From a dig you should be able to take him only if you have traction if not well you know the out come. From a roll it would be a drivers race. It will be a good run though go out there and take the challenge, have fun and be careful. AS for the GTP from a dig you should get him good from a roll ?? hard to say. Good luck!

I can beat a civic with my dads Stock dodge pickup, you should take him easy. As far as the grand prix, its gonna be close quick lil cars but heavy.

You'll beat the snot out of that civic; STOCK you would beat the snot out of it... Dont even bother its not worth the wear on your car...

Don't be to cofindent about that SI they run mid to low 15's and can be in the 14's with cold air and exhaust. Driver also depends. But it's a street race so anything goes.

No im not a blind "all forein cars are slow" guy but lets get real guys that Civic will fall on its face off the line and once the mustang gets that lead on it theres not going to me much hope...

Civics lack what all High output 4 cylinders lack... torque and low rpm power...

And without a huge turbo to launch with or rely on to gain with he isnt going to stand a chance...

But you do have to know how to drive right so he could still win if you burn the wheels through first and second...













That is until the civic blows up at 7000 rpm...[sm=badbadbad.gif] [sm=badbadbad.gif]
