Cough cough ferrari 360 spider cough exuse me ...

I dont really like the Ferrari 360 Spider. My favorite Ferrari is the Enzo (my favorite car period) but my sevond favorite car is the Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale. And I dont think Civics have potential. Compared to Skylines, Supras, RX7s, Evos.... they have very little potential. And they are HORRIBLE drag cars. There will never be a FWD to hit a 4 second 1/4. Unless you put tons of pounds on the front, and make the back weigh 02 pounds loool

Errr??? Who cares about goin that fast? Its only good for goin str8.

I think civics have LOTS of potential, just look at the size of the aftermarket products (okok, put aside the bodykits and stickers). They got suspension, brakes, turbos, nitrous, superchargers, and etc,... Just for them.

BTW, my favourite Ferrari is the 84' Testarossa

Yes but the smartest thing to do with a civic is sell it ....

or you could do an engine swap. The superchargers for civic usually do very little. by th way the 84's are nice but my overall favorite ferrari is the 333 sp, my #1 car of all the Mclaren lm~ (Gods gift to the automotive world) thats just my opinion.

For Civics superchargers arnt good. They can barley get enough traction to the ground, and with a supercharger, they would still be on 3rd gear trying to get it. A turbo is better for them because once you get traction the turbo kicks in and your gone. I agree, the best thing to do with a Civic is sell is.

The nsx anyway.

I have NO problem with Honda at all. I think its a great car company, with very good reliable cars that can hit high RPMs. The problem is Honda never made the Civic SI to be a drag car, so when people drag race them, they arnt gonna have the best times, which reflects on imports. When I watch TV they always have gay looken imports, like on commersials, TV-movies, shows, and movies. That reflects on imports, and when you have big tv companys trying to advertise something they have no idea about it makes us look bad. The worst thing is, they relate the Hip-Hop world, to the import world. Why?

Ok so what do you say if the person running 13s,12s,11s or 10s on there civic and its also daily driven? Its not made for a drag car yes but like i said those times are streetable. People run them to get an idea how fast it is and how much there mods and tuning made a difference. The funny thing is that the fastest car i've been into was a civic....

[lilslim]

How many street Civics run in the low 11s? Go to the Civic forums, and ask them what there times are. Most that tell you the truth will tell you there running in the 15s, 14s, and probably at most the 13s. Yea Civics can be modded to go in that time range, but can you imagine what a car that was MADE for the drag can do? They will KILL a Civic with less $$$ in there engine.

[mellowboy]

Look i don't give a shit about how many doesn't run 11's on this forum or any other forum.Maybe one forum i know for sure. You go to www.honda-tech.com and you'll see quite a few guys runnin 12s which is damn good. Either way,that still doesn't mean theres hardly any civic that runs 11's just because you don't see them on the forums. Theres ALOT of ppl running 11s with civics or integras.

Yes with less money in there engine but that doesn't mean anything. Example.Evo cost 30g's. IT takes 3500 dollars to make it run 11s which is awesome. But look at the civics. Usually ppl buy the lightest civics which is the 92-93 cx and vx model. They usually cost between 2000-3200 at the most. Now you can take that 30 grand and dump it but i bet you ANYTHING it still doesn't take 30g's to get it runnin 11s. My friend spent almost 13 grand INCLUDING the hatch itself and hes running 11s. Dont sit there and tell me modding a fuckin high powered stock cars cost less to make it run 11s when your not including the price of the car itself! For those civics running 13s and 12s gets much props from me and many others. Even though i dont own a honda anymore that doesn't change my respects for the ppl knows what they're doin. I'm still plannin to buy a 30g EVO and i'm plannin to keep it lightly modified. Basically i just want a NEW car and a fast stock car.The cars you talkin about are only good for goin straight. Whats the fun out of that?

[lilslim]

I'm not into drag racing, cause its boring, and doesnt take as much skill as other forms of racing. Evos are GREAT cars, and I cant wait fgor the day I get one. You dont have to spend $$ to make those cars fast. If I was to get one, I'll dp a couple, and I would keep it clean. What color do you want for it?

I want either white or red. Maybe blue. I think i'm gonna wait on the MR. If its coming out this year. If not this year then i will get the reg.evo8.

[lilslim]

The MR isnt comming out here. I dont know why, they released the Evo 8 here so they might as well bring the MR, but there not. I would get it in white, I think thats perfect on that car. You should try getting a JDM 6 speed transmissan.
