Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.

Amusingly enough my first reaction was "wow look at how meaty those tires are"

Ill always have a soft spot in my heart for these little beasts but 780!? Good lord. This car cannot be drivable.

Frankly, that hood scoop / intake / ram jet just ruins the classic lines of the Cobra. No doubt the performance is insane, but I still say FAIL.

Yup. Skinnies up front and giant slicks out the back. It's lost any semblance of the original. Instead of a 12.9, try a 6.4 with a turbo up front, and we're talking.
