We've got some new competition it seems...

I'm trading my 86 in for one!

What's sad is that it can beat the FRS in the 1/4 mile and 0-60 time. LOLz

I will most likely trade mine in for a fire engine red one for shizzle!

"And when I say ‘nicely’, what I actually mean is ‘blood-curdling scary’. The mower has taken on a whole new personality – and it’s anything but pleasant. It was terrifying enough knowing that it should do 130mph and sprint from 0-60mph in about 4.0 seconds, but now we’ve seen it run….. Eternity in the Jeremy Kyle audience doesn’t scare me as much as this thing."

As for the mower, yes please.

Off topic sort of.

I find it funny to see this article about Honda and lawn mowers. Cause I just chipped in with the family to buy my father a new lawn mower that's AWD and powered by Honda.

And that Odyssey is ridiculous...

But it will cost $5K -$10K more.

it would be a $40k car...add 10-15k in upgrades to an 86 and see what happens.

Stock for stock theyre very close. Our prius tires help nothing in terms of being on a level playing field with a stock S2K. Put some better tires on our car and your good to go. Either was the S2K was a $35,000 car.

Close as far as what? Cuz I ran my buddy's s2k and there was nothing close about it.

you can make any car better, faster, stronger with money.

Fett4Real 06-12-2013 10:53 AM

Close in terms of handling I assume when you say you "ran" you buddies S2K you mean you were drag racing it? THESE ARE NO MUSCLE CARS.
