There's no doubt some civics can run sub 10's. Just that most of them are not door slammers.

Aright, bottom line, you wanna race RX-7's, vettes, Supra's, Skylines? then you should get an RX-7, Vette, Supra or skyline. If you want a fast car (not drag racer) for cheap? then get a 1994 Eagle Talon tsi. For what reasons?

1) It's cheap
2) it's insanely fast for a 4 banger
3) the tsi is all wheel drive, so added traction
4) it's stock turbo charged, and with slight modding can handle 30 lbs of boost if you want.

The VR4 is a sweet ride. I never drove one in real life, but I owned one in Gran Turismo 3 and it was the shiz.

if you can find a 3rd gen rx-7 for a good price, it's probaly gonna ned a ass load of maintenance on it. the turbo ones are prone to overheating and the vacuum hose for the turbos tend to get dry rotted and you have problems with boost. don't get me wrong i would love to have one, just one that has been babied and taken well care of is gonna be at least 15k to 20k. i wouldn't want a 3000gt vr4 yeah twin turbos and awd are great, but that car needs a serious diet.
