Congrats. We all now have aluminum bodys...

as per Import Tuner

Import Ricer has a cheap little spin-off mag that I forgot it's name. Anyways, I was flipping through it in the store and came across a dyno session they had.

The article wen't something like this "The 3rd generation is one of the best handling cars. Its lightweight is due to its aluminum body.... blaa blaa blaa"

We guys, I'm glad we finally have an aluminum body.
So our cars now weigh what.......2300lbs?

Mazda did make an RX-7 AL concept car that was all aluminum though.. of course the odds that a ricer magazine would knonw that is slim to none.

the best part of ricer mags is they stress audio and entertainment modifications over actual performance. The stereo mods will span an entire page and then at the end it might say 'And i have a cold air intake for performance'

A kid that lives down the street LIVES by those magazines. Drives a...you guessed it, HONDUH. Nice kid, but I want to shake him! I watched him spend an entire day installing under body lights. He thought they really set off his car. Ugggg!

Ricers are the best, aren't they? We can always rely on them to be right behind us in a race
