The most intelligable thing you’ve said in this thread. You stated your opinion and since its subjective no one can argue that. Its just when some of these come on here saying it IS a POS. Which in most places you could possibly get beat up for saying. IMO. ---

Here is something that makes you think a little: Lets use a hypothetical. Lets say you have to choose between getting either a stock 600HP Corvette that at the moment has one of the fastest times in the world in the ring and in stock form, OR a stock 600HP Civic.(If it were possible to even make a stock 600HP civic with no bolt ons other than a supercharger and maybe an exhaust. Which its not. Which is why this is hypothetical). Which would you choose? Yup. Not the civic. /thread ---

you guys dont get what im saying… your taking a highly moddified car, and comparing it to a bone stock car running a tad bit faster, and now all of a sudden the stock car isnt impressive, its a POS yada yada…and your highly modified car can only use its power in a straight line…stick it in the ring and all of a sudden the 700hp civic is useless against the 600hp zr1 on a coarse (given this is examples, no direct hit towards anyone on this forum) now your talking about seeing 900hp civics run 8’s…their a shit load more V8’s out there running 8’s then their is civics. theirs many ways to look at it, and many ways to have a debate about it. or we can always look at it this way…take both cars into consideration and compare them in stock form. ---

Actually, thats not what hes saying really. He’s defending the car since 75% of the people on here inst. started bashing it becuase their highly modified civics can run just as fast as the stock car. Hes not saying its better because its just as fast stock. Hes defending it saying its stock and it runs just as fast as your highly modified civic. Highly modify the ZR1 then compare if you want to be fair about it… ---
