I took my 4000-lb (with me in it and a full tank) HEAVY-@SS convertible Trans-Am to the track with simple mods (air intake, exhaust) and ran 13.68 @ 103. No NAAAAAAAAAAAWS. Stock plus intake/exhaust in a heavy convertible with a rollbar in it.

Hey, high 13s is fast for a Civic, but it's "something is wrong with my car" territory for f-bodys and corvettes.

Ha ha, i like the something wrong with my car part... so true! I think the import crowd sticks to their own and only really compete against each other. They swap small engines for small engines and "race" the other civic down the street. They both get bug eyed and drool when the guy with the '69 camaro w/ a rat rolls by but then they go back to "racing" eachother.
