Those guys are still front wheel drive. Crazy what you can do with them. My son has a friend who drives a Nissan GTR fastest stock ricer I have been in. How a kid doing tattoos for a living can afford who knows. My little civic only 140hp and I think the accord is 189hp. new truck 305hp. there all enough for me. There is a amazing amount of after market parts for civics out there and the kids want them still. My civic is stock other then cool air and exhaust. Its almost 12 years old just turn 70,000

No kidding... isn't that like a 90,000 dollar car?

67 Mustang...$1800.00
New engine...$5500.00
New transmission...$3600.00
Racing down the track alone because the Hondas are scared...Priceless

86G's and this is a 22 year old. It's a six cylinder with almost 500hp. and rode like a dream hanging on the road.
You know you ride in fixed up old performance cars and there real fast but in reality they ride like junk compared to cars of today with handling, there brakes and suspensions. I remember my Chevelle SS and Nova's (2)+ my mopars (3) of the 70's and 80's and really they don't compare to todays rides.

Yeah right. Dodge Challenger SRT8 handles like a boat compared to a GT-R. They're both are about the same weight (They're both over 4000 lbs, I know that for sure ^^), and are within 100 horsepower of each other (SRT-425 GTR-480). But when it comes down to it, the Nissan can rip a 0-60 in under 4 seconds very easily (car and driver got 3.3) and pull 1g turns with ease. In comparison, the challenger takes 5 seconds to get to 60 and pulls around .86g on the pad. It may look cool, but the Challenger doesn't hold a candle to the performance of the GT-R, or the Mustang, but it does beat my aunt's Cadillac. Even the Viper has trouble keeping up with one, and it weighs 1000lbs less and has more HP and torque. Probably why Dodge discontinued it <_<

This is Clarence, my everyday get around.
Fun to drive , Not many left and not many made. Out of all 1500, 1600, and 2000 Datsun Roadster’s manufactured world wide there were only just over 50,000 made available of all model’s and years total.
The 2000 Datsun Roadster is the most sought after but in 1969 there were under 3,000 1600 Datsun Roadster’s made.
That is what Clarence is, a 1969 1600 Roadster, with an Aluminum head, motor bored out 40,000th’s and racing piston’s every thing else is stock but the wheels.
He has only 38,000 + miles on him with less than 3,000 miles on the motor rebuild.
My MIM 70's Strat,Roland Jazz-55 or Peavey Triple xxx 120 watt 212 combo,mike and amp stand,GNX2,weekend bag for the gig and me fit just right.

My weekend romper is a 2003 Mustang Cobra. It was rated at 390 hp, but put 375 to the tires stock, which is closer to 420 at the crank. It now makes 460 rear wheel hp, and has less than $1,000 in modifications.

I have ran a best of 12.2 sec 1/4 mile at 118 mph, and that was hot off the street. With proper suspension, traction and tuning it should be able get into the 11's
