Man... some of you all come from some really monied families.

I hope the fact that your a stupid n00b and write all in caps means your kidding other wise I will come and rob your rich ass house

I really do have a mustang thank you very much...and so what i typed all in CAPS...I DID CUZ I WANTED TO...

Take a chill, dawg.

kidding.....





maybe

excuse me what was that Phydeaux, you just keep saying the same thing in every post

well, i had a 2002 Honda Civic EX coupe until I left for college, now my sis gets it for a couple years. it was your typical cheesy rice rocket, with big ass subwoofers and neon lights underneath, etc.

It is a Mercedes-Benz SLK Roadster. The "bookshelf" wing is probably the worst part. What kind of dumbass would do that to his Mercedes?

You just made me queazy. Thanks a lot.

This is my car, Subaru Impreza WRX. I'm really really lucky to have it, and I worked extremely hard for a large part of it.

0-60 - 4.5
1/4 - 13.4

and the best part is that it handles like nobodys business, I do pretty well at autocrosses (it's a bit hard because of turbo lag, and the older gen Imprezas usually win)

hey did they ever make an wrx coupe?

I know there are a few impreza coupes in america but their pretty rare.  Those seem like a good car to coup up. Smaller and lighter than the sedan all wheel drive and a 2.5 liter engine. And you know the engine can handle a good sized turbo like the wrx's can

They can handle a good size turbo, but not a lot of boost. Around 7 psi is the max if you want a decently reliable car. It ends up slightly faster than a stock WRX, with more torque down low. Almost cost prohibitive though, a WRX motor swap can end up being cheaper. A lot of guys swap in the Legacy 2.2 turbo motor, which is apparently really really stong... 22 psi easily. Those can be fast. When my engine dies (I put a LOT of miles on mine) I'm getting a closed deck 2.4 engine and some giant ass turbo with a front mount intercooler. That should be good for 350 reliable, streetable whp on pump gas with a good tune. Should take me about 5 years to get my car the way I want it. I can wait though, it's so sweet in it's current form.

However if any of you guys are looking for a cheap(er) car to drive around and is still cool, get the RS, it's not played out, is pretty quick, handles well, and looks good to boot. You can get one with low milage for 13-14k.

oh and there was never a WRX coupe. The only one ever made was the 22B, and limited edition WRX STi with the older body style, with wide fenders and a 2.2 liter block, not avalible in the states. It was meant to be a replica of the WRC car which won that year.

  you mean change the gears in the transmission?

He's probably taking about the rear end gears.

The cadillac I drive has ridiculously tall rear end gears - 2.11:1 (2.11 turns of the input shaft for every one of the output).  It gives the caddy a considerably higher economical cruising speed than the 85 that the spedometer reads (inaccurately).

Most "muscle" cars run pretty short gears to give them good speed off the line - my '67 pontiac comes stock with a 12-bolt 3.56 rear end, although there are many other ratios out there, commonly between 3.73 to 4.11.  having shorter gears in the rear means that you get to top speed more quickly (although the shorter the gears, the lower the speed).

Rear end gears.

I was dancing with this girl on saturday night that had amazing rear end gears..
