    I know Im beating a dead horse, and its not a Camaro, but its an example. A rusted, rolling chassis without an engine or a body of a 1969 Charger would run you around $14,000. Just trying to inform.

      I hope that you're claiming that's an R/T 440 or a Hemi car, with a bunch of the original options still intact (tic toc tac, etc) You could get one cheaper if you searched. I could see paying 14K for a rust free example, but not a rusted one. Most people won't even touch one with a lot of rust in the trunk.

      If you were talking about a Charger Daytona or a Superbird...maybe.

      I'd say you'd pay about a third of that for a rusted example.

        well for now i think a V8 muscle car of my dreams will have to wait for now. I will eventually build one. I have a 50 chevy pickup i may start to restore some but mostly i will wait till later in life. I like this too much right now. I know you can run way faster with a v8 my buddy has a 95 firebird that can whoop ass on corvette's and it pisses me off cause he a bitch when he drive it. all slow and shit. it is a kick ass bird

            update to who ever. I found an 03 AV6 5spd loaded with navi. I want it but I am not sure if I can afford it right now. I just went to see a '00 accord coupe 4cyl ULEV 5 spd. Is there a big difference in the ULEV and regular accord? It is black, gray leather interior, woodgrain accents, and very very good condition with the exception of the rims haveing curb damage. The CB7 is sitting and has not moved nor started in a few weeks now. If i end up getting this car in the next few days mine will be for sale. I am thinking of getting this car and using it for a few years and hopefully by then i will be able to get teh AV6 I want. So that is all for now.

              Did they make a 5 speed V6? I thought the 04 6 speed was the first with a manual transmission... I dunno though.

              I would still stick with the CB7. The newer Honadas just don't seem to have the personality that he CB7 has! When I drive ANY newer car, I feel like I'm so far from the road, and so disconnected from the machine. The CB7 has a more welcoming feel to it.

                  I love my CB7 and it is great I too feel the same way but when i first bought the CB7 i got it cause i just needed a car. I grew into tuning it and making it nicer and everything it just came later. If I new what I knew now back then I would probly not have gotten this car. I want the 5 speed and the conversion and everything is not effective right now. I did want to keep it to make it a project car but I have no room to put it. I feel very loyal to this car and just want an boosted h22 in it. I hate this decision. I new it would come sooner or later and especially the way I am about cars weighing each decision good and bad just everything. I can find anything wrong and anything good. I just don't know.

                            anyone with info on racing a 2000 ULEV motor? It seems a bit weeker but it is still nice a clean. It will last me a long time too if I get it which seems likley.

                              The ULEV would be good, but certainly not performance oriented. If you're looking for an H22 or something else in it's place, getting a newer ULEV Accord isn't going to satisfy you!

                              If you don't get the H22, I would suggest looking into the last model Acura Legend (before it became the RL). I believe they made them with 6 speed manual transmissions, and the V6 motors made some nice power. Plus, they look hot as hell! Heavy cars, but a great blend of sport and luxury!

                                my dad had a 95 legend, it was a really really nice car. got stolen and totalled tho. black with cream leather . . . was an auto but hey i drove it a couple times and it was a hell of alot faster than my accord is now. if that thing had a manual tranny i think i would have wanted to drive it alot more. now he has a 3000gt (not a vr4 dont ask he didnt want turbos for some reason) and thats a fuckin fast car even with a NA engine and FWD . . . o yea thats a 5spd
