I was thinkin about gettin a civic at firrst ESPECIALLY since its slow. To me part of racing is taking a slow ass piece of crap and turning that 160 hp to a turbocharged 8 sec machine. If you go and buy a fast car, lets say a ferrari, it is fast as hell when its stock. Does that mean you kno alot about cars or your a good racer? no, because some rich snob can get the same car and still be fast. But taking a lil piece of crap and makin it fast takes skill and knowledge. Thats real racing to me.
I don't think it works like that.Sure taking a slow car and turning it fast is kool, but think about it for a second.People with money make civics fast, does that mean they are good drivers in any sense, no.It's the people that race other cars of equal power and pull ahead of them by using knowledge of how to take corners at high speeds and hit the apex at the right speed to pull out of the corner at incredible speeds.Thats what real racing is about.Not turning slow cars fast, but knowing how to drive any car to the point of it's limitation and trying to push it beyond.Any dope with money can make civics fast, but a real racer can show the true potential a family coupe has.
