am-ricers are full of shit so bad! i'd rather own a nice civic anyway! have you seen all the different versions of mustangs now? its disgusting!!! the gt 500 (which i think they should have left that to be just Eleanor in the 60's) is the same as the KR and the premium GT! just with different decals.all the roush's and saleen mustangs have the same hp too so i dont get ford right now with their mustang division... oh well. as long as i have my civics im a happy driver oh yeh i will give ford props for their mustang super snake!
Aww come on now. That couldn't be further from the truth. The GT has a 4.6l 3v SOHC engine with a 5 speed and the GT500 has a 5.4l 4v DOHC supercharged engine with a 6 speed. Those are two completely different engines. Now the Premium GT is just cosmetic upgrades over the base GT. The KR is the GT500 with some more upgrades giving it about 40hp more. Theres also a shelby GT which is a GT with fords power and suspension upgrade packages.
Then theres all the aftermarket tuners like roush, saleen, etc. Those are not ford divisions, they are independent companies. The roush stage 1 (im not sure about saleen but i think they have similar stages) is basically a full body kit, the stage 2 is suspension upgrades, and stage 3 includes a supercharger.
There are tooons of other special editions with different things done to them, including one built by the air force, but anything other than these are basically collectors editions. They do have some good power or suspensions but they cost so much only collectors will buy them.

All of which lose to a lightly tuned 4wd boosted 4 cylinder.

lol i was up in seattle and a yellow nsx pulled up to me. We both had our windows down so I blasted the radio and revved hard and the guy just laughed and did the same. He smoked me on the green light but I didnt move and just watched him speed off into the night it was pretty funny
I have the EX coupe and I noticed that we get all the wrong attention sometimes. I was going 130(kms) and I passed a guy with a souped up but nice mustang in the slow lane. Right away he got his passanger to roll down the window, when i proceeded to raise my arms in question. I just don't understand why people want to race civics, we never claimed to be fast!!!
i never said my civic was fast, fuck stick. you want fast ill go warm up my R6 and let your domestic piece of shit pick my rubber out its grille.
i dont "put parts" on my civic for performance. the most performance i got on my vic is i/h/e and thats mostly for sight and sound. i "put parts" on it to make it more sexy and because i love working on my car. my vic is an auto and wont gain much without a tranny swap anyway, so theres no point in building the motor.
dont get me wrong, i love a muscle car too, but what i dont love is you domestic fukkers thinking your better than imports simply bc you have more cylinders. ive seen civics smoke domestics all day long and save gas doing it. so fuck you, fuck off and GTFO!

Reason: sorry for my language admins. and mods.
In the first two days of getting my civic I had 5 people try to race me...prob cause I was enjoying driving a manual for the first time so I was driving pretty stupidly but still.
Preety much the same way with me. lol

whenever im driving the civic, i get drivers wanting to race. but when i bring out the sleeper integra, no one challenges me. of course my civic is my main commuter so being picked on just plain sucks.
Well sinds i got my track license and drive my civic there i drive normal on the streets and
laugh at guys who want to drag with more horses. Everyone can do that!

definitions of "domestic rice" from urbandictonary.com Domestic Rice
An American automobile that has been modified in the same cosmetic style as import vehicles, with a preference for appearance over performance. This includes:
* outlandish bodykits
* bright, gaudy paint
* Altezza style tail lights
* questionable, false or illogical badging
* use of aesthetic parts from a superior vehicle (eg V6 Mustang with Mustang GT bumpers)
* use of potential performance items for aesthetic reasons (hood scoops, cowl induction only glued to the top of the hood)

So is it like Rodeo Sex? You know, where you’re with a girl from behind and then you whisper in her ear that her sister’s boobs feel firmer and have to hold on for more than 8 seconds.
oh yeh i will give ford props for their mustang super snake!
