Put the Lancer on a road course against it... I wonder who'd come out ahead.
That's usually what I look at as opposed to straight line acceleration.... Because no one bought this car to be a quarter mile car... right? Guys?

I wanted a Spec V *VERY* badly, but the price was too high at the time, and the worst part, TO ME, was that the interior only came in that bizzarre two tone "Lava" color.

Well from what the dealer told me only 5000 Spec V's are being produced between this year and next,a dn if you want a car that can be highly modified like a civic then you want a spec V. I sold my 96 Civic EX coupe all tricked out with a B16C Engine(JDM Integra Type R Engine). My civic ran to 9500 RPM's with 235 HP, but the torque was weak. Besides I had some kid buy the civic for what I paid for a Spec V!!! And Rasputin just to let you know everyone complements me on the interior, they ask if I paid for it, or if its stock, no one believes its stock, and the interior on teh regular SER is just mad ugly.

I find that very hard to believe, considering Porshe is reknowned for their handling, and most of the reports I've heard on the Tiburon says the handling could be better. That's like those Celica guys saying that the Celica could out handle the Evo VII. Stock. No friggin' way either of those are gonna happen.
