wow...really ugly (okay fine, but unique) civic, or small-ish HOUSE. Lemme think here...i'll take the house, thank you very much

what a waste. I bet the only performance mods are suspension, tires, intake and exhaust. Even if it had N2O, I wouldnt add that to the performance mods...I'd make another category to put it under and call it "Retarded Mods"

IMO N2O is for dragsters (funny cars, etc) and serious muscle cars that are actually meant to handle it.

i have a better idea... why not use that money and buy a REAL car... not some rice rocket that the cops will pull you over and ticket the heck out of you.... instead buy one that the cop pulls you over and starts to ask you about it

I can appreciate how MUCH work has gone into that car. As for why spend that much money.....well that is quite cheap for advertising. Westwings and Alpine get a lot of 'free' advertising with that car. The fact that we are talking about it now proves it. If it was a subtle car that no one noticed, then there would be no point. I have read a few articles about this car, and the stuff they have done is crazy. The car that came before it was just as mad. There are a lot of 'fresh' things in/on that car, new pain techniques e.t.c

REMEMBER, this is not a privately owned car! This is Alpine's show car! I would agree with you all if joe bloggs built this to go shopping every day, but it is not, I bet it has done less than 1000 miles! Also, from what I can remember, the car can shift pretty quick.

You can read a little about it here:

For what it is, I appreciate (not like) the car.

Damn it people, please remember this is a peice of ADVERTISING!!!!
