Two decades ago, one couldn't utter the words "front-wheel drive" and "sport coupe" without generating a few snickers from the auto snobs.[/align][align=center][/align][align=center]
There was some justification for these chuckles. Back then, coupes like the one Honda built on the Accord platform were simply line extenders-two-door variants of monster-selling family sedans. Sure, with an added wing, upsized 15-inch alloys, and a five-speed manual transmission, they appeared a bit sportier. But with a maximum of only 120 horsepower available from the "big-block" 2.0-liter four-cylinder, the Honda Accord Coupe was clearly more poseur than racer. A peppy alternative to the family sedan? Absolutely. But a real sport coupe? Never in a million years.[/align][align=center][/align][align=center][/align][align=center][/align][align=center]
Well, make that 20.[/align][align=center][/align][align=center]

My monte wont beat them in a race but defineatly beats them in being rare.
I see 4561315135 eclipse's a day

 

AMEN! and i've beat stock eclipse's at stoplights several times. i dunno if it's that they can't drive or i'm getting the jump on em.

 

I couldn't beat them, but they also have 50-70 more hp then mine, however, when it comes to looks and "rareity" (if thats a word), I know who the real winner is

 

My Monte(s) may not beat one in a straight line race, but it beats the pants off any of them in: looks, styling, appeal, and as so many have pointed out numbers made.

They aren't making them any more guys n gals. [sm=boosign.gif]

 

well let me get my turbo in (thats if i ever get my money from my loans) and then ill have a go at them but i have a feelin ill need an hd tranny real soon
