I LOVE my '04 Subaru WRX STi. (So do the local police.) Nothing can touch it in the stoplight races, especially in the rain. Too bad the limiter stops it at 140.

Wow. I had a fast as hell 85 Honda SI civic back a few years ago. I had more fun beating some v8 Chev stuff. They never knew what they were up against. Light and fast for what it was. I will never forget the 4 teenagers in a Late model Z-28 ragtop that laughed at my loud muffler at a stoplight one time. When the light changed, I put a half a car length on them and then missed 2nd and still beat them by 3 car lengths.

Today I was reminded of that litte shoebox car when I was watching the Chicago auto show on TV and Honda had a concept 2006 Civic SI on the show. Man, I could lust for that one. 200 hp? If it is as much fun as the one that I had years ago I just may have to sign up for one. The say it just might show up as a 2006 regulal production car. I hope so.

THIS??!! coming from a guy who has TWO Baldwin/Motion Corvettes (among other things)..??? Have you been taking your prescriptions buddy?? If that's the case, I'll go buy a nice '85 Civic SI and trade you even up for those 2 ugly Vettes and we'll both be happy.

That was my econo car back when I bought the big house. Had to sell a few of my playthings (Street Vettes)to afford it. I picked it up just to use as a cheap used car to drive for a while because the house payments were huge for the first two years. ($2,300) I didn't have any idea it was so fast till I drove it. Man it was a fun little car.

I had an 04 Civic SI hatch,great little car,but that 2.0 VTEC is a rubberband,like every other Honda.I thought about putting a hair dryer on it,but at my age I prefer a warranty.My new driver is an 05 Mitsu Evo8 RS lightweight(track model) This little nondescript maids car(per the girlfreind)with a flash and exhaust runs high 12's and will wax everthing except a Z06 in the canyons-in the wet can't touch it-
