Saw an R32, then wiped my dash off!

I was cruisin behind it and noticed the dual exhaust but it looked to nicely fitted to be aftermarket. So I pulled up next to him and dropped my window and asked if it was indeed an R32. He smiled and said yeah and I propped him, he replied with a nice Thank You and that was that. Some young teen kid in his Dad's newer buick Le Sabre type thing pulled up to him next exchanged a word or two and then started to take off. The kid in the R32 didnt even hit full throttle but the engine and exhaust made the most beautiful sound I have ever heard as he swept right by the kid in the Buick.

It was that metallic blue color too with HIDs and all. Basically stock but why would you need to touch anything on that car. Give me one over an Evo or STi anyday!

Im sorry, but I think you need to seek mental help immediately. The thing is okay, for $25K mabye, but not for its $33K price tag. Dont get me started on the fact that it is underpowered, overweght, overpriced, and is made by a company with one of the WORST reputations for quality and customer service.

dont forget the fact that you dont see these hardly as much as the others. I could care less if its heavier and underpowered compared to the others, its still a hot car.

only 240hp, and the AWD is a Haldex system which is about 95% FWD

Now I will give the car props for a helluva strong motor that takes VERY well to boost. And the tranny is hardcore factory.

Basically what Im saying is that in stock form the car is just, bleh.
Put another 5 or 6 grand after the purchase price into it(turbo kit, etc) and you can probaly run 11s and kick ares on the auto-x course.
