HUmmm, that would be 2001.....Honda Accord.....I do belive it was
Alamo.............but can't be sure about that.......I was rather amazed
that they offered Hondas. But I guess that's what they mean by "or similar"

Hate to bust your bubble, ph3w1, but I know a guy who juiced up his "wimpy"
4-cylinder Honda Civic to where it was putting out 300hp AT THE WHEELS!
Last time I checked, a 1998 Camaro Z28 only had about 285-300hp, AT THE
ENGINE. Then, you factor in the HUGE difference of the power-to-weight
ratio, and I'm sure that 300hp Civic could dust any Camaro, anytime, any
place. Also, as noted by another poster in this NG, Camaros are NOT known
for their reliability. They tend to fall apart around 80,000 miles, if not
less. My 1990 Civic has 190,000 miles, purrs like a kitten, uses almost no
oil, and is still going strong, even though I drive it very aggressively.
I've never seen, or even heard of a Camaro reaching that many miles without
having to have a complete overhaul on virtually all major parts, even under
NORMAL driving conditions. (Engine, transmission, clutch, etc.) I'm sure
you and everyone knows what FORD stands for (Fixed Or Repaired Daily; Found
On Road Dead, etc) but let me tell you what CHEVROLET stands for:

Cracked Head Every Valve Rattles Oil Leaks Every Time

If you want a REAL race car, buy an Acura NSX and witness the
awesome power of Honda muscle...that is, if you can afford it after wasting
all your money on trying to keep your precious piece-o-crap Camaro from
falling apart.

An Acura NSX possesses a 3.2L V6 that pumps out 290hp WITHOUT turbo or
supercharging. Has Chevy ever done that with a V6? NOPE. Why? Because
their engines SUCK @$$ compared to Honda's engines.

Do yourself a favor and get lost while your Camaro still actually runs...

You might as well say, "LONG LIVE THE TERMINALLY ILL" Both statements are
complete oxymorons.

Provided one can keep it on the road.

I'm betting against that, frankly.

Well, he did have a problem with axles literally exploding. The clutch and
tranny were heavy-duty enough to take it, but he couldn't find any axles
that could take the punishment. ;-)

I would also like to say, what does a Dodge Viper have to do with
anything? I am referring to a Honda vs. a Camaro (of any model- stock or
not.) About the term "rice car" being "racist-" I ask you to remember,
that racism generally refers to the races (as in black and white- just
in case, you didn't know)- not to vehicles.

we are all members of the human race and we better damn well start treating
each other as such or this whole gig's gonna go up in smoke yielding yet
another victory for the shadow people.

....sounds like something W could put into his new song "highway to baghdad"
by GB/DC sung to the tune "highway to hell" by AC/DC.
