if you buy a civic thinking you'll make it fast your just kidding yourself. Fast is a relative term and in the world of civics you think your fast if you can hang with seddans. The jokes on you guys because those cars aren't even 'fast' in the big picture they're just faster then your civic will be.

Civic were never ment to be taken to the limits that they are being taken to today. Yes you can drop a better engine in a civic then its worth, and yes it will be faster then the 1.5 or 1.6L you have in there. But the reality is its still a civic and when you start running with the big boys who put out more tq then you do ponnies you'll realize you didn't come ready to win. Its sad to say 'honda doesn't own the road' anymore but they never did. They've made great cars and I love the car I drive, and just because I've walked on most people I've lined up with doesn't mean my RL is some amazing machine. It just happens to be one of the few motors they make that puts out a nice tq that ends up being more then its HP. So when I line up with a civic I walk on it because Im putting out more tq then his 1.6 DOHC with intake and exhaust.

When all your power comes from rev's it doesn't always make a fast car, you need more tq then your civics start with. Give it up, yes they might look good 'riced' but they aren't race cars, and they weren't ment to go fast. I'd take a mustang any day over a civic. Runs faster stock then 95% of moded civics and its rwd. Something you forget is that RWD is one of the most important things to making a car fast, FWD just doesn't cut it.

So have fun with your civics but dont forget its just a 'toy car' and lining up with cars of simliar displacement is all you should be doing. Leave the big boys alone and stop trying to tell us how great your civics are.
