I've been checking this site everayday for almost 5 months and now i finally became a member. I've heard a lot of people saying that our cars are slow. I will be getting my 1st car this summer. Can someone please tell me what imports/domestics our cars can beat with ease. Also what's our biggest competition?

there aren't many cars we can beat with ease, most will require a bit of skill
competition in the price range includes
ford focus
toyota corolla
chevy(toyota) cavalier
mazda 3
hyundai tiburon
v6 mustang
etc...i am sure other members will provide you with other things
pretty much the civic is one of the slowest cars in it's class, Civic isn't known for speed, it's known for it's excellent fuel economy and practicallity, if your looking to beat other cars right from the lot, stay away from the civic, especially with these 7th gens, the aftermarket isn't very big for them right now and it's hard to find good parts to make them really fast, the 4th 5th and 6th generation civics are a different story, aftermarket goodies are there for the picking for these cars. Right now the best things for th 7th gen seem to be a K20 swap (RSX TYPE S engine swap) and a custom built turbo, all will cost alot.

Dont forget nitrous oxide!!! [IMG]i/expressions/demon.gif[/IMG]
what about 3rd gen (the latest model) 4 cyl. eclipse? i know the V6 models are pretty quick but i'm not sure aobut the 4 cyl.
you can beat other stock civics with big chrome rims and definatly the V6 mustangs, integra gs? (if the civic is lightly modded), and the honda oddesy.

Oddessy run 14's [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]
I've seen an oddesey run 16.1 in the 1/4 mile, there pretty quick for that type of vehicle but not that quick. They are faster then the civics though [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/IMG],
A civic will have to have at least I/H/E to be compared with any 3rd generation integra. Stock Hp for the civic 127, integra base model 142, you'll need at least 15 HP to compete, so I/h/e, generally, will be enough to get there.
please disregard the comments about beating a v6 mustang...its not gonna happen. Especially if your car is stock, and the comment about the v6 camaro..im just going to assume that was a joke.
