And you know why no dig. It's spinning 5th gear on r888s. Obviously its no 1/4 mile machine but you don't go to tx2k to race from a dig.

Anything can be made quick. Credit given to this car and it's owner. Local guy has one making 550whp and runs 11.4@124 on factory street tires and 10.4@134 on slicks. But he goes through trannies and axles like on a schedule! And his is gutted also.

And I have to agree with the Supra quote, haha. I've heard, "With a Supra, at the track, they either run 9s or 14s. But they all run 9s from a roll."

Hio those "pos" cars are more reliable and get better gas mileage than your car in stock form so I wouldn't call them a "pos".

If you can't give a car or driver credit because he drives a certain type of car, you are a douche, plain and simple. I'm far from a fan of civics too.

I call the civic a big flameing heap o'****. If someone give me one and told me I had to drive it for a year I would go by my own car. The mileage is'nt that great for there pitifull power in stock form. They would have 1/3 or less power and cant even get double the mileage, I get 20-22 in town and 27plus on the highway now. In 110,000 miles the only thing that has went bad on my car is the dr side window motor, all the other stuff would be directly related to me beating on it. In our local trader there is always atleast one civic needing a h/g or trans or other crap. For a car with no power I expect them to be better....then you have have to ride in them and that's irritating at best.

I'll be a douche as long as no one makes me ride in a civic ever again.

Jeez i can imagine how much raging you'd do after getting walked by one LOL. Your logic is really fucked up. Your crazy my civic had 143,000 miles and it only took an oil change every so often and gas. Me pesrsonally ive owned 5 before my last one. All of them got beat on daily and only needed gas to continue the torture. You will always have beat to **** cars because owners do no take care of them. You've obviously never owned a civic, they are the most reliable cars. Your just a close minded person who has a serious hate for civics. The generic domestic car owning guy. My buddies old turbo stock motor gsr used to get 38mpg around town on E85...Car made 450whp and was in a chassis that weighed 2600lbs with driver.

It's all good though, owning a quick civic wouldn't be as fun without people like you.
