because of all the fags who driving around on cut springs with their smoky engines from thrashing cold vteccing everywhere and being generally annoying on the roads to other users. They give honda a bad name.

I reckon it's because they are jealous that we don't need a turbo or displacement or more cylinders to get 200hp stock. But the ricers also play a big part in the whole honda haters scene.

because when they opened up their 4G63, 13B, 4AGE, SR20, RB26, (insert other waste of metal engines here), they realised the internal machining and componentry cannot be compared in anyway to Hondas brilliance and exacting tolerances.

Theyre jealous.
simple.


(plus the general idiot turbo kid mentality, no offence to the turbo boys here, but youre all heathens...)

because there are these kind of people who:

Say VTAX, VTAKXS, VTEX, VTEXD, and other iterations of V, T, E, and X. I mean it's good fun when they're not being serious and just kidding around but when they start to getting in someone's face, braggin they went 120mph or any bullcrap speed along their neighborhood.. with that..then they're just another Hondildo.

no offence but a dohc vtec aint gonna beat a turbo if they both have the same amount of work done... maybe a startlet turbo, or a forrester or something but not an evo or sti or anything like that....

For a start define fast. Straight line, cornering, braking? How many times has this shit been brought up over the years.

This is a stupid thread, OP go play on the road or something.

Apart from good-natured ribbing and total dorks, most car enthusiasts respect a nice Honda same as we respect say a nice GTR.

It comes down to whatever floats your boat ops: bad pun.

I like Hondas.

Who cares? This has been discussed too many times. R3zin was right in saying this is an unoriginal and lame thread.
