SO...I just almost got smoked by a Civic.

Yes, you heard it...a Honda Civic...........on the HIGHWAY. 2 Door hatch, with 3 people in it. I let off a little bit to let him catch up around 120ish, but I think if I would have let get a jump, it would have taken me a few seconds to pass him.

I use to be into Hondas and had a WRX...they were quick....not fast. This thing, was FAST. I didn't notice a blow off valve or a front mount- so this thing MAY have been all motor. We went for a while, so I doubt he was spraying the whole time.

Anyway- blue 92-95 Civic hatch...look out for em.

Your worst nightmare...
I know a few that have heavy motor work and they are quick with a few grand. no surprise there. They weight less than a feather and most of them put out around 300+ HP

Why did you hate the Evo? I've considered picking one up several times now.

As a goof the NYC crew should all pool together and build the most outlandish rice rocket we can think of. Take an old CRX, zip tie a primer'd Erebuni kit on to it, strip out the interior and drop a crazy VTEC motor into it. It would probably cost us $300 apiece, and we can rotate who gets to drive the damn thing.

Best bang for the buck on the planet is a used EVO or WRX. Write a few checks ($10-15K) and you have a high 10 second car that will wax pretty much anything on the road (especially from the stoplights) and put down 500+ HP.

The silver one in the picture above looks sweet!

back then i hated the awd.. but looking at that car day.. since the body was stock, ect.. got really tired of the styling and the interior looked soo cheap, unlike my e55, i can stand there and stare at it all day
