Civics are not sports cars and there are a lot of people out there that think they are. They are Econoboxes, not powerhouses. that is what make the times that they are getting to even more impressive than what the V8's are getting

That guy can take you and he is running the stock bottom end. The car is full interior and full street trim. He isn't even the fastest street driven supra around either. There is another guy that runs 9.5's in street trim..... |

Well, the Mustang is one of Ford's fastest production cars. And since most big block V8s have a lot more untapped potential than 4 cylinders, theres no real comparison. Its like comparing the Ford Focus to a Nissan Silvia S15.
And another thing, Japanese cars are way better at Autocross than they are at Drag Racing. It's just the way that they are built. Sure your Mustang outclasses almost every Japanese car out on the drag strip good for you. Just be prepared to eat your words whenever you learn to drive something besides a straight line, and take your Mustang out to go Autocrossing.

Darkness:
Just to correct you on a few things. The Mustang doesn't have a "big block V8" like you said. It's actually a "small block" technically. Secondly, I'll take ONE of my cars out on the roadcourse. I bet it would fair very well against almost any import (aside from the major exotics). As it sits now, it could rival a Porsche on a road course. I can also bring out ONE of my cars to the drag strip and rip off an easy 11 sec. pass ON MOTOR and drive it home with full interior, regular old PUMP GAS (none of that "race gas" stuff supras like) and have my stereo blastin'....

Going fast with no gas
Maybe my car won't go 9's or 10's but that don't meean it's slow.
Last time I went to the track I ran a 1.7 sec 60ft. Left home with 4 gallons of Texaco unleaded hi-test in the tank ran several high 12's and drove home. The motor and trans cost me $500-600 to build and I have less than $2000 in the car. (Not a beauty contest winner either) I race at Cecil County Dragway, Friday night heads up racing with everybody! I don't win every race, I probably win 80% though. What does this say for all the v-8 guys. They need help just like the slower imports. I was even having big fun when I was running 14's! Listen, the important part is this: You don't need to be #1 all the time, I'm having just as much fun as anyone at the track! Go ahead, flame away! Robert |

it's as simple as this:
domestic owners/enthusiasts compare their fastest cars, to our slower imports. the civic was intended to be a car to just get in, drive to the store, pick up the kids and do it without using a lot of gas. now you can't tell me a mustang or camaro was designed for the same thing. so to me, it is an accomplishment to see an import that was intended to be slow, move fast in a race. think about this: civic vs focus or escort that is more along the lines of being fair. so now move up a bit to say.. a prelude (if we're going to stay in honda) or of course the supra's and rx7's who have a better match to the fast domestics because they are meant to be sportier then the other cars made in those companies. so basically what i'm saing is, stop with the damn rice wars. yea there may be a bunch of 'rice' looking cars on the road, but most imports are cheap and their the mainstream thing you hear about. so all the little kids who got their licence/car after fast and furious make their uneducated attepts to copy the movie. i agree i see a lot of BULLSHIT imports on the road as you say. but i myself keep it clean, and i don't claim to have a fast car. and i've never even been to the strip myself. but i have one thing a lot of people don't have. respect. don't clown an entire nation of cars because people make SOME look gay, or they're SLOW. i respect domestics just as i respect imports. when i see a nice car from either class... i respect it when respect is due. i dont hate all domestics, i don't love all imports. i'll stop rambling in hopes that some of you understand the point i'm trying to make. there's no need to add fuel to an argument.
