91 acura integra or a 95 civic DX coupe?

[megadragoon]

Ok people, help me out here! I recently have decided to trade my 1994 s10 w/ wings west ground effects, borla exhaust on either of these 2 cars. These cars are a red '91 Integra LS hatchback with a 5spd and white face gauges, and a 1995 Civic DX coupe with a 5spd. The Civic because of some idiot has Walmart hubcap things on it(plastic!). There is also a dented area behind the driver's door. The Integra has little-no damage to the body, maybe a couple of scratches. The Integra has a sunroof on it. Both cars' interior are exquisite! NO STAINS WHATSOEVER! I know the Integra has like 130hp and the Civic has 102hp. I was wondering if the Integra, since it is like 300 lbs heavier than the Civic, will be faster than it? The prices: Integra 3850$ and the Civic 3650$. Which would you prefer and why?

IMO, it really depends on what you intend to do with the car, and what you want to spend.
They are both pretty slow cars stock. If your all show, i'd go with the 95 civic and fix it up nic, fix the dent, add a kit and get painted a color of your choise, throw on some rims, shocks, and springs, maybe a couple race seats, youve got a real looker.

If your into speed, i'd say get the civic and do a swap. Their are numerous choises, least expensive being 160hp b16a2 dohc vtec out of a del sol vtec or 140hp b18b dohc nonvtec out of integra ls/rs/gs.

More expensive being 170hp b18c out of GSR or h22 out of prelude, 200 hp, or b18 out of Integra type r, 195 hp.

If you like the integra better, you can always turbo it, add rims, tires, springs, shock, etc.,m etc, .

It's really all on you-what do you like? Personally, the G2 integra just looks to oldschool for me, i'd go with the civic. I just bought a 95 civic ex. 91 is pretty old ya know :apoke:
Heres a little comaprison, the Civic is an ex vtec though, that's all i could find, dx should be a little slower than these figures.
