You needed proof? My KA24DE S13 was plenty of fun.

But with 400 hp it would be so much better. I mean, with that low hp how can you even drag race it? I can't merge without a turbo.

If anyone here did this race in real life you would be having a ****ing blast no joke

This is probably why people go back year after year to lemons.

My civic was one of the funnest cars I've ever driven. So easy. Quick. I honestly think it would destroy most WRX/STI's I'm seeing on the roads right now in everything but the quarter mile. Especially all these hellaflush POS'.

Miss that car.
