Noone and I mean NOONE buys a Civic or any other fwd for that matter (modded or not) because of their handling prowess.I dunno, people buy Mini Cooper S's for that reason wes.

[QUOTE=harwood39]with the right suspension and chassis mods you can get ther rear end out easily like a rear wheel, and it hold the road awsomely.If your sliding, your wasting momentum.[/QUOTE]
That may be true, but done properly, it is the fastest way around a track. -

If you dont slow doen through a corner and thats why you slide out thats why its faster.

Maybe I could pull out of it but it shure as hell wouldn't be fast. Setting yourself up properly to execute the corner, hitting the apex just right, and exiting the corner without loosing grip or momentum is the fastest way around a track.
If sliding was the fastest way around, then Michael Schumacher,Jeff gordon, And Miguel Duhamel would be the drift kings. That's my belief.
