We're talking about respecting a car in a race. That's it.
If you think that just because a car has a loud muffler, somehow its not worth your time and beneth you, you're going to get embarrassed.
MontanaSRT was talking like it was a waste of gas to race a gutted Civic with 200hp. DO THE MATH, that's 1/2 the weight of our cars with LESS than half of the HP.
The reason the thread starter was surprised that the Civic lost was because it probably beats asses on a regular basis.
You'll also probably see a couple of Camaro's and a couple of Mustang GT's. What does that mean?
As for your girlfriend owning one....go look at your average Crossfire owner...are you dillusional?
What's next, are we going to debate RESALE VALUE?
Okay, calm down chief. I don't go to tracks and race, I'll mess around just driving to and fro. I'm not putting down your civic, or whatever reason your taking such offense to me not wanting one. I'm never going to be a serious performance modder. If I was, it wouldn't be a civic though. I like the way the crossfire LOOKS... It just so happens my SRT his friggin fun to drive. The civic ,, looks like , a car(I dunno).
Who am I to judge, you are correct. It's just one delirious opinion. Maybe if I was 18 and wanted to drift around a parking lot I would feel different. Maybe you can star in "4 fast 4 Furious-Civics are cool"
