the problem is that everyone has seen too many fast n furious movies. gotta have the foreign cars with ugly paint jobs. D, i am a guy like you. i was a mechanic for 10 years. foreign cars are rumored to be more reliable, but they are impossible to work on yourself. buy the firebird. if something simple goes wrong with it, you can fix it yourself instead of taking it to a garage and have them charge you an arm and a leg to fix it for you.
Ur right about the muscel thing. But ne way I bet it all comes down to the test drive but right now i am leaning toward getting the firebird just because it is something i can make really cool looking and still have it be cheaper then the acura. and i agree with RJ on alot of his points but as Bkk stated the acura is something that people will stare at a lil bit more just becuse you dont see a 16 year driving around in a 2001 acura everyday 😛
but in the long run i bet i get the firebird
