Nitrous, turbo, supercharger they are the only power adders. Like if you enter into a race at BOTI for example and one of the limits for the class is one power adder, that means you can only have one of the 3 from above or worded another way you can't have nitrous and turbo or nitrous and supercharger, etc.. Limited to one power adder definently does not mean one bolt-on. 2.8"pulley, injectors, and CAI are all bolt-ons.
Still feel like being a smartass???

I used to beat Civics all the time in my 99 Chevy Tracker. But I almost got a Civic or an Accord. I like the cars and I see the potential. I know that one day I'll meet a Civic that will eat me alive. Gotta get through all the bullshyt first. I know that if I meet an Accord with an H22 swap, I'm toast. If I meet a Civic with a K motor, I'm toast. I just don't like rice. I love the JDM Honda look.

Im not trying to knock civics or the cobalt ss/na, just the people talk **** about what they know nothing about, those are the funnest ones to beat on the highway cuz they get the maddest.
im going to trade up to an ss s/c in a year or to
as far as mazda goes they make a nice car.. i beat an older mazda mx8 and rx 7 both where on my door the hole time..

i drove a friends for a few days...i couldnt wait to give it back to her when she got home. driving one for 4 days was 4 days too long. my camaro with a blown headgasket was more fun driving when it warmed up.
civic = 0-60 in an hour.
but they are reliable, stock cars for commuting. sorry, i hate. tuff if you dont like it. there is fast, there is slow, and then there is just not even worth driving.

Ya I had a 200 civic ex. It had some bolt-ons and Z3's tale lights. I liked the car but did not want to do much more to it. So I bought the Cobalt SS/SC. THis i a way better car.
PS/ I still have the Z3's and tail light for sale. I wonder why no one will buy then. I am thinking of putting then on ebay again for like 5 bucks.
Civics are ok cars and I like passing them.

If you ask me, a most Civic owner's opinions on a domestic cars hold no credibility no matter if it is in favor of or against it. The only way it would hold credibility is if they actually drove the car, rode in the car, touched the car, sat in the car, etc.
Basically, I believe nearly all Civic owners carry with them a bias even though they may not think so.
Edit: Previous statement is incorrect. Please replace any interation of "Civic" with "rice".
