The last time I had a conversation with you, you hadn't even driven that car yet. Which is it? Have you been driving it and beating these Evo 9's and STi's, or have you not driven the car you bought and not built?

Highway, sidestreets, it doesn't matter. Street racing claims lives no matter where you do it.

PNK SLP....Save your time, energy and money. A Cobra will bury you in a heartbeat! And by the way, how about taking it off the street/highway and onto the drag strips.

PNK SLP,
Your setup is impressive, but what kind of top end do you have? Road race is alot different than street racing, and probably even more dangerous. I would say you could beat a stock SVT Cobra off the line and in the 1/4 since you're lighter, FWD, and have more hp, but a modified Cobra would give you a run or edge you out. And on the freeway, the Stang would more than likely take you there (more balanced and built for top end).

Wow dude, please stop, this makes absolutely NO sense. First of all when you talk about off the line and how the civ has the advantage you are COMPLETELY wrong. FWD is a DISADVANTAGE not an advantage and the cobras low end torque would be of major benefit.

Second of all, when you talk about the Stang taking it on the freeway, WTF?!?!?! does "it is more balanced and built for top end" mean. If anything, this is where having more overall horsepower (as you say the civic does) becomes the advantage and since higher speeds allow you to stay in your powerband longer (because the tach doesn't move as quickly) peak power becomes a determining factor.

Seriously PNK SLP i mean no offense to Geno, but everything he said is absolutely wrong and you should not regard it at all. Again Geno I mean no offense but think about some of the comments I made and maybe you'll see why what I was talking about is correct (PM if you have any questions)
