ehhee blow off valve eh, you really live up to your name

hehehe cheers mate
haha
its just that i like these little misc noises, exhausts are just plain and boring now, vtec sounds like a broken car being pushed hard... so its all turbo now.. abig vroom then a smooth psssshhh

wrx vs teg are apples and oranges.

race inspired coupe vs. family 4-door with a turbo

but seriously, i'd get a wrx if i'd go turbo and comfort... better than a skyline gtst or something

Well there are about as many gtsts as there are wrxes these days but id go the gtst or the 34gtt over the wrx purely cause its got 2 more cyl more room for mods and is really an all round better car.

Gotta love teh phrase "race inspired" what the frell does that mean? hondas race cars are nothing like the teg. They are FWD for starters and the definition of a sports car starts with RWD so that kills that. Its not got alot of power so that kills that. It does however handle very well and have a good weight distribution so iguess that helps.

Last time i got inspired by racing i went and got a beer

Sadly, I think you have a point, when it comes to the DC5

EDIT: before I get flamed, what I meant is, with the DC5R(S) Honda took the performance of the DC2R and made it more accessible. Which is a good thing! Since the DC2R can be a pain in the ass to live with sometimes.

But in the process, they made it less "race-inspired" IMO.

Hi guys,
I am not too familar with sports cars but im considering buying a second hand 2003 DC5R or a 2003 WRX...wat are the benefits of each that u noe of?
I noe personally that the HOndas are very reliable as i am driving atm a 1998 model accord. the type r, from reviews appear to be uncomfortable for driving? can this be fixed by suspension or sth? the WRX is good because its all wheel drive and 4 doors.
Also, can adults fit into the back seats...im 6ft tall BTW...

cheers

Judging from your requirements (and worries) - WRX is the car for you............................forget DC5R.

Don't forget, boxer rumble from 'zaust!

BTW, the type R *is* comfortable for the driver. Just not so much the passenger, and definitely not the rear passengers (really, only small/young fit in the back)

If ur comparing comfort, from a chicks perspective, go the rex (front and back seats).
