Though yours is pretty damn nice with those mods!

But the Z is just a better car by far. It runs low-mid 13s stock and dynos around 270ish to the wheels depending on what type of dyno you use. Guys with full intake/exhaust are putting down 320+ whp. That will put you into the 12s for sure if you have any clue how to drive a straight line.

I say go for it! Drop the Civic and pick up a brand new Z... you'll never regret it. I doubt you'll even think about your Civic!

(A civic feeling) exactly what I mean. its just too civil. Thats what I like about the Z. To me a civic is a boys toy and the Z, well, its just a real mans car. I would miss vtec and the digital speedo and the 8k redline. With my SI i was just going for the underdog type. But I really cant get more out of it without going sc or tc. But thats just too expensive. for that money with what I already have into it I could have bought a 370z by now so thats what I'm debating. I was planning on going with the comptech stage 2 sc which puts down 306 with my mods. Thats not bad but I just dont feel it will keep up with a class the Z is in. I'm not willing to spend that kind of money on a chance to see if it would outperform something in a higher class. If i did foot the money and it didnt perform better than a higher class I would just be so disappointed. Thats the problem with hondas I guess. I think if I get the Z and do the same mods I have already done to my honda I would be in the
12s for sure, and for a lot less money than it would take to get the honda in the 12s.
