I'm not trying to put the car or the owner down at all. Compared to cars in it's price class it's a pretty slow car. The car has way more show than go, I'm also assuming it's FWD so that kind of hurts it also. I'm guessing an SRT 4 Neon would rape this car for $10k less.

Again, I'm not trying to rag on the car, it looks very nice. I'm just saying $30k seems a bit steep for what your actually getting. It goes along with the suckers that bought a Shelby edition GT Mustang Premium. price for no more performance, we all know what the family wagon did to the stang in road tests.

yeah lol, I even consider my stage 2 sti pretty slow compared to my Vette.

I didn't have a Z06 though, it was just a regular Vette with a crap ton of work done to it.

^^
I can't even imagine what that amount of power on such light car must feel like. I'm going to test drive one of those damn vettes one of these days.

Lots of fun, to much gas doing a simple right hand turn at a stoplight can make you do a 180 in the middle of the street though.

Pretty challenging to drive if you're not use to that much power.

congrats to your sis who has a limited edition car!!!

Get up some more pics. I wanna see interior and engine bay. It's a pretty good looking car, a little pricey but still nice and it's what she wanted which is most important.

" um, I have a STI. No thanks

Funny stuff!

I completely agree! I saw the a Mugen SI at VIR when I went to the races and I was not impressed for what the sticker said. Thanks but no thanks.

CKSTI · 05-20-2008, 04:56 AM

IMO the Mugen SI price is way out of its range...i'll rather take the Lexus IS over that!

I dont have any of the interior or the engine bay at the moment. its interior and engine bay are the same as a normal si. theres only mugen locos on the interior with a different shift knob. Its not like the mugens out in Japan

cause the US has restrictions which sucks. Anyway i have other pics from when my sis test drove it and was in our driveway.

That might rival the STI on how many times the car has it's name somewhere on the vehicle.

lol. yes. in case the ricey lip didn't give it away.

I haven't to say that with a smaller wing and minus the stupid front lip, the car doesn't look bad....for a civic.

hey, I love my STi, but my love with Japanese cars started with civics. congrats on being able to afford a nice looking and authentic Mugen civic.

and from looking at the pictures, it looks like everybody around there is a Honda fan LOL

dc5Aspec'd · 05-20-2008, 02:46 PM

lol yea my whole family has honda's but me and my dad. He has a porshe and i have a sti. The reason we have a lot is bc we know the owner of the dealership and we get good deals (I know i said she got the mugen for 30K but that was the sticker price. i think she got it for 27 or 28K with the deal)
