Yeah they do. All the kids in my neighborhood always stop playing to look and start yelling "I like your car" and
ask for a burn out or to rev the engine. Those are future sports car owners there....or whatever "sporty" self driving cars will be.

oh yeah. Still get lots of lookers and people who stalk for a pic. Here's one friend took of mine.

Though I will say having meets draws attention (and not the bad kind) when there are 20-50 hanging out at night in all levels of sotck and modded

Maybe out your way. I've yet to see one around my neck of the woods that is on the street and riced out. My guess its a very low percentage that have fallen into that category.

Of course the same can be said for Civics I suppose. Of the approximate 16,500,000 that Honda has sold since 1972, if only a small percentage have been modified to that extent that's still a lot of cars.

Yeah my car has broken a few necks driving around town lol.

They're rare enough that they get looked at when driving. If someone initiates a conversation, and knows about cars still expect the whole "looks great but they're so slow" OR "I bet that thing moves with the turbo motor huh?" comments. People still don't know a thing about this car.

Unfortunately this car is famous for shitty wide body kits and stance nation.

I doubt the average person, male or female would take any notice of the Twins over any other car in the lot. Cars today are all pretty much the same to civilians. Five years on and other than the odd motorhead, nobody has a clue the car is not just another FWD toaster.

mazeroni · 02-13-2017, 11:45 AM

Aye, get plenty of looks from Civics / RSXs / TCs / Eclipses (they are all beat to hell) / et all.

Occasionally, someone in a drive thru will look over the car and try to figure out what the hell they are looking at. Few know what it is.

WRX and STI drivers will give a glance, but notice it isn't a BRZ and isn't boosted, then they try to run you off the road because it's the merciful thing.

With the latest big thumbs up from Kelly Blue Book they'll know you were smart too.

KnightRyderx2 · 02-13-2017, 12:03 PM

Of course it does, and I believe there will always be people that check it out. I know it will fade over time but take a nicely done 240, Civic hatch, or MK3 GTI; they still get checkout.

Was just at a Cars and Coffee this weekend with a few other 86s in a row and everyone stopped to look at every single one of them, more so the supercharged rocket bunny but still. I always get looks driving around town and catch people staring from inside their cars. Once in a while Ill get a "nice car" thrown at me while driving around.
