And the last time i checked, the DSM's i was refering to were Eclipses, talons and lasers. And I also said w/ an equal amount of money put into them. Your "friends" are we we call "ricers".

Face it man, honda's are simply not meant to be "built" cars, they are not meant for speed, they are meant to get groceries. You want a fast grocery getter, get a galant vr-4!
