hmmm yeah this wasn't one of those... and you have to look at it this way. Once you start doing swaps and just keeping the body, dude you can make a vw beatle faster than a lambo.

need I say which car is better anyways?

For the couple seconds that it runs maybe. Plus a lawn mower engine is easy to mod

let's not mention he can't take turns and don't think all the engine mods followed suspension mods and got rid of the FWD

actually I was wishing I had my cammera all day yesterday. Ricer was out in full force with the sunny weather and I got tailed by so many POS hondas and other junk, I stoped caring because destroying them was getting hard on the gas gauge.
At 4.12/gal, they aren't worth my gas.

VW + Swap = 15,000 (thats super over estimating just because it wont matter in this comparison)

Lamborgini = 100,000+ ( i know this is a low ball price but again those two things are like comparing apples and donkeys, not even in the same universe.)


But I get what your saying about swaps. however its not like theyre putting LS1's in them. Theyre putting Honda motors in a Honda. And they always 4 cyl. I think this can be debated from now until the end of time. so Ill just forget about it.
I wouldnt drive one none the less.

dude that car has a hole in its hood.

I'm not sure there is any debate at this point. Lik you said, you can't compare, even dollar to dollar and make any sense. Everybody who likes to tune cheap imports always goes for the same old price comparison. Hell even the guys with 1000hp impreza 2.5rs's out there will say the same or the srt-4 guys. Even though to really match euro exotics in anything other than a 1/4 mile, you'd be investing a lot more than 15k in suspension and breaking.

what they don't account in their price is that, part of that 100K you pay, goes into making you drive something this awesome and jaw droping cool. Not to mention, the little civic would probably just fly off the road and kill you. lol.

and yeah I'm sure hondas will smoke it . But like you said, who'd want to drive one

here is the VW next to the uber honda.



I'm not sure that's carbon fiber. It looked to me like crappy paint. or maybe it peeled off because it's so fast.
