its funny but the wrx on the street is an amazing combatant... think about a high 13 second fwd car running street tires on the street.. that COULD be up to a half second differance off the track numbers... if this is done on the street it will be closer than people think... the wrx is an amazing street racer... mid 14's at the track, but the plus is.. it will run that exact time on the street also, due to lack of traction problems.. i think the civic (if he is a good driver) will win, but i HARDLEY think he will smoke you...
