Whatever.

I accept you're entitled to your own opinion, but to say the above 3 cars are all show and no go is something of a misguided perception I think.

Read the features and it's quite plain they've got the motovation to match the bling on the outside.

Either way, props to the Ignition boys and girls for another bunch of interesting feature cars, as always I love the photography as well. Hoping for some more of the same stuff once the drag season is cranking.

The Civic was done by AJ @ Whenuapai Auto Refinish with the help of Tony @ Slammed Kustoms I an imagine.

You don't have to love something to appreciate it.

Sorry to offend any one, but I simply don't see that civic on the track or those two 4wd cars on the rally.
Especially when I have parked targa porsches next to my office ;), it takes a look out of the window and say "nah, the cover cars are just bling".
400kW so what? Power alone does not make a car fast.
With those ground clearances I don't see those things going very fast on the road. And WTF with oversized intercoolers these days?
If you have seen the rally cars in real life - you will understand where I'm coming from.

Here how fast car should look like:

Pease take note of lack of rice, ground clearance, wheel arch space.
That thing got a small intercooler (on the roof) about ~ 150mmx700mm (don't know exactly), and makes helluvalot of power.

I think its ghey, if they took the money that they spent on rice and put it into the engine they could have 600 kw,

or they could spend a quarter of the money, lave a car with 250 kw, more drive-ability, and then maybe they could to rally it and pay for spares :lol:

do i get my blasting now?

each to their own i guess but im with the russian on this one rice = poos

FFS the Civic is a show car. SHOW car.

It's not a race car. Therefore all your comparisons are totally irrelevant.

haha not really the point.. the civic build and designed for the show scene.. in that respect it has done extremely well... it has stepped up a level compared to the average show pony when you clearly see the build quality, the innovation and just plain uniqueness... and whether thats your bag or not it can be admired for it.

This is merely one aspect of the performance car world... theres really not point in comparing it to another.

Some people will always be haters dude, I woudn't worry about it too much.

People like sergei will hate on any car that isn't made to rally by the look/sound of it and some people are just like that...nothing we can say will make him think "Hey its a nice car, just not my bag, but I can appreciate it"
