They are hard ot beat in a straight line, but for autocrossing I've beaten alot of cars with my Civic. You are on the internet - use it to look up things like 1/4 mile times of the cars you are talking about.
The WS6 is a powerful torque monster. My friend has one. Hondas are revless wonders, but are for economy. Yes you can beat a WS6 or any car with money. An engine swap will run upwards of $3000+. Turboing your stock DX will probably cost the same but probably pump out 200hp max for that engine. It would be a grenade waiting to blow up.
The Civics that beat muscle cars are cars running turbo kits with Integra or K-series engines now. Something like $5000-10,000 invested in the car and tuning. To even hang with a WS6 in a Civic you need at least 300hp and lots of traction, which FWD suffer off the line.
My friend has an almost stock Ex and he says he can take them with no problem most of the time. Whys he different and not me?
It's called talking out of your ass. Nothing to back him up except all talk. I bet if he went up against your buddy with the WS6 he would get his ass handed to him and make him run home to mommy. There is a difference between a know it all and a poser. Someone that talks the talk and doesn't walk the walk. Most people on HAN are very knowledgeable with Hondas. We all know our stuff. Some of us have been racing for 10+ years now some even longer than me. WOW I've been on here for a long time
