I drive a 99' Silver Acura Integra. It's only temporary while my real ride, the Mars Rover, is in space. I am beginning to get worried because those guys at NASA said they would have it back by now. ;)

Re: What kind of car do you drive??
 
I have a few cars to my name

Vehicle provided to me and a select few at work:
'99 White w/ Blue Stripe all the way around Chevy K1500 V8 Turbo-Diesel Crew Cab, Extended Bed with a Cap on the back. I'll post a picture of it sometime soon - Just recently blew the tranny on it so I will have to wait to see if my job is going to fix it or get us a brand new truck instead. The truck is a monster and clocks in with only 65K miles on it or so.

To go to & from Work (Summer Time):
'95 Red Olds Cutlass Supreme SL - V6 3.1L - Leather Interior, Decent Sound System provided by an old Pioneer Radio - MTX 5" / 8" Sub - Planet Audio Amp and Rear Speakers - Like I said not to shabby, I just put a nice looking HID Kit on it =) My little girl has only had 2 owners my grandfather & myself and she clocks in at about 46K - 47K miles on it.

To go to & from Work (Winter Time):
'00 Tan Chevy Blazer LS - V6 4.3L 4WD - Cloth Interior, Decent Souns System provided by a Blaupunkt Radio, Planet Audio Sub & Amp, Also 1 - 3 owners myself included she clocks in at about 116K miles.

I wouldn't change anything performance wise but definitely would like to give it a look to make people say wow.

The 1.8L four in my grandmothers corolla easily breaks traction and it far zippier than the other cars I've driven. (1.4L 4cyl, 2.4L 4cyl, 3.0L V6) Nowadays head design, good programming, porting, and forced induction change power more than displacement or cylinders. A Euro Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII MR FQ-400 makes four hundred horsepower off a 2.0L four. A Toyota/Lexus 2GR-FSE 3.5L V6 makes 300 hp. A Honda K20A makes 220 hp of a naturally aspirated 2.0L four. Some of the old B series Honas made 200hp off 1.8L. A 2JZ-GTE 3.0L straight six makes 300hp. A Honda C32B makes 288hp on a 3.2L V6. Subaru STi 2.5L boxer four 300hp. The previously mentioned S2000's F20 (or is it F22, I can never remember) makes 200hp. The 2.3L mazda MZR (as seen in the mazdaspeed 6) makes 276hp. A Dodge SRT-4 makes something in the neighborhood of 240hp on 2.4L. For reference a 2005 Ford Mustang GT makes 300hp off of a 4.6L V8. And, yes clutch dropworks, unless you're driving a JDM Honda Civic/Integra DC5 Type-R with their ultralight flywheel. (If you are all should worship you)

Sorry for double posting, but the Honda S2000, makes actually two-hundred and fourty bhp out of 2.0litres, Naturally aspirated. Highest bhp/litre figure of any car on the road. That of course was the pre-05 version, with the F20, the new ones have 2.2 litres(aka the F22), so it kinda makes it a little less now. They uprated the litreage(new word alert!) to give it more torque, and the rev's have been dropped from 9000 to I believe 8200.

PS-JDM cars aren't the holy grail of everything. :rolleyes:

PPS-most of those engines you listed have forced induction, which kind of takes away from the goodness of it. Also, a Supra's 2JZ creates 330bhp, not 300. ;)

I have a dark green 1997 Saturn Sw2 wagon.
Nothing special about it, don't really know the specs.
It rattles a lot, don't really know why, though.

I've got an 88 Ranger Supercab...lowered almost 4 inches.

I just ordered them...and the box is being made...I have two Kenwood 12's,but soon....

I'll have 6 twelve inch subs behind the seats, all under the window. :)

I'm looking for a car for college...i think i'm going to find a mid 90's Turbo Volvo wagon.

Re: What kind of car do you drive??
 
Is it the Wagon? The wagons were the coolest ones out of the 240 range, except for maybe the coupé.
