Just cause I like causing a ruckus (not really, I just thought this needed to be said) Is an 11 second Civic more impressive than an 11 second N/A stang? We all know a civic would have to be turbo or blown or mega NOS or have a fat *** crazy engine to go 11's. So which one's more impressive. To be honest, I say neither. The civic is impressive, and honestly, I might roll an 11 second civic, but the stang is also badass. But the civic would have to have absolutely no ricer bullshit on it. however, I still feel that an N/A stang is more impressive than a blown stang running the same times. Blower install is relatively easy to do. Now tweeking a 302 (or some variation of a Ford small block) to make the same power as a blown one? That's impressive. No question about it. But either way, if you just pay someone else to do all the work to your car, blown or not, turboed or not, NOS or not, I have less respect for a guy who throws down 6 grand to have some speedshop build him a 347, or have someone install a blower than the guy who sits around in his garage trying to figure out how to tweak what he's got. Or someone who builds the 347 themselves, now that's badass and you've got my props. RICERS SUCK!
