American Muscle vs. Japanese Speed

MuGen · 04-13-2005, 12:51 PM

Which do you prefer and what kind of car do you drive, if any?

I drive a 2000 Honda Prelude Type SH DOHC V-TEC. Or if thats too many abbreviations, I drive a '00 Honda Prelude VTec.

I prefer speed over muscle, because in my opinion a lot of the really powerful american cars are ugly... besides the new mustang.

I drive a 91 CRX. That can't really be considered speed, but I have always prefered the Japanese engineering of cars and if I had more money, I would get an Eclipse or a Prelude or something of that nature.

European luxury. I simply couldn't settle for anything less.

American muscle (if we're talking about the good old muscle cars) or european. Most the japanese cars look cheap to me, many look the same. (some look great tho dont get me wrong,)

I have no specific time era in mind, taking this poll. You can look at American Muscle as a '67 Mustang or a '05 Mustang GT or a Dodge Charger of the old 442's

Same with all the others. European is Luxury because although they have power and speed, it takes a sh*t load of money to acquire one, and the insides are usually luxurious.

This poll can take place from the old '15 Ford T Model to the '05 Ferrari 360 Spyder

My favorite car of all time is the '96 Nissan Skyline R33

Also GM, can I ask what type of European Luxury? I picture you in a '88 Rolls Royce with Suede interior and wine bottles everywhere....

Why the hell isn't Middle Eastern Rickshaw included in this poll! I'd rather have two guys carrying me around than be driving in a piece of machinery.

Even though I drive an SUV (of sorts), I'd still like a car for me...

I drive the 2000 Nissan Frontier SE. The car for me is the 96 Nissan 240SX (or the Nissan Silvia S14... to be exact...)

99 Eclipse Spyder GST

Probably got 230 hp, which is fine with me (for now)

/me drives off into the sunset with the top down.

I'm guessing your Eclipse isn't stock, considering they aren't 230 stock. Cuz 99 GST models have about 210 stock with the intercooled turbocharger. You must've done SOMETHING to it.

DarrenMcLeod · 04-13-2005, 03:14 PM

If I had to pick out of those topics, I'd probably go European Luxury. I'm not big on the sports cars and stuff like that... not my style. I'd prefer to drive classy.

Have you ever driven a Nissan Skyline?

No?

I have.

MuGen · 04-13-2005, 03:17 PM

Hey there goes Darren, he's flaunting his new BMW M5 with leather seating and Contra flags....

EDIT: Cool you've driven one, I went to a Hot Import Nights and got to drive a R32.... but I wanted so bad to be inside a R33.

Which skyline were you able to drive?

DarrenMcLeod · 04-13-2005, 03:39 PM

Hahaha I wish I was driving a beamer. Right now I don't drive because I'm at school (my girlfriend drives me around in her pimped out PONTIAC SUNFIRE), and at home I either drive the family Civic or our little Geo Tracker (that doesn't have power steering... alllllriiiiight).

Dyne · 04-13-2005, 03:47 PM

I either choose Japanese or Euro, but preferrably not American. I like the luxury of BMW and Volvo, and the Japanese cars are just well-built cars.

On a side note, I really can't see how people like the Camaro. It's a piece of crap. I've test-driven two. Is there something I'm missing? Because they have awful handling. It's not worth it to drive one.

DimHalo · 04-13-2005, 03:49 PM

I voted American Muscle because my first love was the Ford Mustang. But generally my taste changes from month to month.

I drive a Kia Rio because that is what my parents bought me, its name is the Micro Machine.

I would like to own a Mustang, but I also like the Jetta.
