Default mustang mach 1 or k20 swapped hatchback?

I'm fixing to buy a car and I was looking at 2003 Mustang Mach1 and a 1998 Civic Hatchback that already has the k20 swap done. The Mach 1 is completely stock. I'm having a hard time deciding what car to buy because I like them both. So I've decided to get a little help. With that being said what car do ya'll think I should buy?

I'd say get the Stang. Its better looking, faster, and RWD.

Civics suck, I'm ready to get rid of mine. Ill be buying a Mustang myself.

get the mustang, then you, me, and phillip can start the HCF Mustang Owner's Crew lmao

(but seriously, mustangs are much better cars all-around than civics... I miss revving to 7200 in my old civic, but that's the only thing I miss... I love the torque, the feel of the car, the handling (fairly neutral with a hint of understeer.... they're nowhere near the tanks people would have you believe), the ability to roast the tires (tire, in my case... but the LSD I'm ordering this week will take care of that) at will, etc. Mustangs are a ton of fun)

Get the K20. Think of the massive support group you'll have here...

...and the gas savings if you drive it like it's mint.

Are you looking for straight line fun? Then get the Mustang. Looking for some cornering and reliability get the K20
