I dont get the look that I would assume I think my SC deserves, or at least I dont pay that much attention. I am thinking the wheels are not the favorite choice of many poeple, but that is soon to change. I dont see any boosted SC no where or SC period, in my area. Maybe one every two to three weeks.

Ever since my muffler fell off and I've been running straight pipe, I've been getting tons of looks. It's probably because my car sounds like a train rolling by.

I also get a ton of weird looks at the dealership. Every time I pull up I get a swarm of guys asking about the car.

Taken, I'm with you on chasing folks down to get their attention. I figure that SC owners should stick together, right?

Problem is, you get folks who just stare at you blankly. Like they don't see that both drivers have excellent taste. And when they do figure it out, either they ignore you or give a half assed wave.

Now if another SC driver gives me the nod, props back at him.

A week and a half ownership and plenty of curious eyes. Saw a kid touch my carbon fiber hood when I was about to exit the Lowes store waiting in the check out line peering out the windows to glance at my car.

As I drove past walmart a day ago, noticed a couple people who stopped walking to look.

On the highway, people who look over as they drive by. Or even drive up to match my speed to look then continue on.

I'm sure the sound of the exhaust starts it whenever I drove through somewhere. Then the car as a whole.

My first compliment was from a very, very elderly lady, wanting to buy it.

Second was a guy in a TL that followed me for a few miles, then finally asked me what I had done to it once he got next to me.

Then in the same night a guy in an Integra asked if it was boosted.

Then a guy in a silverado yelled; "Nice ricer, **ssy!

PS my SC400 is 100% stock except for exhaust
