Uhmm...7thgencivic site, I previously read posts of when you had a civic. Your sig suddenly makes sense now. You have an IS300, not a civic. I apologise for assuming that you were talking about the d17. Why am I arguing with you then?

I had a Civic til about 6 weeks ago. I tried to give some clues, or you could have checked my members ride pics or profile. I just figured I'd let you run

But I know the guys on this board and I trust what they are saying about their cars, so I'll just be around and sticking up for them anyhow.

Would you care to explain how you came to the conclusion that I'm an ignorant driver? My definition of a "Kill" is when one car beats another. And stock for stock, the civic will not pull on the 240. I'm not going to argue about this anymore. Believe what you want to believe.
Yes a civic will pull a 240sx. Get that through your head. The cars arguably run identical times in the 1/4 mile. The civic traps higher. The RWD advantage for launch on the 240sx is lost when going from a roll. Is that clear enough for you?

How exactly am I ignorant? Failing to believe you guys that the d17 is one of the most potent inline 4 engines ever produced?
Now you're putting words into our mouths.

BTW, Zzyzx: Autocrossing is 90% driver. Are you saying that all of us should be driving 91hp civics since it's a better, faster car?

No, thats not what I'm saying. WHat I am saying is that what you drive don't mean squat, Its' how you drive it. in other words, I have a lot of respect for Those people who have the skill and knowlage to make their cars excell in what ever performance aplication they want to persue (Dragstrip or road course). I don't however have any respect for those who simply dismiss a car as infirior, or "Obviously Slower" then another car. Yes Autocross is 90% driver, thats why I respect the people who race there and prove to the rest of the automotive community that Spouting out Horse power ratings and Tourque specs to figure out which car is better is relitivly pointless. Thats why I dont give a Damn about my 1/4 mile time.

I'd rather find out who is the better driver rather then who has the bigger pocket book.

If you believe that monkeys can type and spell, then by all means: Be my guest...
