wow we're famous on clubgp

Wow, way to handle the civil arguement I presented. I never said "you" were driving around with wings. Just that we all see a lot of civics like that. It wasn't meant as a personal attack bud.
And yes, that is starting w/ a blower. That's our point exactly. We're improving on a nice stock design. And while I'll say again. Do what you want with your car and I'll do what I want with mine. The point is a civic wasn't meant to be a performance automobile. The gtp was, or they would have never put a blower on it.
I'm sure we can meet up at the track. And I'm sure we'd have a good race, I just don't live in ND. But I sure do love my blower when she wines.

I didn't mean to sound mean or like i was arguing with you, i was just presenting a case of one civic. I agree it is good that everyone does something different, it would be boring if we all did the same.
And don't listen to bubba, he has nothing better to do than sit and argue that hondas are the only option.

And again, I post it. I have scene a NA 1.6L SOHC 92-95 civic hatch with no NA build or spray...... run a 14.5. It was kevins gold car. Matt also ran 14.28 or something like that with a B16 swapped hatch.
I like GTPs, they are WAY WAY better then the 4.0L Olds Aurora in the garage next to my 240. Sucks to drive in anything other then dry pavement. and for being a luxury car no room.

Everyone has their own choices, fine with me...doesnt have to mean u go into other forums just to stir shit up....

That hatch probaly only weighs 2200lbs. Takes a little more to move 3600lbs .

The civic also only has a 1.6L, it is a little easier to do with more than twice the displacement.

I believe if it's your passion, then fine. I apologize for some of the clubgp comments. But we get aggravated at a lot of the ricers out there. Your fart cannons are annoying and your wings are unnecessary. [QUOTE]i gots a fart can and a wing does that make me a ricer??

Thanks. And my comment was addressed to him, not you.

I felt that this time I had to come in and defend the forum and appologize for some of our members that's all.
I only read the first 3 pages, so I don't know what was said. And sure a civic can corner better and weighs less. The grand prix has its pros and cons too.

I assume you're talking about the aurora. But the gp was never meant and isn't a luxury car.
As for handling, there's things we do to make our ride handle better (all of which I've done), just like you guys make your cars faster on straights.

...and good luck finding "wings" on our cars, unless it's a stock spoiler...I have a wing on my car, does this make me not cool now?
(its a CF S202 wing based on the Spec-C's spoiler from Japan....yes, it is a knock-off, but it is an exact replica)

Honestly, its a decent looking car that has potential to be fairly fast. Props to you for liking the car you do. Some of us on here have different tastes and opinions on "fast" or "cornering" abilities. No problem there, as they are just that....opinions. Find any car out there and you will find one form of enthusiast or another for it. It doesn't mean that their cars are better than your car or my car, but that they have different tastes/needs. Which is great.
I have to say, the first time I raced a modded GTP I was surprised. I got STOMPED in my WRX (Ryan something or another is the GTP owner from Bismarck, ND)....and I thought my car was kind of a sleeper back then.
