Better question is why is Rawazzlt1 asking me to explain your quotes

I am tAlking f-bodies because that is what I drive and have the most knowledge on. I wouldn't ever buy or mod a Honda Civic. I hate the way they look. There is a reason I picked a Formula as my ride. Power and potential were factors but looks is what first attracted me to this car. Hell I would take a 13.2 @ 104 WS6 over a 12.0 @ 124 Civic any day of the week and twice on Sunday. Not that there is anything wrong with Civics or people that choose them for thier platform. It's just not for me.

If you guys are trying to change my opinion on ET vs Trap then your wasting your time. I like drag racing at the track. I love Formulas/Trans Ams. Because of those two facts I can say this to be true for me and my goals:

A3>A4>M6
ET>trap
my wife and kids > all
