I'm sorry but you can't compare a 15 year old car to a new car.
In 15 years people will be able to buy a Cobalt for 3k, strip it, and install an LNF, and with HP Tuners and Drag Radials, it'll be just as fast as your Civic.
Yes, we know you only paid 10 grand to make your car "fast" but on a level playing field, any car can accomplish that.
And I love how you talk down "Basemodels" when you currently own one.

my civic cost 3 grand..and the swap was 4....over all i would high guess that i spent about 10 grand.....i know for a fact u paid way more for what i have paid...
regardless that is besides the point...my civic is fast..i have done what is needed to be fast...if ur car is near stock and is a LS base model....why are u racing it? i dont understand peoples need for thinking that they own a race car when it actually runs a high 16 second 1/4 mile...has nothing to do with a cobalt or a civic or anything....
it just blows my mind that people buy these cars and brag about being another 17 second car lol...

I'm sorry, but if ANY of us put 7 grand into our drivetrains and stripped our cars, we'd be right up there with you.
Hell, I put $300 into my car and it went from a 16.40 on a good day to a 14.50 on a bad day.
Oh snapz.

thank you! i think alot of this forums problems would be resolved if people just wouldn't make comments when its irrelevant to the subject at hand...

And to add to my arguement, you said you paid 3 grand for the civic, and 10 all-in-all, which means 7k went into the engine/trans

You're talking about a 15 year old car. If a Cobalt was 15 years old, it wouldn't cost a dime more than your car. Look at current-day cavaliers.

At which point in time I'd chime in about how I only spent 6 grand on a stock sled that goes just as fast if not faster when I haven't changed jack **** under the hood.
Get the point?

oh motortrend says
14.3 on the rsx-s
13.9 on the ss/sc
pretty close but still a win... chevy FTW!
5.5 0-60 ss/sc
7.03 0-60 rsx-s
i don't see were you got your information from.
i suppose your next comment will be motortrend doesn't have professional drivers?
