Give a reason why you wish your civic were faster for...

Cyclosporine · 12-23-2004

ok, how about we start giving reasons you wish your civic would be slightly faster other than racing...

I totally hate it when some a$$hole cuts me off on the freeway and I can't catch up to curse him until he hits traffic, or if I catch him, my SOHC engine is screaming so loud the jerk can't hear my vast vocabulary

I know the whole slow civic has been beaten to death, but there are just days that I can't stop thinking that: this civic is so f*cking SLOW

yea i wish my civic was faster...i mean it doesnt have to beat evo's but just keepin up with other cars would be nice. Maybe when im done with my 4 years in the military im gonna have some extra cash to swap the engine out.

I don't need my EL to be any faster for any reasons. Even if I'm cut off I just drop a gear, pull up alongside, and hurl garbage and insults. Unless the other driver is deliberately trying to get away from me, I can usually catch up anyway.

I just want an engine or FI for show and prestige points.

one word Si wait that two forget it

anyway the point is SI is that way to go in a civic

I would just want to get up to speed faster. I don't like giving it gas all the way and barely going or so it feels.

Faster=Funner Adrenaline......drug of choice

just buy a faster car. go get a rsx

dinglenuts · 12-23-2004

because the 7th gen looks so damn good, with a modest bodykit,rims and tint, it looks better and faster than a type s, just sucks when your driving it and constantly reminded that a sunfire can keep up with you.

Arith · 12-23-2004

I dont have a civic, but I use to have a base lancer 120hp/130trq and, it had a bunch of mods to it, but it still felt really slow... granted if a rsx-s, specv or srt4 cut me off, I just think in my head (if I was turbo, u'd get eatin right now), but than the thought stops and I just look and say "hell, atleast it was a nicer car"...

I hated getting cutoff by slower, uglier cars

just the name sunfire sounds gross..bleh. yea you are right..i love the lines of the vic. i don't think the rsx is all that bad either, but to each their own. the only other option would be an engine swap for significant gains, but that is hella spendy. the upside is you keep a car longer and take pride in ownership of your custom mods. probably get some cash winning at shows with it too. make it a new obsession

Base RSX's are slow as well. So I dont feel too bad when I whoop on a reg RSX. I havent raced a typs s. Always to busy of traffic to get my a** whooped. Ima get some nitrous though, so I can whoop on people talkin sh**. I hate my car being so slow. I drive my Dads Escalade, and that thing freakin pulls. Threw me back in my seat big time compared to the civic. I need my car like that.

manahoonie · 12-23-2004

i wish mine was faster so i would be able to maintain my speed going up my hill! i need to go up a long hill to get to my house, and i wish my car wouldn't go into overdrive all the time!!!

Yeah, getting thrown back in your seat... I don't give much of a hoot for top speed, I wouldn't mind if top speed was only 100km/h as long as I can do 0-60 in 3sec :P
