That is true, but then you need to remind yourself why you bought a Civic. You got it because you wanted a reliable car - DSM's do not fit that description. BTW - one could put a greddy turbo (2k with Intercooler) on their Civic Ex and set the boost at 7psi - that would level the playing field (and the price range)between the civic and a turbo eclipse.

You could put a $2K on a civic, and boost at 7 psi. Youd probably be running Mid to high 14s if your a decent driver..

Now think about it from this perspective. If you bought a honda for reliability, you have just compromised the reliability by adding the turbo. You now probably have more reliability from a stock Turbocharged car.

A 1.8L VW motor can put out nearly 400Hp on stock internals. Try that with a Turbocharged Honda Civic on stock internals, it wont happened because they arent made for that.

Im not saying civics are bad, They arent.. Civics are decent little cars and do the job they are intended too. Like I said before, it all just depends on what you like and what you want to accomplish. If you dont mind spending a ton of money to make a stock NA car fast, cool..

The moral of the story is, instead of Bashing eachother's cars.. Why dont we try to evolve the sport together so we all can enjoy it.
