@GabeLakmann @Twoinchdestroya I’ve driven a LOT of cool cars, pretty much gotten seat time in all the tuner greats sans the eclipse and the 3000 GT, out of all of them the most fun I ever had, in 1st AND 2nd place were both I4 FWD hondas. Unlike everything else you can really spin them up to the limit and not end up in a police chase.
You can savor the experience, and you simply can’t do that in most anything moderately fast. Guys love a 3.7 sec sprint to sixty…..but there’s not much fun in that. You’re just looking for excuses to merge on the interstate ten times in a row. Meanwhile, the guy with a K24 is doing 11,000 RPM on a 45 mph sweeper and only going 17 over.
actually I don’t think I’ve driven an eclipse, either. The S2k was cool enough, just didn’t grab me. Felt like a slightly germanic miata in a way, extremely cramped cockpit and noisy as hell with the cloth top. Plus fuel burn blew me away - but I did keep it in vtec a lot, so it would make sense.
