This is one funny ad, thanks for posting. Guessing it is not a real listing though.

1998 Honda Civic

Warning: this car is NOT for the faint of heart. Its 1.8l v4 VTEC is a real neck breaker. (VTEC means a turbo kicks in a 5000 rpm and adds power).
Has a real JDM style paintjob that cost me 8000 so this price is a steal.
This car may look small, but it has 160 factory horsepower and really goes fast!
Has the original, high-quality 4 speed automatic transmission that really helps you take off super fast.

UPGRADES:
Air filter (offbrand from walmart)
Wheels
Vents in hood for more speed
Stickers on windshield for sponsors

Don't send me a trade for your rear wheel drive or all wheel drive wannabe racecar garbage. This is a real, front wheel drive, racecar.

Nobody likes your mustangs or lame 240s so stop trying.
273k miles (low for honda)
Wanting 12,000 firm

With such a low-powered engine, especially with those awful slushbox automatics - it really does feel like a boost when you get into the bigger cam profile. I had a '94 with the 1.5L 130hp engine and a 5 speed manual. It redlined at 8,000, and normal driving required hitting at least 6,500 before shifting. Those things are damn near unbreakable, though - I once drove it at top speed (118 mph) for 14 straight hours and sold it with 250,000 miles on the clock.

What I think is funniest is the "$8,000 paintjob" on the $3,000 car.

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
