A ricer's logic of increasing horsepower

Big *** wing= 30
Racing stickers= 10
Wide body kit= 25
Big mis-matched rims= 20
Primer paint job= 30
Underglow= 20
40* camber= 20
It's a Honda= 50
Fart can muffler= 60,000,000

Total increase= 60,000,210

Actual increase= -20

This:

I'm not digging the rear portion of that car.... it's pretty ugly. I'm far from an expert on it so I don't know how it performs, but I'm not sure I'd care to drive it even if it did drive well.

As a B5 S4 owner, I'm a bit biased... but the B5 S4 avants are one of my favorites:



Much cleaner look, in my opinion, and some of the better builds are putting down 600-700 awhp.

The NISSAN STAGEA is only a rear wheel drive with the weaker RB20DET engine.

I was talking about the newer generation of the IS. I actually see a couple of the older wagons around here so I've kind of wondered why they didn't at least offer it. I guess they just didn't sell well.

So not exactly a beast/sleeper wagon. If love to build a sleeper avant eventually.

I wasn't sure about the AWD but didn't know of the RB25 option.

Is a dorsal fin an exception?
