my 2 cents

he's got a point. a civic is nothing special either. it was designed to be economical transport for the masses, not a sports car.

another thing to consider, albeit those honda motors make 200hp, how much torque do they make? honda is notorious for making big power by spinning high, but no ***** to back it up.

one more thing, the first generation neons (what was it, like 96-99 or something?) were the most powerful in their class. how 'bout them apples?

but don't look at me, I don't like either car. I'll never own either.

02GD_Wagon street rep is low. keep going

Neon's are quick in stock for for what it is..

my friend has a 97 coupe 5spd dohc, kept up& pulled on a GS integra (B18A).. I'm sure it would give a Civic SiR EP a run for its money, at only 160hp from that K20..

but you definitely can SRT4 swap one for cheap and make it a lot quicker than most guys that would have been laughing at you in their civics.
