i shifted my auto tranny at buttonwillow all day long last year like it was some sort of steptronicthinger from 1989. the next day, i could only drive in reverse, so i just gave myself an excuse to do the tranny swap with my crashed 87. Not the best way to dispose of a slushbox, but abusing the life out of it was fun. 5spd + 4.10lsd = ftw, until [I] turbo.

Still too heavy. Put it on a kart frame and I'll be impressed.
Oh, what does this have to do with the thread?

On another day, Dad drove my E46 to Santa Barbara. He commented several times that it drove really "different". He said it had better "feel", better steering, better cornering, and was quieter on the highway than the Acura. He kept catching himself going 80-90 without realizing it. It was painful for him to admit that the Acura wasn't as good.
On yet another day, we dropped by our local BMW dealer in SLO. They had two M6's (a coupe and convert) and an M5 in the showroom. Plus a couple of E92 coupes. You should have seen it, he was like a little kid. My Mom and I couldn't get him out of there. After driving my car, and sitting in some new bimmers, he's seriously considering trading the Acura for an E92 coupe.
BMW vs Acura? BMW is the hands down winner in any category.

I know this comment will get laughed at by ignorant people, but take an Acura for a spirited drive, namely a performance oriented one like a Type-S or Type-R/GS-R, but even the '90 Integra RS i drove handled very, very well and wasn't completely gutless.
Good idea about posting up pics of the car I all ready see what the comments would be like.I was born with nothing and still have most of it left
