i completely and totally agree ..

 

but we all know hondas and toyotas take care of themselves.

 

I used to bracket race camaro's. I have to say, its a hell of change of pace with tuners, but Im liking it alot. Ill like it more once i have turbo I think.

 

This is all good info. The only thing I am not liking is there not being very much at all as far as tuning options

 

I own a 77 Monte Carlo, 86 Monte Carlo SS, 65 Chevelle, 68 Impala SS 427, 72 Chevelle SS, 01 Monte Carlo SS and a 94 Thunderbird lol. Well I'm mostly an old skool Chevy man but I'm lookin for a Honda CRX right now and I want one really badly, Not because gas I dont care about gas at all I just think the car is really cool. If anybody has one they want to sell I'm very interested

 

I was born and raised a GM guy.... until I bought a Honda.

My first car was a 1987 Buick Century with a 3 speed auto and a 2.8L V6, (L44: 140 hp, 175 trq). It was my mom's car. The body died before the engine or tranny. Not only did it not die at over 350,000 kms, it made it through 2 teenagers and NEVER broke down. I've never seen a car take such a beating and keep running. By the end, the roof lining had holes in it and it was hanging down into the cab LOL!!!

Next was a 1995 Chev Corsica with a 3100 SFI V6, (L82: 155 hp, 185 trq). I babied the s*** out of that car. My brother drives it now and it has over 300,000 km. It still runs perfectly, (I still love that car).

After that, I bought a 1991 Buick Regal GS 2 door Coupe, 3.8L V6, (Series I 3800: 170 hp, 225 trq), with only 80,000 km's on it. It was in perfect condition and the interior was untouched, but GM has never created a WORSE ABS system than they did for that car. It was the PowerMaster III ABS system, and it was a disaster. A rebuilt unit cost over $1000.00. But it was a lot of fun to drive.

You can see the last two linked to my CarDomain site.

Now I have a '96 Civic Si/Ex with a D16y8. So far, it's the best car I've ever owned. I'd have to think long and hard now before I ever consider buying a GM again... unless it's the Z06 that is.... Now that's a car.

 

FIrst car was an 88 caprice classic (305 V8, still love that car even though it is gone)) 88 Chevrolet Cavalier (2.0) 86 Chevrolet Silverado 2WD (305 HO) 98 GMC Sierra 4WD (4.3 V6 Vortec). so yeah i'm converted. my EX is wonderful but it has not replaced the general. i just can't let go. IM STILL ROOTIN FOR THE HOME TEAM. (sorry guys i.. don't know what happened just then.)

 

I still have my 65 Malibu Super Sport. At least I can say that after my divorce.

 

I have owned chevy v8's and v6's(4.3 is the 5.7 or 350 with 2 cylinders missing) and i have yet to have them burn oil. the cavalier 2.0 litre i will not make excuses for that was a complete load. but the 4.3 in my 98 sierra took abuse from trailering a boat up and down grades that most untrailered vehicles would wimper and then travelling 155,000 kms (sorry dont know the conversion) up until i obtained it.than i put 32's on it and never left a stop sign without screeching the tires. i would race everybbody, oversteer everywhere in the winter(which is real life drifting,IMO) and now at 280,000kms my water pump burst spewing coolant everywhere and now it is giving me overheating problems. So don't say chevys are no good, until youve destroyed one personally

 

I know hondas are durable as well, im just sayin the general should get more recognition than he gets. i know the engines are old pushrod designs but they yield more horsepower and fuel efficiency than other similar products (C6 LS2) and the new Escalade has an all aluminum VVT pushrod V8 with dispacement on demand. it's just that they have mastered what they know and they know it better than anyone.
