It screams ricer. Might be bad for the Evo because all winged cars probably get lumped together by the fuzz, and if a new batch of winged cars come out, there will be that many more idiots in said cars doing dumb things to **** off the fuzz.

You can thank the Fast and the Furious movie franchise for this, really. But I think one more winged import with a fart can isn't going to make that much more of a difference.

I had a cop pull me over once and was disappointed to find a 40 year old white guy driving the car. At least, that was his expression and body language when I rolled down my tinted window.

Ironically, I was let off with a warning. They had to run as a guy in a poorly modified Chevy Cavalier did a burnout around the corner, so there was a bigger fish to fry.

I'm sure I won't be getting a CTR, but at least car manufacturers haven't forgotten about us!

Now if you personally do not place much stock in that fact, that is your perogative. But some of us to think it is worth talking about.
my point is there is three pages of bs from people who think it cant be faster than supercars around the ring. no real facts as to why. just a bunch of people with opinions trying to force others with strong opinions. no one winning the debate. and just a royal waste of my time reading it all. there is only one thread here on this car. I would like to come in here and read updates on the car. not useless banter.

Sadly, you'll often get everything within the spectrum. I wouldn't come here for news updates, because it's just too much time to separate the wheat from the chaff.

I would follow car news sites personally, or just a quick google search is way more effective.











Speaking of Honduh, anyone waiting for the baby NSX? That's the one car I'm still excited to learn about.
