i can spend $3K and make an old plymouth minivan run 12s in the 1/4mi that doesn't make it a performance car.
Mike's EF is not a performance car. He made some changes to make it handle better and he is a great driver which is 95% of his sucess with the car.
i'm done with this stupidity from you. If you think a Civic si/etc (R models excluded as i stated above) is a peformance car, then keep on thinking that and live in your little world.
