I have a honda and its stock
will run like 70% of the supras on this board!
s2000 13.7-14.2 stock 1/4 mile.
My Honda stock for stock is faster then decently modded mk3's, Turns better, more reliable, New car smell... (need I say more lol), 6 speed, Drop top, somwhere around 2700 pounds, Mass Aftermarket.
BUTTTT since im a mk3 lover, im not bagging them at all.... Just cause some ricers mess up the honda name regardless if its any honda no matter what it is, it will be bashed.
Hondas can be made fast for CHEAP there is so many and a big aftermarket is why. I belive if you hand 5000$ to a Mk3 owner and a Honda owner I honestly will say I belive the honda can and will go faster. (look better? Better crusing at high speeds? Have a certain feel when you hop in it that you love it? respect from others? NO *unless its a s2000 lol) You can do an engine swap and turbo on a civic and a set of slicks and misc other crap and that thing will run good and be pretty quick. My friend had a turbo d16 (stock engine) del sol and run in the low 13's.... with a 900$ invested in his whole turbo kit on his stock ass motor lol. ok with a mk3, you can spend a good amount of money and make it a beast but faster for the buck I dont think so.
All in all if you want a fast 1/4 time get a mustang or a LS1... (best bang for the buck for going fast.)
Or a bike lol.
