The wing HAS to be like that for the downforce it needs.

Again, please read my original post and drop this. I said NOTHING about the damn Cobra R being rarer than any of the M-series' cars. DROP IT. I did not think the Cobra R was that expensive + markup, but I guess it is. That wasn't my argument, and I care not about taking it further...

That will teach you to not enter an argument that you when you don't know what you are talking about.

Grow up.

At least you were smart enough to check before you bought the car. Too many kids don't stop to think that the insurance payment, if paid monthly, will be equal to, if not more expensive than the car payment.

$2750 per 6 months is almost $460 a month. The car payment would be, oh, say $350 or so. $800-900 a month is insane just to drive around. I guess you'll be waiting a little while longer to get that RSX then, huh?

Forget the RSX -jsut get a 97+ Honda Prelude SH 😉

Hey, remember when you said Cobra-Rs cost $80-$90 Grand but in reality they cost $20,000 less? You were shut down SO many times in this thread that it's embarrassing.

They did cost 80-90k with the dealer markup when they came out. I should now since there were people who BOUGHT them and posted the invoice and pricing on the Corral among other forums. Where was a shut down a single time? I wasn't. Ah I missed you PowerMac, did your parents finally give you your computer back?

your parents should take away yours 😉 quit trashing my thread.

Progressive just quoted me $1390 every 6 if i get a security system with fuel shutdown. Not nearly as bad.

Edit: screw allstate 😉 a local insurance co just trashed em too... $1410.

I'm not an English major, but I believe there is a difference between "cost" and "did cost." As for said shut downs, feel free to re-read the entire thread. Oh, and I missed you too Millenium.. especially your personal attacks. In fact, remember that one time you insulted me and the moderators had to shut you up? I stopped posting here mainly because it was slow-going with dialup, but I'm back now that I have broadband. And it already appears my knowledge of the automobile is greater than yours.

State Farm $980 with drivers training and fuel shutdown 🙂

Allstate is the devil. I don't understand how they can still be in business with the ridiculous quotes they give people. I'm in my thirties, married with 2 kids, no accidents or tickets and they still quote me 2X anybody else.

'00 Cobra R's still sell for $90K as they are collector cars. Only 300 were produced. Even Viper\Ferrari guys give them respect and thats saying quite a bit.

As for the RSX have fun with it but please dont rev on a guy in a "breather modded" '03 Cobra because you'll get taught a severe lesson in torque like that kid who did it to me today. He did give me a "thumbs up" so maybe he was egging to see what I had. He did. The chip and pulley go on in a few weeks.
