Neither am I... once you get it into the upper rmp range so the vtech can kick in they are pretty quick, but until then you don't have much more than a standard issue civic.

If it's anything like my old GS-R it gets up there extremely quick if you know how to drive... Of course all the civic's got a bit pudgy with the new bodystyle.

Two of my friends have em. I've ridden in them, they're pretty weak. My buddy's accord eats em up all day long.

I'm not saying they don't accelerate fast when you need them to, but unless you spend all you time cruising around town at 5000 rmp, they aren't much better than a regular civic.

I'm not sure, but It's a 95. Not the newer ones.

It looks like it'd be fast, but it's not, but it is nice to look at.

Probably a Civic VX, most of the others at least made over 100hp (barely though unless it was an si )

SI's are nice! Especially with the VTec.

But yeah, I think it was a VX. I'm not sure. I remember asking him but he didn't really remember.

All I know is I found out it gets 90-hp and when people bring it up he gets really mad lol. That is really bad...

It's the coupe type Civic, not the hatchback ones. Jus incase you're wondering...
