thats great and everything but after driving on a daily basis a 350 hp ws6 trans am, 450 hp gto and a 480 hp cobra, i think i can get used to the feel of a 300 hp all wheel drive car. plus i drove my buddy's AMS evo ix mr for about a week that was pushin 420 hp... i'm sure alot of people are better drivers than me but for about a year i consistently organized street raced every weekend and helped my buddy with his pro stock drag car so i'm sure the "feel" wont be a big issue- not to sound like a douschbag or ne thing

thanks for the input, but there are VERY few imports that even get me the least bit excited and the ones that do (rx7, supra,) are WAAAAYYY more high maintenance and WAAAYYY more mod hungry... i would never in my life be caught dead in any kind of civic, integra, and especially a PRELUDE

what are your over all goals for the car, drag racing, auto x, time attack or just serious street machine. once you figure this out you can better decide what parts will work for you.

Drive it for a while before you buy a buncha parts to see what you need. The givens are...boost gauge, oil temp, and oil pressure imo before you start modding it.
