Nothing sums the whole ricer scene up better than the phrase

civics are what they are factory a cheap mode of transportation not ment to go fast, but when you see them with all that crap done to them? putting a few thou down on mods? for a few thou more u coulda got a better car with a better interior! or from a company with less recalls?
like a complete exhaust system with header and high flow(no?) cat. that makes you loose your TQ in the low end on a tq-less motor! and does indeed sound like a fart! 4cyl's were never ment to have exhaust systems that they put on them these days...

stock civics (save the Si) can be handled by my stock '04 nissan desert runner... this is tru

im sorry but TT V12 making only that much?? i would have that motor tossed and a new big block chevy put in. pushing that much on pump gas without any boost... oh and still get the same or better MPG :)

Yeah, I have to agree that 543HP from a boosted V12 isn't close to impressive. Jag's got a 3.0L inline 6 that beats that.
