I go WOT on mine and it's bye-bye. Yum, rice for breakfast.

Good job dood. It was awesome racing him on a public road wasn't it? What if some little kid ran out into the street? You were so busy waving you p3nis around you could have killed someone you idiot. I can't believe you are bragging about this. :|

Fun factor comparison
Integra vs GS400
FWD -- RWD
150hp I4 -- 300hp V8
Skidpad performance: .76g -- .87g
Slalom (100ft): 58.9 mph -- 66.9 mph
Stopping distance (60 mph): 143ft -- 112ft
1/4 mile: 16.1 sec -- 14.3 sec

Fun is of course something subjective but by the numbers which car do you think is more "fun" to drive?

Link your source as I have only 0.81 for the GS400 and up to 0.89 for the 'teggy.

That's all well and good for a normal Integra, but I think a Type R would be much more 'fun' than your GS400

A Civic is still a great car nonetheless. I would love to have one.

It's more fun to drive a slow car fast than it is to drive a fast car slow.

GS400 is an "ok" car (speed-wise) but it isn't that fast anymore.

A lot of cars are running mid 14s these days... even Altimas.

Not to say I dont like your car. It's a good car, & I would buy it over an Altima NEW.

My car is not fast but my audio is loud. Whenever someone pulls up next to me blasting their music I turn mine down. I dont want to make people feel like crap.
If my car was fast and I saw some guy who was driving a POS thinking he was fast I would have let him think he was fast.

But if you had fun you had fun. :)
