I'd rather be driving an economy car that can run mid 15's instead of a boat that can run mid 15's. And say what you want, a stock Civic Si CAN run mid 15's.
New Si in the Mid-15's: Rare
99+ V6 in the Mid-15's: Slightly above average
New Si in the Low 15's: NEVER
99+ V6 in the Low 15's: Uncommon
New Si in the 14's: HAHA
99+ V6 in the 14's: Extremely Rare, but not impossible
*Assuming all cars are stock
Oh, and the Stang is:
1. Cheaper (actually, you can get brand new V6's for 12,xxx, so as cheap or cheaper than ANY new civic except maybe a manual one with no tach, AC, or CD)
2. RWD... I test drove a new Si for the fun of it after I drove a new Civic for my brother that was manual w/ NO TACH (what the crap? ***s at honda just want you to pay 1000 for the next level up so you can have a tach that would cost them $5 to put in.) and I went to turn onto a street and the dumb thing with its bicycle tires started peeling out and because you can't steer when your steering wheels have no traction, it almost pulled me into the curb. Fortunately I let off enough for the rubber bands to get traction and gained control. So then the salesmans like,"More powerful than you thought, huh?" and I said, "No I'm just not used to bicycle tires and GAY FWD!" He was fairly quiet after that.
3. Better Looking: Yeah, looks are opinion, but 98% of the population would say that my mustang looks better than a giant shoe.
4. 90% of Mustang owners aren't annoying ricers (though, admittedly, some are annoying, but thats the same with every car. Mustangs just get a bad rap with imports because the imports not only get annoyed, they usually get OWNED.)
