okay, honestly, the r18 is pretty slow.

given, there are slower cars, but not too many. you can put a lot of money and make them fast, but if you put that same amout of money into an Si it would be soo much faster,

for a little while i was thinking of getting a turbo kit for my r18, but then i thought....

No, i'll just get an Si later and put the greddy turbo in it.

I almost never see FG2s. It's all about R18s around here.

Haha, and I don't think it was a strange sight with the R18s. I bet people thought it was cute.

What are you talking about? I never said the SI was slower than the R18, obviously it isn't.
