well i can beat my friend in his 1999 mustang coupe, but he also is fat and doesnt really know how to drive.
Thats so Funny.
I Think Toyota Echo is Slow Then Theres The Hyundai Accent Then Theres Cars With Inadequite Power With The Wrong Equiptment. Plus Theres The Ford Shitus Opps I mean Focus. The Civic Beats That Were Previously Said By Me.

Lots of cars are slower than a civic. You just need to stop racing from stoplight to stoplight. Race somehwhere where you have to take a few corners...you'll be happily suprised that you can out corner a lot of cars. Assuming your a decent driver.

Rep Power: 0 yeah, the civic is a pretty good car when it comes to cornering, the chassis is very composed, albeit the suspension stock is setup for comfort, its pretty easy to get it to go where you want it to. Ive raced cars on very twisty roads, some that were modified and some that were just MUCH faster than mine. I bet with a good rear sway bar, and some good tires, Ill be able to out-handle quite a few cars.

Get a Manual, and sometimes the driver is the problem.
And dont exagerate, you cant be smoked by those vehicles, cuz they are also slow.

Rep Power: 0 When I first got my car, I though it was a quick little thing. I could hear the tires chirp in 1st and 2nd gear. One day I was just sitting at a red light and lightly reving my engen (just cause its something I have a habit of doing because my old car, if it got down to idle, it killed) and there was this chevy tahoe. He reved onced and the light went green and off we went. After I had him by a car length, he was started to catch up I hit the breaks to make my turn. Thank God I did, the cops were a block away. Ever since, I relaize that, damn this car is pretty slow....
