    not as much lag as a dyno queen supra. lol, like i said. they're not "very slow" on the highway, but they're no monster that's for sure - the other 4 gears are much more fun.

    and i don't race on the highway, unless it's p0wning my boyfriend's sti. i'm afraid of cops, hehe. i get your point tho. for a rwd car to run 12.3 it would need a lot more power than i have b/c of awd advantage, thus it would beat me on the highway, since it could put all that power to use, and i would be nothing but a car with 350ish whp.

    like i said, i just get annoyed when people say evos and sti are "slow" or "suck balls" on the highway, because they really don't in the scheme of things. go ride in a stock civic on the highway, then a stock evo. they're not slow, just not as powerful as from a launch, obviously.

    Val for President.

    you can't compare a civic to an evo...

    How about a race in 5th gear in the Civic and Evo? I think the Civic will pull ahead,

    But what's the point of comparing a stock economy car to a stock "high performance" car? That's dumb.
