Default thinking of getting an 11 gt.

i don't know where exactly i should post this but here goes, i currently have a 06 civic and am planning on getting the 11 gt in around 6 months or so when more incentives are available, but was wondering how the handling of these cars compares with what i am driving now. just an idea of what to expect. i have driven one so far but it wasn't long enough. it definitely felt much more front heavy.

Well, it is a much heavier vehicle up front, but it has the power to make up for it, obviously. Like cokeman said, it's really not even a comparison between the two...

Great vehicle to own, very fun to drive.

Definitely not a car I would want to be in during the winter time.

you will be way happier with the gt, if you dont like the feel of the car suspension wise the good thing about these cars are they are sooo customizable, and parts are way cheaper and easier to come by then ur civic

Hi, Buy the mustang and have the time of your life. You will need to save your civic for the winter. You can’t drive a mustang in the winter something is just wrong with that. Go down to a dealership (like mine) and ask to test drive a mustang than you will know what we are talking about. Good luck

i know i definitely want the grabber blue btw, but what exhaust system sounds the best on these cars? i want a true muscle car sound, but not getting a ticket sound. oh, i have driven one already, i looked to see which dealers around me had them, because i saw people on here posting how they were picking up their cars.
