I VTEC LOL

and here's a picture of the original Rice Burner lol I gotta show you the 2 decals I had on the rear window... One was the dude pissing on the Honda Symbol and another was him giving the finger with Rice Burner int he background lol At the time this was cutting edge.. right when the whole import racing scene started.. when it was impossible to fine parts for 4cyl's and the clear lights and all that were just starting to come out.. not like now where they got stuff for every car lol

I had to respond to the comment about other BMW owners.. it seems like every time I run into an M3 they want to race, maybe its because I have the Sport and it looks like an m3? Or maybe they just want to prove its the "welfare" BMW and not a real M?? But I was driving to work on the highway the other day and some idiot in a 98-2003 style accord was behind me - I was in the left lane going probably 70 or 75 but there was some traffic so sometimes i slowed up a bit and a few times this accord would get right up my ass and I could tell he was messing with me.. so once it cleared up I moved into the middled lane and floored it.. they did too but I was too far ahead.. so all of a sudden I pass an Silver e46 M3 who was in the right lane going pretty slow- must have noticed me and then the accord and sped up.. I saw him coming and Kinda waited for him when he pulled next to me I was going over 100- now I don't know if he was scared? (it was a wide open highway without many cars tho) or what but he didn't go any faster - just rode next to me until i down shifted into 4th and left him.. I have never drive an M3 but I would think they would smoke us? But this is the 2nd or 3rd one that has messed with me on the highway the others were e36's- does it ahve anything to do with how fast we were going? I know 0-60 and 1/4 times mean alot on the street from a stop or whatever.. but what about once u already going pretty fast.. I think a car needs to be alot faster and powerful to really "run away" once ur moving.. but the difference between the ti and m3 is huge.. so i don't get it.

There's always gonna be a rivalry between JDM and DTM. Just like Ford and Chevy. Also keep in mind that you don't just drive any ol' Bimmer, you drive a Ti and most people don't even know they exist. Not to mention their handling ability, weight distribution, balance, overall capability and the fact that you're boosted! Let em laugh, think they're the shiet, whatever. They'll never understand and if by some chance they get behind the wheel of a Ti, they'll feel dumb that they even compared their car against it. Civics and Preludes are a dime a dozen, the only badge that really matters is the one on the right corner of your hatch.

BTW, I get it all the time from all sorts of cars. Stangs, Vettes, Ricers, Heck even other Bimmers. They see you rollin on sport suspension and low profile tires and they wanna race. Sure sometimes I'll give it a go if there's no one around. I usually tear them up in the corners, but I never bank on beating anyone on the freeway. I'm happy knowing that my car looks cooler and is more fun to drive than most of the other stuff out there.

once your on the freeway the only thing that has you winding on reserve power is your torque. now an e46 or a e36 will kill any of us including hugo on the freeway. maybe on a start up we will shot out for half a car because of our lighter weight but as soon as they the m3s shift into 2nd their gaining 2 or 3 cars on us. our cars are not fast their quick but not fast. ive had an m3 play with me on the freeway and i have a chip so no governor. he was literally pushing me from the back drafting then shooting off on the side of me. now true be he was my friend and he was just messing with me. our cars just arnt meant for speed or a great pick up. their meant to get into those turns 10 cars away and make that gap into 2 cars. if you got a Ti to beat a Si or a RSX in a drag then you got it for the wrong reason.

Dont be so quick to judge.

Joeybello that E46 was totally messing with you. I had an e46 and trust me there's is like no chance you could win.

Then dont jump into conclusions

I know its common sense 138hp or whatever the Ti has vs 240 isn't going to win.. but I also had a turbo talon and on the highway it wasn't that fast.. so thats why I wondered. But as far as beating an Si by 2 cars with a Ti... yea right unless the ti was modded and the Si stock. I remember seeing a Car and Driver comparison back in 1995? The Ti Sport vs the Acura Integra GSR and the GSR beat the TI in like everything and was almost a second quicker in the 1/4 something like 16.5 or maybe even 16.8 to 15.7 or so.. and I had a 2001 GSR it was much quicker then the Ti and also my Si. Thats why I said the Si and Ti would be a good race. A stock 5spd Neon can beat a Ti so I know they aren't race cars.. I just always wanted a BMW and got a good deal on this, with only 83k. But my next car will definitely be another BMW either an e36 M3 or an E46 330 preferable AWD.

ey please read what your saying....a GSR is 170hp the Si is 160hp ....the gsr weight is 2667 and the Si is 2782. do you understand how the gsr can be faster? first of all with just my chip and exhaust i was able to play with that poor excuse of a Si. ive sat in moded GSR and i love them their amazing fast but not the Si. the Ti on the other hand is 140hp and 2,745. i think the number are pretty fair and seeing that the Ti has the same torque as both the hondas it has potential of taking them. and the reason the talon didnt feel quick on the freeway was because turbos stop spooling at high speeds your not running on any boost. your running on engine power alone. Sry the egg Si is the worst car ever built!

[M3_KILL3R]

now if your referring to the 99 honda civic Si, with the B16 engine then ya that car is something else. id take that car in a heartbeat.

[HuGo]

Ok girls lets calm down.

BTW, my Ti isnt 140hp lets just clear that up

Dude, please slap yourself with that comment. Common man, a neon will not beat a Ti, lets get realistic here.
