Its cool that they have thier own site and KIA's are decent cars. We shouldn't act "g o d-like" just because we drive Hondas. However....

One guy, ironhive, claims to have killed the following:
Late model Honda Accord -- no visible mods
Late model Honda Civic -- muffler/air filter
2000 Grand Am GT (auto) -- no visible mods
'96 Mustang (auto) -- no visible mods
2000 Mustang (auto) -- no visible mods
2001 Celica GT -- no mods, uphill!!

Here's the specs on his 2000 Sephia LS.

Acceleration (0-60 mph): 9.8 sec.
Base Number of Cylinders: 4
Base Engine Size: 1.8 liters
Base Engine Type: Inline
Horsepower: 125 hp @ 6000 rpm
Torque: 108 ft-lbs. @ 4500 rpm
Weight: 2551 lbs

Now this is of course an "un-modded" KIA. Lets ignore the Hondas for the sake of an unbiased opinion.

2000 Grand Am GT
Base Number of Cylinders: 6
Base Engine Size: 3.4 liters
Base Engine Type: V6
Horsepower: 175 hp @ 5200 rpm
Torque: 205 ft-lbs. @ 4000 rpm
Weight: 3091 lbs

Nope. Sorry. Next....

1996 Mustang Base Model (no model so we'll use the cheap one)
Base Number of Cylinders: 6
Base Engine Size: 3.8 liters
Base Engine Type: V6
Horsepower: 150 hp @ 4000 rpm
Torque: 215 ft-lbs. @ 2750 rpm
Weight: 3077 lbs.

Nah. Still not happeing. Moving on....

2000 Mustang (once again a mystery model, so it sthe cheap one again)
Base Number of Cylinders: 6
Base Engine Size: 3.8 liters
Base Engine Type: V6
Horsepower: 190 hp @ 5250 rpm
Torque: 220 ft-lbs. @ 2750 rpm

Uhhhh NO. Still not happening. Next...

2001 Celica GT
Base Engine Size: 1.8 liters

Horsepower: 140 hp @ 6400 rpm
Torque: 125 ft-lbs. @ 4200 rpm
Turning Circle: 36.3 ft.

This is the only one I could see happening(sorry Toyota fans).

Now that I have vented about that guy, I guess I'll read the rest of the post.....
