yes i race civics... legally of course . they are very easy as long as the don't have swapped engines or turbo's. i just beat a 98 civic with mods, with my stock 92 GS. anyway, good luck... tell your friend he should look into the car before saying untrue things.

the best way to get respect is to beat him on the track.

seconded.

ok nevermind the post above....u must have been talking about some other car having 160hp. right?

no, the simple fact that the VAST majority of 3000GTs are NOT VR-4s....they are the stupid slow models that also happen to be the heaviest FWD cars.

So then maybe we can beat them. Cool

i have a 4 cyl 1.6 and i smoke civic like nothing dude

In the 1/4 mile race more TQ usually means winner. It would kick the s--- out of a stock GS MX-3, base model or not. Sorry guyz

VW TDIs can be modded to almost 300lbs/ft. with maybe only 150hp but they still run the quarter in 15 seconds.they just spank everyone in the 1/8 mile!<P>
