Default RE: wat do u think???

it all depends on the model you buy...that controls your relative speed....for instance you could get a 92 civic hx which has a d15b8 and is a pure waste of time unless you want economy....or you could get a 99 si which has a b16a2 and is pretty quick compared to cars in its class....i would buy a honda, why? well you have the reliability which is a given, and plus the amount of aftermarket support and wealth of info in tuning them...
its up to you, but i would get a honda...

if you want to go honda, I wouldn't go N/A. With about 5-6 grand you could build a honda that would eat your cavy alive NO problem. Thats including the price of the car, if you're resourceful
