Common, each car has it's place and deserves some respect. Yes the Trans Am is a pig on gas and is a heavy ass car, but they handle very well expecially for thier size, and to sit in one at full throttle is always exciting, the instant push at any given RPM is astounding. The Civic is not even the same kind of vehicle. I always detest these idiotic comparisons. Let's compare a Focus to a Civic, or keep the mustang for comparision to the Trans Am. Nobody can seriously expect a stock Civic to stay nose to nose with such a beast. It would be the same as comparing a Contour SVT to a Z06.
