    Nice. Old muscle is where it's at. They don't make 'em like they used to, although I've got a bit of a soft spot for the new GT500s.

    Yah, they are one and the same. Acura is just the marketing term for North America because we are snobs and think a more lavish moniker is needed when wasting our money. It's been discontinued only because Honda is working on bumping their tech to be more in line I think with Ferrari, supposedly the new NSX is supposed to come soon.

    And yah it was a foolish move, but I guess if people were going to toss 100k+ at a high end sports car it wasn't going to be Honda lol.

    yeah, its sorta nice knowing if i get in a crash i have a lot of metal behind me.. also hurts the wallet tho.. my parents bought a new mustang gt.. and that thing is mostly abs plastic i think is the type of plastic they use these days.

    Idk about the R8 but damn I wish I could afford an S4, they are just plain sick.

    Looks like the new S4 is 4 door only wtf? Nvm a new coupe is out the S5, sheesh havent looked up Audi in awhile.

    here she is stock looking, every thing is under the hood/drive train.
    i put disc breaks on her too. i did that couple of months ago tho.

    [​IMG]

    not as flashy as old camaros , firebirds etc.. but i love her, not to many of her on the roads these days.. mostly camaros, firebirds, mustangs..

    If we're actually talking driving now I'd favour something that doesn't ignore corners, but it's a damn good looking bit of metalwork nonetheless :)

    Yup, Acura is the luxury name for Honda like Lexus is to Toyota.

    I had a 2001 Acura CL types S sold in 2008, then now I have a 2010 Volvo XC90. Can't wait another 5 years so I can spend on another coupe again...:D

    too much too much....and it goes on and on....never ending I'm sure you all know that
