At least our 7th gens chassis' are not a deathtrap like the 6th gen chassis, not to mention the #1 spot in the IIHS offset test, and double 5-star rating at NHTSA. I'd rather have a 7th gen than a 6th gen piece of crap. HATE, AND YOU WILL BE HATED ON!
I'm sure you can see the improvement Honda made on the 7th gen. Look at that weaksauce chassis on the 6th gen!

look how even the lexus name plate and all parts remain perfectly intact. no tolerance for movement on any part of the chassis

And valve float is what occurs, often at high rpm, whent the valve doesn't completely seal the combustion chamber during it's closed cycle. Now that we've proven absolutely nothing, I think Joe has already said all that I would have said.A 300WHP B18 turbo'd civic should run 12 flat easily. However, you don't have what you claim, otherwise you'd know that a stock Z06 should be a kill you can manage, and a mustang GT you should be able to take starting in even 2nd gear.

Rep Power: 0 its called a crumple zone genius. The chasis is SUSPOSED to do that. It absorbs kenetic energy instead of it being transfered into YOU. Death trap? Please show me the proof.

Rep Power: 0 I can kinda see a little problem where the front and rear doors meet, but not anything that would make me think the 7thgen is any safer than the 6th. Honda has been known for having some of the safest cars in the world ever since govt. crash testing began, so i don't see the problem here.

Rep Power: 0 on top of that, you cant compare pictures of "in progress" crashes. What if the 7th gens pic was taken .523364 seconds before the 6th gen civic's was? That would mean it had that much time to crush in its crumple zone all that much more... which would lead someone who doesnt know anything to believe that one recieved more or less damage then the other. you find me AFTER CRASH photos and the documentation to prove on is safer then the other.. then and ONLY then would your point be valid.

Rep Power: 0 Guru, don't even test me on the physics of how the chassis manages crash energy. I understand it all too well. I'm not going to go out there and put it into technical terms for people who don't know as much. So, chill. I've written so many term papers and reports on the stuff. (college) And if you want to go take a look at the data yourself, you'll see that the 7th gen has no rearward movement of the A-pillar. And why do you need after-crash photos? I already provided the after crash photo of the 7th gen... and a during-crash photo of the 6th gen (where the A-pillar is obviously bent)

I wouldn't say safest, I mean Volvo has probably taken that tite...And Dude, Ever heard of putting all your thoughts and rebuttals in one post??? No three in a row ......It makes it look like your debating yourself ....
