1. That's not nice.
2. Hondas aren't American.
3. Their purpose is not performance. Judging by what the masses really think by how they vote with their wallets over decades now, they seem to do something needful.
4. Aren't those little CRXs with B18s a pretty decent poor man's track car?

But I obviously totally agree about the Vette. Even JC of Top Gear, who was notorious for his hatred of Corvettes, practically jizzed himself over the ZR1.

I still maintain that Honda makes some great cars. Now if you're talking pure performance that's obviously not really their arena, but in no way is Honda a bad company.

Re: Honda

First, Civics are not sports cars. So if you compare them to sports cars, of course you're not going to like them. Compare them to Corollas.

Second, NSXs and S2000s are cool. Just down on power, but so are most stock cars. Mustangs are good platforms, but they're all slow as shit. Always have been. Need some underhood loving to make them fun. Slap a turbo on an S2000, it'll make even you smile C6.

PS, you wouldn't fu*k with a CBR on a mountain road.

In 1957, Ford outsold Chevy 2-1. When is the last time you saw a 57 Ford? 57 Chevys command big bucks, whilst 57 Fords, well, you know, ...........

Using your logic, the number one American car might be the Checker cab. Years of production of the same model without change.
BTW, it was made on the GM platform.

Mustang. It has been the star in so many movies. I agree they are cheaper thus having more exposure than the Corvette but not by much. I think the thing about the mustang is for the most part it has always remained a "muscle car" and that is what people IMO think of when they think american "sports" cars.

NSX = Slow Joke
S2000 = Slow Joke that has an unusuall attraction to concrete barriers
CBR = Slow Joke on 2 wheels. I love the work you've done on your vette, but comments like I wouldn't fuck with a CBR on a mountain road really show that you have zero racing expience. Bikes may have rulled back in the day, but now not so much.

Really?! You're telling me you can 'fu*k on' a CBR 1000? I guess I'm less surprised after watching that video.

PS, I do have zero racing experience. But I've never been ashamed of that. My car was built a street car, day one. Never put anything over 91 in it. Never bought slicks for it. Street only.

I've had my fair share of mountain road racing and experience countersteering, but always on the street. Street street street street street.
