1.5L=BAD, not many parts available
If i were you, figure out what types of mods you want to do for power. If you just want to do BPU or BPU+ upgrades and leave it at that, then you can just go with a civic with a d-series engine (i think most or all of them are vtec). Or if you want big power you can swap in an engine (in this case, buy the 1.5L civic cheap, find an engine, and switcharoo). Afterwhich, you can leave stock, all motor, or turbo/supercharger/nitrous. Bottom line is it's not going to be close to the camaro. BUT it is possible to make big power and still have descent gas mileage.
