ur point about the 11sec civics vs. 11sec mustangs is probably correct, i just don't know.. but for street purposes, civics have better reliability.. to mess up a honda engine, you have to throw insane amounts of boost at it or hit the rev limiter like crazy.. to mess up a mustang engine, all you hafta do is drive it daily and it'll mess itself up.. 
ASK ANY EXPERIENCED ENGINE BUILDER AND FIND OUT OTHERWISE!
