92-95 Civics were around the same price new & the are the most modified & fastest FWD around.

right on. true. I see them at the track though. They have there place in import history because they hit the tracks. Nothing is proven on the street. They can be made into great auto cross cars, track cars, and drag cars.

I wanna see Yaris' out there!!!! :)

Street racing is a joke, period. "Oh man last weekend some dude in a Civic with this hochie gf smoked this dude in a mustang cobra spraying a hundred shot" --------Wow. Is that how Ferarri got their name? No No trying to piss u off, just making a point.

It is not, although im not bashing you for thinking so. Honda got known from motorcycles, and Formula 1 racing is what promoted their automoblie line up since the 1960's.

The Civic itself was found to be a good track car do to it's double wishbone suspension which was never before found on a sub compact (early models).

There is a lot a racing heritage from Honda, it's all over the net, Touring car championships, drag racing records, famous drivers. All of that is what Honda is backed by and they use racing teams to give them feedback on prototype technology. The Si is sport induced, not street racing induced.

The Civic was a prime canidate for the newer generation to get their hands on and modify because it is inexpensive and known to have a good power to weight ratio. But even before the tuner market embraced the Civic, it already had it's mark in the motorsports community, that is where it derived from. 1960's Formula 1. The only name Honda Civic made for itself on the street.... Ricer.

In order for a car to make it's mark, it has to earn respect. Streetracing is not good, people who race on the street are inherantly slow in a real racing situation, I see it all the time. There is no way to push a car's limits on the street other than punching the gas pedal for a few seconds. People who think they are fast on the street are slapped with reality when they attend a track day or autocross. Those all season tires and Megan racing / Ksport coil-overs are better off in the trash can as they find out. The quickest Civic on the street (cosidering street racing is all they know) will get smoked by a 80whp Miata on a track (considering driver races on tracks)... I see it all the time. It's very amusing.

I would love to see Garm (love his set-up) attend a time attack once at least. Im sure that will turn more heads and make a dent in history for the Yaris. More so than telling a story about some street race one weekend once upon a time... talking to the guy at the bar drinking a beer next to you.

Is it pointless to make a 92-00 Civic fast? If so then why do so many people do it?

So you are going to do auto-x or time attack with your nitrous? If not, that's "kind of a pointless."
