A rusty crapheap outta autotrader is worth exactly what someone is willing to pay for it. Same as your sweet early '90's rides. I never once brought up my "muscle" car you guys attacked it when it had nothing to do with this topic at all. Is it worth more than his 240? of course it is, any idiot knows that. Can you guys beat me in a straight line or around a track with a 500Hp heap? sure you can no big deal, i'm ok with that. Is your car going to ever be worth as much as mine? heck no. There was no reason to drag my car into this, you are just being ignorant and whiny. He asks a question, i answer...don't like the answer get off this predominantly opinionated forum and visit one of your sissy go happy sites.

ps I also own an evo so obviously i'm not too biased. who would be more biased? the guy who owns a 240 attempting to justify his asking price of 12K or the guy who could care less? Of course an opinion is going to be biased, it's your opinion.

I really am sorry for hurting your feelings all these years, you could've come out and approached me earlier...your feelings are important to me and you deserve to be coddled.
Why isn't gonna be worth more than yours? Muscle cars are a thing of the past. This is a new generation, that is predominantly run by guys between 16-25...yes, there are the select few that value your style car, but not near as many that like the old evo's, 240s, FD's, FC's, old hatches, etc, etc...those are the new "classics" to us...we can't see spending $20k restoring,say a chevelle, that makes 400hp, when you can get a civic hatch, k20 swap, make 250whp, and still get 25mpg and be faster with about $12k invested. Now don't get me wrong, NOTHING sounds better to ME than an aggressive cam'd v8...I love them! I wouldn't want that in a old car though, rather a c5 vette, or a late gen camaro, T/A, or such....but to each his own...and you're right, we are entitled to our opinions, and as you seen, this is a predominantly import based site....you can't justify paying $15k for my car, I can't justify paying $5k for yours...that's our opinions, no one will change it, and let's leave it at that....

But I guess logic cant come to all of us.
It wasn't the motor, it was the driver....I pushed it past my tune and blew it up...same thing that will happen to EVERY car that you do that too....and I have been running it that way since NOPI, Rockingham....just that day, it happen to give out me....does it suck? Fuck yeah, who wants a built block to melt a piston? No one...now I'm out another $5k building it again, except this time, it will be fully built...now, I have never got into the "it's still a neon" thing...I could give 2 shits if you drive a neon, a cobalt, a ion redline, whatever...you like it, you drive it, who the fuck cares what other people think....srt4's are fast, can gain power easily, and have AC, which is 99% of the reason why I'm selling my 240....now, you don't think it's worth $15k? That's fine...that's the whole point of this thread...tell me what you think it's worth...I know people are gonna give their opinions no matter what...but this thread isn't titled " Tell me what you think about my car and how much it's worth"...so if someone post their opinion, expect me to post mine....that is all....

I was just trying to get a rise out of dudeman. I like your car, and I know that any little thing can cause even a built motor to blow if its not right.

It saddens me that people cannot express their opinions in a constructive way on this website. He asked for opinions, and it turns into a flame war.

Consider this a warning to all parties involved.
