That thing looks pretty stock to me. You should trick it out with a spoiler, or at least some cool tail-light lenses!

Very fine wheels, in both cases.

However, for sheer performance (and bang for the buck) you need to lose two of those wheels. My old Kawi ZX1100 (a '92 - it wasn't old back then) would smoke everything - Vipers, Vettes, a friend's very street illegal 500+ci NOS El Camino, and of course the occasional Crown Vic.

The new generation of 1100-1300cc sport bikes are insanely fast (180mph+) and will set you back about 10K out the door. Road and track did a test awhile back using a piddly ZX9 against the finest and fastest 4-wheel vehicles around. It involved going from 0-100mph and then back to zero again (all acceleration and braking). The ZX9 did this feat, 0-100-0 mph, before ANY of the cars had even reached 100.

Yeah, ain't that the truth.

My Z has an aftermarket computer, Borla exhaust, Lingenfelter intake, K&N coldbox kit, and a few other tweaks.....and still cannot even come close to keeping up with something on 2 wheels....unless its a Harley.

Its old and tired anymore after having racked up 140,000 miles. I need to tear the top end apart...I either have a bad lifter or a loose rocker arm. Possibly its a donut gasket....but I dont think so.

I plan on keeping the Camaro until I die. I can recall countless Fathers (including my own) who used to spin yarns about some old hot rod they had and never should have gotten rid of. I am not going to make that mistake...especially once they discontinued the Camaro.

Ahh...I love cars.

Y'all should be grown up. I proudly drive this VERY FINE CAR (the booster not included):




My only complaint on the Odyssey is, its factory-standard audio SUCKS.

More like "on crack." Ahhh, driving back from Davis in the rain with no windshield wipers at 70 MPH and hitting a patch of water. Thank you, Diana, for such wonderful memories. Every time I smell mildew, I will think of that car. (God, I hope she doesn't read this.. I don't want to die-she still has that thing and loves it!)

Until now. The Ferrari Enzo meets the speed of that Kawasaki. Mmmm, Enzo... It's kind of butt-ugly, though.
