if the diablo's license plate was FRM HELL he came into honda house when i was working there, he's vice president of either suntrust or suncom i forget, but those are kind of out dated now in my opinion, like the 355, classic, but would be considered a "budget" vehicle in a city like miami

i agree that evo is probably one of the coolest all around cars in richmond, but it just doesn't have that bad ass quality of a 1,000 hp

anyone know the guy that had the 9 or 10 second wrx? it was black, roll cage, nitrous, parachute when he was at the track, 6 speed sequential gear box... he also came into honda to buy a helmet for it and was telling me all about it, saw him at the track in a pretty nasty GN and he seemed really knowledgable so i don't think he was bs'ing

The sc300 wasn't in Richmond very long. It was at my garage for about 3 months for various things, it got driven on the streets several times around town, and yea... it was scarry

Yeah I agree about the diablo, I lived in Miami for 20+ years and those are budget supercars...lol but I guess thats cool for here.
Evos are cool but they are not sexy, they are boxy and you have to be partial to them in my opinion to like them. I also know the dude with the 9sec rex. But agian its fast and makes shit loads of power but I cant really say its hotness. Its fast...even kinda ugly.

mightymouse wins
The best, hands down.... there are a few with quicker ET(set-up for strictly drag racing), higher PEAK numbers, there are those that handle better, there are ones who have better sound systems and wilder paint jobs... but a car to have so much of all these, AND be daily driven on street every where he goes (it is his only means of transportation) and to be as clean/well done as it is... just can't beat it.
His car is a pure street car...and on the highway is almost unbeatable... even by those on two wheels . The area under the curve that his car has versus the higher peaking imports (supras for one) mean more to me than those 500rpm peak numbers that only do you good in high gear for that second or two. So driving around town you have enough ass to get you going.... as opposed to the lag city you have with the others.

Nah, it doesn't look all that great imo.. anyway Hey Kevin, you gotta pic of that turbo Camaro, i think it was early 70's. Came up to sats once.. that car probably comes close to one of the hottest cars in richmond.

I think for the short time this car was in richmond, it probably took the prize:

barf... those ground effects and wheels are FUgly!!

sound systems, paint jobs as you mentioned are poor taste for a performance car. Thats not what we are talking about. Its suspension, wheels, performance, tastefull body mods if any, brakes.....this is what makes a car looker. But to each his own. It seems the majority of you find a turbo LS-1 built for straightline that basically looks like nothing if it were parked in a lot next to you to the hottest car in richmond....yeah its fast...but....
ahh nevermind

I get what you're sayin, and none of the cars posted in this thread would be considered "hot". Cool maybe but not the hottest.
