and DAMN i prefer my RA. anyone else had this experience? lol


the seats are harder than and feel like bleachers

 

And you didn't post anything about the extra power the RA has? LOL Just mentioned the seats? Yeah, the seats on long rides are not the best.

 

Yep, my local mitsu dealership in Madison is amazing and they let me test drive a ton of cars for my own amusement, one time. I got to drive an 06 5speed RA and I was really impressed with the feel, suspension, and seats. It was surely faster than my OZ, but no offense, it's not a fast car. I liked having more power down low in the rpm mostly, that's what I don't like about my OZ, you need to get it up past 3 for ANY power. Besides my OZ I'm used to driving a few much faster cars (my oz is my college to and from vehicle) but the RA wasn't all that bad. Another thing is that the 4g69 seems to respond much better to NA mods, which makes it seem to me like a great car.

 

the whole car responds to just about anything you do. I was rubbing the hood last night and got an extra kick in the pants this morning

I get to drive my GF's '00 Civic EX occasionally, man........is..........it..........slow........... .............

 

i test drove an es when i bought my ra. sloooooooow

 

Went from a Ford SHO before my RA... I decided I didn't care about power I just hated the boat feeling, also i love tight turns...

I bought the RA mainly for its great stock handling capabilities, and with minimal suspension support mods it feels wicked nice.

I drove a bunch of cars before i bought this one, most of them felt really sluggish as far as response, the RA was the best, but as far as "luxury" options.. the S&S was sufficient. I don't need navi...

 

Once upon a time when my car was stock, I thought it was pretty quick and nimble. Nowadays, being use to the power, she has her days where she hella surprises me and days where she'll be lazy.

All in all, shes a tamed RA! haha

 

i was given an es to drive when my car had a 2 night sleep over at mitsu and wow i felt like i had been on some sort of drug that either wore off or just kicked in cause it was sooo slow and the handling just didn't compare.

 

i wasnt comparing it to an evo but on any given day i'll take my RA. i dont like feeling as if the car is going to tip on its side on a turn and waiting 3 hours to get up to speed.


torque is where its at!

 

I got to drive a 05ish ES when I was getting a oil change at the dealership one day and man I don't care much for them seats.

 

hi im addicted to mivec

end of disscussion

 

Hi im addicted to boosted mivec
end of discussion..

 

i used to drive an oz a while back. it wasnt as bad as some of you make it sound. the seats werent hard or anything but yeah it was slow as ****. i love my ra hella more but if i could swap id swap the trunk and the headlights in a second. heres a pic [IMG][/IMG]

 

yeah i had oz before my ra and man those are slow!! even with mods that i had in my oz it was slower than my ra.

 

this guy i went against at the strip had one and had about 3k into his engine and at the time i just had a SRI and he coudn't hang.
