face it, no 'old car' was fast, the sports version of those cars stock ran 17s this is 60-mid 80s they are old, slow and now the base model of almost every car could keep up with them if not beat them...



todays sports cars run 12-14 where back then it was 15-18 i mean damn there isn't a comparison... technology has increased, and it is gooood

I used to be into Hondas, which I find a lot of people saying, but not the muffler only, washer lights, stickered out kind. I despised that and the fact that I was always offered parts for real cheap wink wink. I also didnt like the fact that I had to be paranoid of who knew what motor/ mods i had. I knew people that would bring their ecu's in at night! A lot of bad karma as i saw it.When i went to go see it in the theater there were kids neutral dropping their mother's buick centuries, and all kinds of dumb ****. Of course I was egged on to rip my car or whatever so i crept at about 20 miles an hour leaving the theater. There is a time and a place for everything. I deffinitley saw the difference at the spots i used to frequent after "the movie".

I knew at this point it was all down hill. Sure enough the places i used to go to were swamped with "party poopers" in cars, and even helicopters in a few cases. So i sold my crx on ebay and was done with it. Now i just bought an fd, and when its running don't know how things are going to be. I guess I'll just have to take the ride to Englishtown.

You need to read up on these older cars. The GTO ran 13s stock. And how about Shelby, the cobra and GT500 an GT350 were badass cars. And the classic corvetes were nothing to laugh at either.



You should just not post at all you'd look alot smarter

~offers plate of crow~ The others speak truth man... This makes me question whether you even have respect for the hot rods of the golden days, denying these cars had ***** and scooted displays a complete lack of respect of heritage.. without those cars, we wouldn't have the new golden age in sports cars we do nowadays... Oh yah.. And if anything.. I give props to the crazy old ***** back then running those times on bias-ply radial tires that were NOWHERE near as thick or sticky as factory rubber coming on sports cars nowadays.

haha yeah i fremember premeir night, my friend ben and i were going to see the fast and the furious, well i rode with him in his heavily modded fd.....we had no problems getting there, and right after the movie on the 5 mile drive back to his house we got revved at on every single light....the movie made having a nice, rare, fast car a pain...everyone and their mom was revving that night, anything from jeep wranglers, to oldsmobiles, alot of riced civics and the occasional mustang gt...
