Boys to Men - Cars of the Super Street Staff

It's been a yearly tradition for us to dust off our own personal rides for your viewing pleasure, but a lot's changed since the last installment of the Super Street Bucket Brigade. Some staff members have left and other projects have been completed, leaving room for those that need to be finished as well as the newest toys that we've just gotten started on. With a handful of SR20-powered 240s, super cars like the NSX and R33 GT-R and our latest ventures being the Civic Si sedan and a Super Lap Battle-prepped STI, you can bet that we'll be hard at work this winter to show you that we can rock our own toys as hard as the cars we feature on a monthly basis. That is, as long as we can keep the batteries from draining out.

Impression It's safe to say I've had my fun with the IS. It's a great RWD car that proves to handle extremely well, even more so after adding in an aftermarket coilover suspension and a set of stickier tires. So why give it up? I need something sexier!

Impression Things shouldn't have turned out this way, but the 2Fizzle is in dire need of attention and a new battery. I've yet to finish its final tune, but I did manage to add onto the suspension with a Nismo Power Brace and Battle Version rear upper control arms. Will the 2Fizzle ever make it onto the track? fingers are crossed!

Impression Still haven't banked on any M5s, but that's probably because I never have time to drive it. Anyone want to rent a six-car garage out to me? Thanks.
