Illegal machine, I understand where your coming from, but you are not going to sway anybody into caring if a civic with a loud muffler pulls up to them and wants to race. ITS NOT WORTH THE GAS! If I'm going to risk getting caught it sure isn't going to be against a civic. They are a dime a dozen and 90% of them couldn't break into the 14's on a good day with a 100 mph tail wind on the salt flats with a five man push start. Now if I knew for a fact they had a highly modded car and they were talking junk, I would race them. For the most part tho, they are a waist of gas. Pull up to me in my corolla and I might givem a go.
