Here's a quote:

"Everyone's trading Camaros for Civics because you get major horsepower with minor engine work," says 23-year-old Dustin Worles. Translation: It's easier to hop up a Mazda than a Mustang-and you get the extra juice of blowing away, say, a loaded muscle mobile with a cheerleader's Civic. Ali's four-cylinder VW has readily whupped ass on six-cylinder turbos -and nearly taken out a supercharged Mustang V-8. "[That guy] had to hit his nitrous to beat me," Ali says.

...and it goes on. I would like to hear everyone's opinion on this article.
So wait....."everyone's trading Camaros for Civics because you get major horsepower with minor engine work"? Excuse me, but it was my understanding that you have to put MORE money into a civic than a camaro to get it to go faster, no? What tha fuck does this sentence mean? Also, his "VW" almost took out a Supercharged 'stang WITH nitrous?
So in other words his VW kept up with a nitrous-fed, blown, V-8? Somebody please correct me if i'm wrong.
