OR, you could go spend about 15k (just an estimate) on a civic thats in good shape, put all the mods that you could ever want on it, and still have a shitload of $ left over. You could get close to the same numbers of SOME cars. (with the exception of some "super" cars) And you will have a lot more fun in the process by taking a good machine, and making it kick ass.
Just my thoughts......(anticipating the bitching of a couple people)
91 or so mr2 turbo, 90+ 300zxTT,nissan 240sx, toyota cressida *cant remember how to spell it*... buy those cars... and spend the rest of the 7-10K you have left over on mods... lets see what a modded civic can do against those cars in the same price range...
and when it comes to modifying cars...unless your rich... having a shitload money leftover is rarely the case...

and i bought my first civic, because it was the only thing i could afford... it just so happens people around my town started modifying them already hence how i got into it...
and i would never buy a porsche...
