Karkov Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 I thought the new SI doesn't come out till 2017 models? I could be wrong, guy at work was talking about them. I know the 17's would be available mid 16 but that's still a year plus, unless it comes out for 2016 in which case you won't be waiting long. 2007 Chevy Tahoe (SOLD) 12 ~ FI Audio X series 10" w/BP option 2 ~ DC Audio 5.0K @0.67 3 ~ DC Audio 5.0K @1.0 2 ~ PPI 3 way sets (not installed yet) 1 ~ RF T400-4, 1 ~ RF T600-2, 1 ~ RF T600-4 4 ~ CT Sounds 5.25" Strato comps (rear fill only) 1 ~ XS Power D4800 1 ~ XS Power D3400 8 ~ XS Power XP3000 160 stock alt, Mechman 370 Elite, 185 DC Power 320+ Sq.

If that's the case, I might hold out for the Type R if it doesn't look as Fast and Furious as the Euro-spec one. 2016 Subaru BRZ | Sony XAV-AX100 | Rockford Fosgate DSM 4080 & DSM 40ix | On 6/6/2012 at 6:32 PM, 'LZTYBRN' said: 3.

boom50cal Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 How about a v6 mustang or camaro.... The little 3.7 v6 cars will flat drag the fuck out of a 4.6 mustang. Mild mods gets them into the 12s. Quite a few guys with intake, exhaust, gears, slicks, and spray in the 11s. The new Si looks promising but yeah, if you've never been around a 200hp+ fwd car you're gonna torque steer it into a ditch. In the words of jeremy clarkson, its better to oversteer into a tree and die without seeing it than understeer into one.

I don't really wanna show up to their biggest plant in Ohio every day in something someone else made. I know that's less of a thing nowadays, but it makes me feel better. Plus I DO like the product a lot to begin with. And I've driven a pissed off Holset turbo CRX that could probably not have been scarier. I imagine a stock Si or Type R would come nowhere near that haha 2016 Subaru BRZ | Sony XAV-AX100 | Rockford Fosgate DSM 4080 & DSM 40ix | On 6/6/2012 at 6:32 PM, 'LZTYBRN' said: 3.

OrionStang Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 Its your money, and you are severely limiting your options because you work for them? Its a mistake in the long term, IMO. SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broke_Audio_Addict Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 Show up at a manufacturing plant with another companies car and see how it goes. You should have brand loyalty if you work for the damn company. That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.

S15_Silvia Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 Gonna have to side with Broke. You're right, it is my money, but brand loyalty is a big deal at plants. Relatives of mine work(ed) for both GM and Ford, and nothing good ever came out of driving other cars to those plants. That being said, I don't think an Si/Type R as a daily would ever be a bad thing. That, or sticking with my current Civic and saving for a half-decent S2000 (weekend car) down the road. Or a 1G NSX if I decide to never get married or have kids (not gonna happen) 2016 Subaru BRZ | Sony XAV-AX100 | Rockford Fosgate DSM 4080 & DSM 40ix | On 6/6/2012 at 6:32 PM, 'LZTYBRN' said: 3.

boom50cal Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 my dad has worked for Ford since 1988. He's driven Fords, Lincolns, Mercurys, Chevys, GMCs, Volkswagens, Toyotas, Nissans, Mercedes, Volvos... He'll tell you time and time again, best cars he's ever had was the Volvo 240 Sedan and the Mercury Grandmarquis. Best trucks were his Datsun 720 pickup and 91 F150 with an inline six. Fuck what people you work with think. You are there for a PAYCHECK. not to make friends. If they got a problem with what you drive, tell them to pay the payment or to suck fat cock. But forreal dude, if you want a fun and practical daily driver, v6 Mustang/Camaro, Scion FRS, Subaru BRZ, Hyunda Genesis coupe, maybe even a Miata if you don't mind getting called a fag. Hands down most fun vehicles I've ever been in have been Miatas and those little FRS. On 1/4/2013 at 9:31 PM, HatersGonnaHate said: Wow. 184 posts and I think you're a fucking asshole.
