I don't mean to burst anyones bubble, but every time I have been to an autoX event, the cars that have dominated were (in order) Vettes, Miatas, and Camaros, some of which were stock or very close to stock. Maybe I wasn't at an event where the super hondas were, but I'm still going to argue the point that RWD and WWD cars are "50-50" at autoX events.
Sorry Jess, going to have to agree with ridenred on the DSM thing. I've seen some decent ones, but 90% of the DSM's I see are either riced out or driven by highschool girls.
Ridenred, there are some very good reasons as to why not many people have made Festivas fast, the most important and glaring one being that they are, in fact, Ford Festivas. You keep your festiva that runs 12's, and I'll stick with my daily that runs 16's and isn't... a Festiva. To each his own, just as the thread is titled.
The point of some in this thread is that there are so many more reasonable and intelligent answers to the question "how can I go fast on a limited budget" than making a civic run 14's.
On a lighter note, why doesnt everyone just buy a motorcycle and STFU? Sorry if my post pisses anyone off, it isn't meant to.
