I'm somewhat new here and admittedly this is kind of a stupid thread. But I have never been to a forum like this where car owners both love their car, but constantly bash on it at the same time.

But a Civic Si? Get real people. A stock Civic is just not that fast. A manual 8 would smoke a Civic Si, and EVEN an auto '06 8 would likely beat an Si, although it would be close. The auto is slower than the manual. That's a given. But its not that slow.

my cordless telephone has v-tech...

but here's some deeper'er question: who'll win in a fight? superman or mightymouse? why does nick fury's eyepatch always move to the eye furthest away from the reader? when optimus prime transforms into a truck, where does his trailer come from? in starwars, why did yoda have to tell obi-wan "there is another" if he was obviously there at the twins (luke and leia) birth? since wolverine's bones are metal, can he swim? how does silversurfer move? what happnes to my lap when i stand up? does the thing have a *****? if i drive really, really fast--shouldn't this save more gas since my overall driving time is less? what's better vanilla or chocolate? when megatron transforms into a pistol, how does he shrink?

If we took off the front wheels of both cars, the 8 would win.

hehe, I overheard someone a long time ago ask the same Optimus prime question.

He came to the conclusion that there is an alternate dimension in which the trailer rests until prime needs it.
