He had dual fartpipe exhaust.
The rims stuck out wider than the car.

There was a redneck behind the wheel.

I had my digital camera with me but was afraid to use it. If I see it again I will.

No, I did not attempt to race. I know better and on top of that the sheer embarrassment of being beat by something so ridiculous looking might have shrunk my manhood for months.
take your camera AND a gun next time you go out - that car deserves better!!!!

I have some experience with a GTS. Did they ever make them in autos? Because I was less than impressed. Bcak when I still had my neon (97 SOHC 5spd) I was going home from work and this black GTS flew by me and revved its engine in the mall parking lot... I took to the chase. We got on the main highway around here, and we drove like RETARDS from the west side of madison to the east side. We were doing above 90 most of the time, and ... honestly... the car just wasn't that fast. It was a tinier bit faster than my neon.... but... its a freaking Celica GTS.. I expected it to school me.

>shrug<

I'd look into cheaper cars like older integras. They're cheap, get good gas mileage, and handle well. That way you can save more money, and either spend it on your SVX or buy cool toys, or do something responsible and save it in a bank account. But that isn't fun. :P

a used integra isn't a bad idea.. i could probably get into an ACTUAL civic Si, too.. but i think an acura would carry a LITTLE more class than a honda, even though they're nearly identical..

and yeah, my research indicates that the GT-S was avaliable with an automatic and equipped as such, it wasn't a very hot performer.. those things redline near 8,000 rpms though
