If anybody feels like explaining what boost is that would be good. What year civic? Are formulas not fast or people just dont like them? Not real sure what torque is either. I have minimal knowledge of cars. ---

(comparable years) thing is, there are hardly any stock gns around anymore, cause they are so cheap to mod and make fast, that is if u like the look of them, alot of ppl dont. ---
