Just to be a snot and finally post what would become the 618th official car for GT2:
1988 Honda Accord
Back in 1982, Honda decided it was more profitable to build the Accord in Marysville, Ohio, because the car was instantly a hit in America. In 1986, the car grew up in size and stature. A useful tool for soccer moms, nitwits, drug-dealers, chop-shops, butchers, bakers, and candlestick-makers, the Accord was a car like no other. It was also the first Honda car to offer retractable headlights.
There were 3 lines of the third-greneration Accord: the DX, featuring an awesome 70hp carbuerated 2-valve-per cylinder inline-4 motor; the LX, the mid-pack 98hp I-4 featuring 3 valves per cylinder. The top-of-the-line model, the LXi, had 4 valves per, and 122hp because it also featured fuel injection, and funky-but-hard-to-clean wheel covers.
Nevertheless, the LX is still a hit today, despite its front-engined, front-wheel drive layoutand it's nice, smooth drive. Despite the tall spacing of ratios in the automatic, the LX was quite capable of 123mph (as proven by pupik on the Sawgrass Expressway in 1993), with style and comfort to match.
With all these benefits, why not make the '88 Accord LX your first car for learning thelimits of adhesion and car control?
