Easy. 100 HP.

100HP per WHEEL.

Man, what's with this negativity on stickers? I wanted to put an SOHC sticker on my Honda but ppl would laugh or something, but it's really advertising the truth.

If the badging matches what's really inside, it's fine.

You can save yourself some money and stuff an old sock in your pants. By the time they find out its too late, just like when you stick them with the check on your date.

Unless you're following that with "Turbo" and have the parts to back it up, you're being a ricer. Please either stop, or kill yourself.

Possibly but you'd still look like a dumbfvck to the majority of us that know what kind of car you are driving.

Why would you want to put a SOHC sticker on your Honda? Why don't you just get a sticker that says my car has 110 whp instead?

Look at me! My car is average!!! WOO HOO!!!

Edit-My first car, a 1973 SAAB 99, had a SOHC engine. Congratulations, your car has technology that's been around for decades. Why don't you put a sticker on it that says 4 wheel disc brakes? Or Front disk/rear drum brakes? Or how about fullsize spare tire in trunk?

My take on this is that anyone who cares enough about the cam configuration in your Honda already will know and everyone else either has no idea what it means or just doesn't care. It reminds me of that mock Dodge Aries commercial. (Bench seats....standard. AM radio....standard. 70% of owners now have a fixed address.)

Clearly if you need to have a porche that's not even a porche, you must be soooooo small....

'nuff said.

You need a personality, not a car, to get women. Have a nice day.

ummm first of all women wont react to anythign that old and unless you're in highschool or something,
a rice bucket / musclecar / sub 5k car wont get you anywhere ....

If you wanna use your car as a magnet, get a german sedan (audi / bmw / benz)... at least you'll look classy.

I slapped ITEC (International Truck & Engine) badges off a schoolbus on the back of my truck- however it works because I drive an International anyway (Back when it was IHC)

girls here dont care much about the porche, when you have a truck which uncomfortably seats 8 and has a softtop and a good audio setup, it doesnt really matter how it fairs compared to newer trucks.

A girl that cares whether or not you have a Porsche will know what a Porsche looks like.

Well, it does say SOHC VTEC.

And the high school asian girls love it.

It sounds as though any girl you would want to impress would know that you were a poser, and any girl who was actually impressed you would know was a ditz.

You lose both ways.

Spend the money to polish up what you have. A shiny MR2 is probably going to impress intelligent girls better than a cheap fake.

(but what do I know, I drive a $400 car ;) )
