Dudes and Dudettes,

Accord? I don't care if it had a Mr. Fusion and disappeared to the 1950's at 88 mph...an Accord is for soccer moms, librarians and hippies.

Point is: there are a lot of great powerplants being produced for the masses now. We are in a sort of Golden Age of power. Imagine the day when Porsche owners defend their cars with the excuse that we don't care about straight line acceleration!! I love it. After all, only a cad would go fast on the street.... or in a straight line........ :ah:
bwahahahaha

I'm sure Porsche will be coming out with some big HP and torque improvments.

Meanwhile I'm havin a blast, even whilst being blown away by Z06's, M3's and EVO's.

Query: If James Dean were alive today; what would he drive?

James Dean would be driving a spatula.

Watch it, Rail, I own an Accord, and I don't have kids in soccer, I ain't no mommy, I've not been into a library since I was 16, and while I smoked a fair amount of pot in my youth, I looked nothing like a hippie ... more like a computer geek, actually.
