I like civics...... but a civic is an economy car..... one that is going to offer very little reward for the effort put into it. I've drove fwd cars that spun anywhere in nearly any gear....... and it was still lame as shit. I too have built 400+ whp 4 cylinders..... and for the money and effort spent.... i could have had built an 800hp wheel standing 9 second mustang..... i know this... because ive had those too. You cant compare the nostalgia of a Mustang or any other significant muscle car to a civic. There's a reason that when you flip on an action movie (aside from fast and furious) that the hero isnt chasing the bad guy in a honda civic....................... there's a reason James Bond doesnt drive a honda civic......... did you see any honda civics in transformers? do they have a movie called gone in 60mpg? no... they dont. At the end of the day, a mustang is a mustang... and a civic is a civic.

    btw...... the 240 below....... i got it because i wanted an import, but wanted something that still looked like my favorite car, the foxbody coupe.
    Let the man do what he wants. If he wants to build a civic, let him build a civic. Heck, if he wants do something absurd like boost a scion xB or a Honda Element, let him do that. You really don't have to voice your hate all the time for a specific type of car. There's car's that I really don't like, but Im not vocal about it.

    Excuse me if I'm wrong, but I don't think there was any mention of an identity crisis in this argument. I also don't think people with civics think they have a mustang, or vice versa.:good job:

    He doesn't drive a mustang either. The reason is in what he drives, not what he doesn't drive.

    OP- Good luck with the build. You can go with whatever shell you want. You could even hit up the junk yards and see what they've got. Or just keep your eye out for a really sweet deal
