Soif youbought a Civic EX for $5000, and some one else bought a brand new WRX STI for $32,000. If you took the difference you saved on the Civic and spent it all on performance, do you thinkit could beat an STI, drag or track? Thats $27,000 dollars to put towards the civic. Let me know what you think, it will help settle anargument with my brother. thanks

 

27 grad...YES

 

im on your side all the way. if i had 27k to putintomy civic, it would make it a beast. i dont even think you could even use 27k on onlyperformance upgrades alone! youd have to buy some seriously over-priced stuff.

 

that's what i was trying to say, but he loves his STI. The Civic would smoke the STI[:'(]

 

hell yea! a civic built w/ 27k would smokeLOTS of things

 

even half that amount of money would tear the track up. he just doesnt want to believe it... THE FORUM HAS SPOKEN

 

if you could even spend 27 grand on a motor alone, the civic would own most everything on the street. But a lot of that would have to go towards tire/suspension upgrades as well. None the less, would rape an sti and be a baaaddd civic.

 

27k = k series swap w/turbo, every cf body panel imaginable, all new suspension, wheels & tires, custom interior, custom paint...

you name it... hell might even be able to do an AWD or RWD conversion for that with a turbo

 

I'd still take the STi over a fully modded civic

 

werd.

i'm not spending $27,000 to upgrade a civic.

of course, i'd really have to think long and hard about buying a $33,000 STi too...

I'd probably buy an elise for a little more money instead.
