Yup, sure do. When I drive my V8 all wheel drive, six speed, Audi S4 I don't get a single word. But when I drive my old stock turd of a 1998 Acura Integra(fancy civic) I get all the boy racers drooling and saying "nice teggie!". So, yes, I know the boys who gawk at your car. 
I don't think I would have been surprised if I got attention from younger guys, but oddly enough, it has been middle age guys. |

Before I sold my Challenger for a pick up I used to get tons of people giving me thumbs up.

As the driver of the car in my avatar yes and I am jealous of your RS. We have sold two and I didn't get to drive either of them. Our parts rep has an RS and he took me for a ride it. Off the line it is quicker than mine for sure. 40-100 roll on it would be close. Mine is tuned, intake, exhaust and some other stuff so I should be about 40-50hp over stock. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
It would be close for sure. The RS weighs about 150-200lbs more than the ST, that would probably eat up the power difference between your car and a stock RS. I had an ST before this. It was a quick car, but there was no denying the zero traction FWD was really holding it back. Hopefully the next generation ST has at least a basic AWD system. I love not having to worry about traction anymore.. just kick the gas and go. The power delivery of my stock ST actually made it feel faster than my RS when just zipping around town at part throttle.

I agree the FWD in the ST is its limiting factor. If I am driving my car "hard" it breaks loose in second gear with the traction control on. With it off it is basically a smoke show in first and still some spin and smoke in second. With a tune, exhaust and intake you should be able to get the RS to 375 or so horse power. Just a tune would wake it up a ton. |

I doubt they are going to make both of them AWD. That is the whole reason to make the RS in the first place. I agree the FWD in the ST is its limiting factor.

With a tune, exhaust and intake you should be able to get the RS to 375 or so horse power. Just a tune would wake it up a ton.
I may do some basic mods to the RS. But I don't want to void the warranty, so I am holding out for an FRPP tune for it. If that doesn't happen (or is just a lame tune) I will probably wait until I have about 10-15k miles on the car then go with an aftermarket option. |

I've got a bunch of different motorcycles, but this one gets the most comments. It puts out 145hp and 155 foot pounds of torque at the rear wheel. On the dragstrip, it eats 600cc crotch rockets for lunch. I have another one that's blown on alcohol (180hp) with custom paint, but it doesn't get the attention this one does.

I used to have a 3000GT that was a complete pile of shit (mechanically, like every single 3000GT ever) that got absolute non-stop compliments when it wasn't in the shop. At virtually every red light, people would either roll down their window and want to talk about it or race it. It was never a good car, but I guess the styling attracted a lot of attention.

I didn't think I'd find an RS that was reasonably priced so I expected I'd end up in the vette. I do love my RS, but the C7's get me every time. I will have to get one someday.

I have a restored 1970 Honda Trail 90 that I use hunting, camping, and sometimes ride to the store in summer. People my dad's age are always going nuts over it. Seems like every guy over 50 had one of these things back in the day.
I don't doubt if I put it up for sale I would sell it within the day at a good profit. |
