Re: What kind of car do you drive??

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.

(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.

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.

No, that is Dave's other car. Are you telling me you stole it from him?

Re: What kind of car do you drive??

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.

Re: What kind of car do you drive??

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.
