Well I went to an import car show yesterday in rockingham, NC.  It was at the dragstrip.  There were hundreds of cars there.  Mostly honda civics and integras.  There were a few eclipses, 2 supra tt's, and 1 rx-7.  I looked around the whole lot and found 1 240!  1 freaking 240 in the whole show.  I was disappointed to say the least but went up and talked to the guy.  It was an asain guy and he had the interior stripped out.  The car was flat black with black 17's.  I asked him what he had done to the car and he said oh, not much just a racing head and new cams.  I was like oh, so no turbo or nitrous.  He pointed to the back of the car where I saw a bottle coverd up with a towel.  Sneaky little guy  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>  They were gonna open the track but they called it off due to rain.  people were racing on the return road though.  I wish I had my car cause they were all civics and preludes racing.  Mostly stock with a grapefruit launcher on the back.  I would have loved romping all over them all.  Although there were some reallllly fast cars there.  A guy with an eclipse came by right after 2 guys took off and he just shifted 2nd and dumped clutch and smoke started rolling off the tires, psssshhhhht, 3rd, tires spin faster more smoke, psssshhhhht, 4th, smoke pouring out of the wells and then he let off.

and it was all Nissan's fault.  Stupid company.  I went to the Philadelphia car show in July and anything Nissan really had goin perfomance wise was their Sentra spec V (next was the 3.5 liter engine, lol).  I've heard good things about the car but still that's just a sportier version of the Sentra.   I think couple senior citizens and I were the only people looking at Nissan cars.   Then there's Honda/Acura with their integra, rsx, and NSX.    To anyone knowin jack about cars would think Honda's the better company.  

EVen Saturn had a riced out SC2 on displayed!  It looked pretty nice.  anyone seen it?
