Default $250,000 Honda Civic :eek:

And all you guys hassled me about my friend who threw $19k into his Si. h: On the front cover of the new Super Street, a new Si done by Alpine very similarly done to their RSX. Actually the paint is practically identical. Who would spend $250,000? :dunno: But I don't quite believe them, theres no way there can be that much in parts, and labor.

Comments please...

the alpine si is hideous, like the center drive idea, other than that it's garbage. Pay 250k and get an si thats slower than stock!

Looks like ass I read the article and am completely unimpressed with that car and that magazine...this just confirms my original opinion of it......


doesn't even make good toilet paper.

I used to like Stupid Street, now I'm pissed that I bought a subscription, I mean wtf, most(if not all) of the articles feature irrelevant bs that just sounds dumb. I like a new magazine called Modified, I read about the Si in there and then saw the photos in SS and couldn't believe how much Super Street photographers suck.

Agreed. After sending out a subscribtion request to Super Street for 2 years, (luckily it was scotch FREE) I found other respectable mags like Sport Compact Car and Honda tuning (although thin), and Modified Mag. I am very dissapointed with SS to me its become quite evident that Super Street is the magazine eqiuvalent of a riceboy...

The one thing i really like about SS is some of the ties with Japanese tuners and the articles featured within the issues about drifting and the JGTC coverage.

I really don't like many import magazines anymore, Super street has a few nice cars featured every couple months but their editorial ruins the article. Sport Compact annoys me because they seem to focus mainly on the 240sx. I like Honda Tuning and my only gripe with them is what you already mentioned: it's tiny. Don't get me started on Import Tuner, that's like the Pep Boys/APC of import magazines.
