I really don't care whose cars are faster. CivicR1, why does this sort of filthy, rude, stupid discussion interest you? As for the rest of the CEGers, why do you stoop to his level?
It's nice to read about certain peoples' experiences with races and such, but statements should not be generalized to the point where we're saying "all Civics are faster than all Contours" or vice versa. There's an exception to every rule.
