I think stock 7th gen civics can beat the Focus with base engine, lancer SOHC, insight, prius, accent, spectra, rio, vitara 4 cyl, caravan 4 cyl, sonata 4 cyl, santa fe 4 cyl.

last time i checked civics were commuter cars, therefore i doubt they would be able to smoke anything. If you want a faster car go with a WRX base or S2000 because our Civics are slower then my grandmas powered wheel chair

your auto (which car) can run 11's... u didn't say that u said "my auto car", and with my aem sri, dc header, tanabe racing catback, and a friend in my car we raced my friend in a protege5 and i spun the tires but then caught up and we ran head to head and i started to pull on him so i bet if i was alone in my car and hadn't had spun the tires i woulda beat him

I do hate it when people flame but I hate it worse when they're just plain full of crap. If our cars can run mid 11s with only an intake and exhaust, they'd sell like hot cakes.

yeah, just thought about that . thought I'd come back and ask the same question you did. 1/8 would make more sense.

A Ferrari driven by someone in a coma...

In most cases it will be the driver, plus, all the really matters is if you beat them off the line, not the end result. Beating them off the line tells you you're better then them. Cause you're quicker, you just don't have the best car... Cause in real drag racing, that's typically all that matters inital reaction time, and launch.

I beat my buddy's manual eclipse rs all the time. It is usually a close race though. He has an Injen intake and Greddy exhuast and is a decent driver. All I have is a Thermal R&D Exhaust and AEM cold air intake with a Exedy clutch.

I smoke a 95 Toyota Corolla on a regular basis. I've taken some old Datsuns and some Kias. Yeah, i run with the big boys. And for sure I smoked a Honda Insight. The other day, I had a pretty good race with a a guy on the bike....I think it was a 99 Model GT Dyno or a Redline not sure. But I smoked him for sure. That little kid's legs got real tired. He couldn't keep up.
