I hope they catch the sick son of a b!tch that did this.

The "sick son of a b!tch" was the #1 installer in the US. That's a pure show car meant only to display Alpine's mobile audio and video products. Don't hate it just because it's a show car.

All in all, Alpine spent over a quarter of a million dollars on this Civic. That includes all the R&D, labor, parts, and the stock vehicle price itself. That's $250,000 for those of you who are counting. On top of that, the company received a whole hell of a lot of free gear from sponsors, which doesn't factor in to the expense equation. Even for a successful audio company, that's a lot of cash. But why is the company so spendy? One simple reason: Alpine wanted to prove its skills. And when you have mad skills to prove, you build a car that everyone is going to notice, like it or not.

There's something missing. And you are correct. The motor is, well, stock despite the AEM cold-air intake and spark plug wires. The reason? Well, as Steve illustrates, "We filled the gas tank when we bought the car. We'll probably never fill it again. It's a concept car." Which means that, yes, it's a trailer queen. But before you start railing about how lame that is, just think about how you'd feel if you spent a quarter of a million dollars on a concept car. Would you take it to Blockbuster to pick up a copy of Lilo & Stitch? Well, if you did, you shouldn't expect to find it when you get back to the parking lot. Oh, why are we talking about this anyway? Do you have $250,000 to spend? Well, then you should take us out to lunch, because we're really tired of eating crackers and vinaigrette salad dressing from the 99c store. Besides, a concept car is a concept car. It's built to show off Alpine's best. And you can't say it's not excelling at its job.
