Default Mustang GT vs Civic

Raced a 1992-95 Civic turbocharged from a 40mph roll. By 80 I got him by 2 cars in front but from there to 130 we stayed the same. I was in front by 2 cars. Those little civic's are fast IMO.

I've never had a turbo civic keep that close to me..but then again it's obvious that one has to be modded more..

Umm. A Yugo can be fast if you stick a turbo setup in it and turn up the boost high enough. Just don't ask how long said Yugo will last. Sure, there are plenty of built up fast 4 bangers, but those engines weren't designed for such sustained high power applications. They inevitably break, which is why 4 banger tuners always have so many extra engines and engine parts lying around. Personally, I don't see the point. If you want to go faster, why handicap yourself with something with so few cylinders that can't make much torque? At least START with a V8.........hell, ANY V8 is a better base performance platform to start with than a 4 banger.

Yeah if you put a turbo and pretty much anything, it's going to be fast. The power to weight ratio just kills us

I've never been much on Civic's but the Old School Corolla's with 3tc's and Mazda's with Rotarys are nothing to disregard. I had a RX-4 that would take my 05 to the Cleaners and my friend has a Corolla that runs mid 10s and he drives the damn thing every day to work. So Civic's yeah, girl car. But there are some serious 4 bangers out there so I'm always cautious of when one of them picks a fight with me.
