SVTdriver said:This reminds me of a show I was watching. Where "Hot Rodders" were saying they didn't think all the cosmetic things people did back then. Was really considered Hot Rodding a car. Which is what many of the people running civics are doing. They get lambo doors, fiberglass interior, Rollbars that aren't connected to anything, Fire extinquishers mounted to the plastic A-pillar pieces, Big wings, carbonfiber hoods. But yet don't spend much on performance. Other than a K&N and muffler. Yes some of the old hotrods were cosmetic. But many more actually took at least some performance gains to heart.

Where do you get your information from? Are you kidding me!! The Gt is just as fasts as the Evo? Maybe the stock lancer. If your stock Gt can do this i'll be at the dealer tomarrow.
0-60 mph: 4.3 sec
0-1320 ft (1/4): 12.9 sec @ 107.6 mph
top speed 157 mph

My point was that the deuce wasn't a hot rod either. It's what people did to it in the 1950's that made it a hot-rod.
It's the same thing that people are doing today with Civics.

Ford on the other hand has severly tarnished its image when it comes to quality. Hopefully the 2005 Mustang will bring back come credibility.
Which aint happeninone2gamble said:I agree but the deuce was chosen because it was basically the only thing available. Civics are cheap and good mpg so the parents pic them up for the kids and they start moddin them. This is fine but what I cant understand is why someone would purchase a civic to mod it, the EVO,STI are rather expensive and most young people dont have 27-30grand to blow on a new a car. If you look at todays car market there are many many cars that are available for cheap that are much better platforms. One thing I have heard over and over again in reference to mustangs/Camaros and such is that everythings been done so they feel in order to be different these "rice rockets" are the way to go. Many also enjoy the fact that its possible to make them faster than traditional hotrods and enjoy the looks on the faces of their owners when they blow by them.
one2gamble said:since there is a 350z in my garage I will inform you that your are very very wrong in what you "know". There are a multitude of problems with the 350z, they have been adressed for the most part but the build quality is not THAT much higher if at all than the 05 mustang/500. The 03's have a questionable suspension problem that made them burn through tires in less than 10,000 miles. Theres problems with the trannys, windows, brakes, seat durability etc etc etc.
Now since you have been
you can actually get out of your house, stop listening to your mother and do some god damned research before you spout bull**** like you are. The 350z is a brand new car on a brand new platform and it STILL HAD PROBLEMS. The mustand was sitting on a 20+ year old platform so it wasnt the best but all that has changed with the 05.
shadowland2000 said:But were there any misaligned parts? I suspect not, because those kinds of problems would never even make it out of the factory. My brothers 2001 Mustang GT on the other hand looks like it was assembled by the blind. You've got to question Ford when they let this type of crap happen. It's just a complete lack of integrity that shows that profitibility is all that matters.
Actually thats not true, if they werent doing it for profit, they wouldnt be selling cars, common sense there.shadowland2000 said:Japanese car makers don't just care about profit, they actually take pride in their work, all the way down to the assembly people.

I would buy another Ford however, because you just get more for your money, but you definately take more risk.
