yes i know..and i got poor dyno numbers on the top end because of this but awesome torque numbers...

unfortunately, i live in CA. I'm afraid of cops...cops are dicks in SoCal. So I opted not to put anything ricer on my car. Exhaust would get toooo much attention...especially on a "honda". My car is bone stock (exterior) from the front back....down to the 14" hub caps!!! its basically sleeper.

A stock civic probably draws more attention than a riced out one in Cali.

The solora is a Really sharp car...

About the only car I can think of that has a more disgusting rear end than the Solara, is the Pontiac Aztek. Solara has a giant, bulbous **** that, in my opinion, ruins the look of the car. I mean, come on:

The Solara can be more bang for the buck if you get a decent discount on it ,
BUT the exterior is hideous, nasty, horrid to look at.

It was an easy choice for me to pass on that bloated looking thing.

YOu were supposed to be the chosen one, to save us from the dark Solaras, not to embrace them. I have failed you.
