Specialized Car Forums... The mark of a GREAT CAR

I was thinking that one of the indicators of a really great car is the reaction it causes on it's owners and the following and loyalty it commands. And one of the indicators of a great folowing is the fact that the car has a web comunity dedicated to it. To my knowing this are the top comunities or cars that spawn this kind of following.

RX8 Obiously!!!
Miata www.miata.net
Mini: www.mini2.com
Subaru WRX/STI ???
Mitsubichi Evolution VIII: ???
Toyota Matrix www.matrixowners.com
Honda Civic: ??? does it matter?
dodge Viper www.viperalley.com
Ford Mustang www.mustangsforums.com

post other forums that you know about and what you think of them.

I had a Ford Probe GT before and I really liked that car. The ProbeTalk forum is pretty good. Knew a few people posting there and learned a lot about the car - just like I do here too.

Subaru is http://www.nasioc.com/ , a huge forum... also http://www.i-club.com/, but that's not as big these days.

There's a huge amount of Honda forums out there, such as http://www.honda-tech.com/ ... Despite the ricers, Honda does have a lot of good technology and the aftermarket is huge.

Mazda Proteges, excellent cars, have http://www.msprotege.com/, a huge forum dedicated primarily to Mazda Proteges, Protege5s and Mazdaspeed Proteges.

Edit: I don't think I said "huge" enough in this post. So here's some more: huge huge huge huge.

For Integra/RSX owners: www.team-integra.net
It might be one of the largest car forums on the net. It also has step-by-step articles on how to upgrade and perform maintenance on your car. A very cool atmosphere overall. I felt like I was a part of the "team."

Yeah. I even found a forum for the Ford 500 and Camry. Having a forum is expected at this point and not particularly special.

www.vfaq.com I know it's a little off topic (not being a forum), but it's close. It's a site for DIY jobs on Talons and Eclipes'. I wouldn't mind seeing something like this for our cars.

yes, sorry about RX-7club, aparently I have it undetachably linked to THIS forum in my mind. I should have mentioned the quality of the forum also reflects on the quality of the car. I dont just mean a "I have a RiceRocket5000 and just killed 3 porshes, 2 vipers and a Ferrari going down I 75" forums I mean forums where you can actualy get usefull info on the cars.
There's a huge amount of Honda forums out there, such as http://www.honda-tech.com/ ... Despite the ricers, Honda does have a lot of good technology and the aftermarket is huge.
You're right, there was no disrespect intended, just there are toooooo many of them
