Just thinking about Gone in 60 Seconds, The Fast and the Furious and a few PS2 racing games... I dunno why, but I always seemed to like the look of a decked out Civic coupe (no overdone spoilers though, that just looks cruddy). I know they aren't really fast, but they've got pep, and, well they're hondas ;)

Remember in gone in 60 seconds when the civic 'kept up' with the Porsche? That kind of surprised me, but if you think about it, it's quite feasible.. Decked out Civic coupe and a bare, base Porsche.. if I remember correctly, the Porsche took off quicker (figures, Hondas are notorious for having little low-rpm torque) but the Civic kept up.

I'm not too fond of the newer Camaros, but there are some old models that I really like (I'm not sure which years, but probably around the 70s).

oh and I just have to say... Echo is suck (style-wise ;)) :D

For practical day to day driving? Contour SVT.
For everyday racing? I'd have to say MKII MR2 Turbo

The cars in G60S were a turbocharged Civic SI and a Base Carrera. The Carrera was taking it down as it should have, only a VERY highly modified Civic could even compete with a Porsche.

The McLaren isn't street legal, stock anyway. I would probably want a Ferarri 550...I saw a silver one coming home from work the other day...just gorgeous.

Right now though I have my heart set on a prelude.

Nissan Skyline GT-R
Nissan GT-R (r35!!!)

At least both are street legal in Japan, Hong Kong and Australia.

Well, I grew up at the end of the muscle car days. My first car was a 69 camaro with a factory 396 400hp bigblock. One of my favorite cars is the Yenko 427 all aluminum 450hp(conservative) 69 camaro. How many cars could you buy for $5000 new that do 11 second quarter miles right from the showroom floor......:cool: car

Koenigsegg CC without a shadow of a doubt. That is the most perfect & most beautiful car ever made.

<< Before the Koenigsegg CC there has only existed two cars with 100 % carbon fiber monocoque chassis truly intended for road use, the McLaren F1 and the Ferrari F50. Today the Koenigsegg CC is the only one in production. The Koenigsegg CC delivers greater performance in all aspects than any other competitor. It is probably the worlds fastest series manufactured car. >>

Engine; 4600cc Supercharged V8, 655bhp @ 6500rpm.
Top speed; 390 kph / 242.3 mph
0-60mph; 3.2 seconds

Mclaren is stupid, I'm sorry... $1+ million (actually selling for over $3mill on used market), and the air conditioning and comfort of the car sucks.. for a few hundred thousand you can buy a car thats faster that the Mclaren and must more comfortable, the Mosler MT900

Just wanted to mention that the civic was a Si coupe. Dual Over Head Cams. Yeah, so it wasnt just another civic. And if you dont know what the Si is, its i guess you can call it a special edition civic. they only made it in 99' and 00'. hope they bring it back because its an awesome car.
