btw- what's the quarter mile on your lightning?
i ride an 2001 Yamaha R6. Stock standard 'cept the full titanium race exhaust.
Supposedly 0-100km/h (or 62mph for u fellows living in UK and US) in 3.2 sec, but i've yet to see it done. you either cook the clutch or lift the front wheel - both of which cost a lot if they go wrong
I've seen 254km/h on the speedo, thats 158mph in US/UK talk, dunno what corrected speed would be. NOt sure what the factory claims the top end to be either.

Gotta love when you have to buy a house and haul lawn mowers and ****.
Favorite cars I've owned: (all bought new)
'91 Nissan SE-R
'94 Honda Accord EX
'97 Acura Integra Type-R
'01 Acura CL Type-S
Fun FUN FUNNNNN to drive...all of them.
Next...either an S2000, a 350Z, OR if I have an incredible year this year...an M3.
Those are the three on my wish list.

Which do you prefer?
Come on...you can't like Mercedes AND BMW! lol
Atleast not if you're an F1 fan too. hee hee
McLaren/Mercedes for me.
(But shhhh...the M3 and M5 rule!)
I bought the Mercedes because the BMW SUV was too expensive.
I still have not been given the Mercedes ownership experience I hear about so often; owning this thing has been a ghastly nightmare (why is the CD player in the rear?!). That said, I would buy another Mercedes (not another ML) -- our company is actually handing out base E-classes to those in the position directly above mine.
I like BMWs more, though, and yet strangely I also drive an Audi.
Eh, I'll have a BMW before long.- 34

I drive my parents 2001 Honda Civic LX 4-door (I'm only 18 so I don't have my own car)
It's a nice car, only has 115hp and 110ft.lbs but the engine sounds nice when you rev it to 7,000rpm. I've gotten it up to 175km/h, could have done 180 but I didn't want to blow the engine because of the limiter.

Maybe it's not the original engine. People put 302's in Toyota Landcruisers here in Australia for that bit of added grunt.

I currently have two trucks.
My first one is a 93 Chevy 1500 Silverado (5-speed, very rare). It has 217000 miles on it, so I have semi-retired it. (I happen to be driving it today)
Engine Mods on it include:
True dual Flowmaster Exhaust.
Headers
KN Performance intake
Upgraded Performance Chip
Some added "looks:"
Full truck running boards
Euro light Hyperwhite Headlights
Street Glow teal Neons
Chrome 5 star wheels (Cheap 15")
Upgraded tires 275-60-15 BF Goodwrench
Truck number 2:
A 02 Chevy Xtreme (4.3 V6 5-speed). It already has 23000 miles on it. I drive a far distance to work. Not even a year old yet. I have big plans for this truck. Starting with this years tax returns!
So far, I have only changed the Headlights and fog lights to the Eurolite Xennon blue/white blubs, and put white neons underneath.
With in the next couple months, the shopping list includes:
Tenzo Racing Wheels; Passion 5 (18" silver, or gunmetal)
New tires probably 245-40-18 don't know what brand yet.
New Guages. Blue Carbon fiber look.
Euro tail lights, Carbon fiber back ground.
Cat-back dual Exhaust (don't want to void the warrenty just yet)
Down the road plans:
Reprogram of the factory computer
New Peformance chip
KN air filter setup (including new air intake meter)
Headers, completing the dual exhaust.
A supercharger (GOD, I can't wait for this)
Ok, so there it is. Way to much information about my trucks. I will post pictures soon. Probably this weekend.

I currently drive a '93 AE101 with a 4A-FE powerplant! Yeah, boy...unleash all one-hundred horses...STAMPEDE! Three gears...gotta save weight in the auto-x! Can you say weight saving? No crummy wheel covers for me, no power anything, no extra amenities; less is more for my high-19-second quarter-mile times (and that's with the a/c on).
Top Speed = 75mph (scared to go any quicker without an alignment)
Miles per gallon = 30-32
* [You know I'm a bad-ass because I didn't say the word "Toyota Corolla" in my post.]
