honda versus mustang
ok here is my problem. i have a 2000 civic hx(slow i know but keep reading). i bought the hx knowing that it is the slowest civic out there with vtec. because i knew that i was going to put in the b18 from gsr. but the problem is that i have gotten a new job that pays a hell of a lot more than what i was making. so now i can afford a much nicer car like a mustang. i was just wondering should i keep the car that i have now or should i go and trade it in on a mustang gt(or if i wait a little while and save for like another year i can afford the cobra). or should i get some other car that has high horsepower but is better than the mustang. as far as handling, horsepower and torque.

a much nicer car? mustang? nicer? ....right.
and if by nice, you mean "extremely generic sports car" if you want to buy something else, want nice, look into a subaru WRX, or a twin turbo RX-7. assuming you just want factory power to begin with...otherwise, keep the civic, drop a turboed b16b in it, and be happy roasting mustangs all day long. if i was to get *ANY* mustang, it'd be a saleen. and it'd take a LOT to convince me not to get a 240sx or something and build the shit outta it.

Try an LT1(1993-1997) Camaro Z28 or SS. WAAAY faster, cooler, nicer and attractive than ANY Mustang out there! That's what I have, and I can guarantee you that you won't find another relatively new(new = 1990+) vehicle out there that's a better value with more potential, support, or performance options at low prices.

I'd buy a Vett, but it has to be an old school one that looked like the older 280z's. and has the small round tail lights with the little chrome accent's.

Personally I don't like many American cars (Ford, GM, Mercury) the looks are exciting to me.
My picks: Subaru WRX Subaru WRX STi (available 2003) Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VII Acrua RSX Type S Lexus IS300 BMW 330Ci 2000 or 1998 Integra Type R Builder cars: 240SX SR20ET Civic hatchback with B18C & add LSD your civic with B18C & add LSD Mazda Miata with a JRSC

IMO i'd much rather have a builder car. i don't have much money and this is why my car is in a pause. but if you have the funds, and want to feel good about your self - get a builder car. something that is an accomplishment. such as a 70hp civic cx hatch. throw a decent motor in there, build the motor, turbo, some wild body work. and bam. you got a quick ass show car.
if i bought a car that had a lot of power and good looks stock, it'd just be to have fun with. i'd much rather make a car faster myself. and be proud to build something. oh.. and mustang = NO keep it import.

IMO opinion I'd go with a mid 90's RX7 Turbo or same Year Toyota Supra Turbo....those are my two dream cars which currently are out of my reach (high insurance rates)

If I were you I'd get an M3, or if you can't afford it get a 330ci.
Whatever you do, keep the civic if you can as a builder car. Keep it to play with and learn on. Do what you want with it a little at a time, with the knowledge that you have a bimmer to drive away in at any given moment. Just my .02 |

I say WRX or Supra TT. Supra TT has more hp than a cobra and looks a helluva lot better imo.
