2014 track coupe, 545hp twin turbo, tuned. I don't believe the car was modified beyond some tuning.
I normally hate Awd cars for trying to go fast as it is near impossible to overcome the under steer. I grew driving rear wheel drive cars so I naturally prefer oversteer. Oversteer scares the passenger, under steer scares the driver lol. |

Had a Datsun pick up way back when.(1970's)..drove it for years.
Wasn't impressed w/ rotary Mazda, but Mazda quickly saw the demise...nice premise, but didn't perform as expected. Had a Mazda wagon, though...and a Mitsubishi sedan...both great vehicles lasting for years. Loved my Toyota XCab SR5.....lasted 20 yrs, then gave it away. Liked my Honda Accord, though....ran it to 200k miles, then went to the part yard. Best commuter car. Ford Focus was my biggest disappointment. Built during Ford's economic downturn 2006...and it compromised workmanship. Oh well. Now have a '92 BMW 735i....149k miles...hoping to top 300k before next car. After '93 Toyota XCab...that's my last NEW vehicle, driving out of the tent showroom. Ahhh...went to Canada and through Mexico, all over the US of A with it. Probably my favorite. Had Jeep Wagoneer, too, but too many rear end axle 4x4 issues...still good for rough terrain back in the day.

Got an older Accord sedan, was suggested to strap on a cold
air intake and replace the exhaust from the cat back. The increase up to 10-12 HP, is worth the few hundred bucks? The engine/auto trans is new, re-built. Car looks very good, inside and out. What other modifications are suggested to bump HP? Front wheel drive, even at 125 HP torque steer is a thing. What do you think?

I am a big 2jz fan. Love the SC300s and Supras.
I've sold a bunch of GTRs and they are super fast cars. Poor build quality though. |

It's a 96 model first of the generation 8s, only done 130,000. Have probably had it close to 5 months now. Still needs a little loving.
