Racing is bad for you. It hurts your morale, pride and wallet. And from a roll alot of cars can keep up with each other...only real cars can pull away. I mean think about it 195 mhp isnt impressive anymore...dont get me wrong I've owned my share of cars and I love my csvt but its not even close to an answer even for some pos civics.granted NA it can spank a civic like a rotten stepchild but any ricer with some money in it(spent right) can embarass 90% of us. Now we can do the same things as them to our rides but with less choice and more price. Besides in NY if they catch you racing well....they now own your ride
