a stock honda that will keep up with a stock gt...easy the 2007 civic SI will run side by side if not beat one. Same goes for a s2000..they run right beside a stock mustang.
The dollar for dollar deal...your generally gonna get more out of the honda since parts are cheaper. Turbo for a 4cyl is usually $1200-$3000, where as a v8 kit run's normally $4k+. So you spend all the money beefing up the stock GT engine and turn around and spend the same amount in the honda which weighs less...your gonna get more out of the honda. My boy's 800+whp civic has about $8k in it...thats including slicks/rims/rollcage/and the $3k turbo!
people will argue all day long about 4cyl turbo vs. v8's. Once you've built a 4 banger thats making too much power for the street on a low budget you would see that the lil 4banger isnt something to over look. Dont get me wrong i've been in a friends 5.80 1/8 mile drag mustang...it's sick, but then my boy and i took out his 800hp civic runing 6.20's in the 1/8 and the honda felt twice as fast even while spinning up to 120mph! But hey, i love mustangs but i got my thing for building honda's and other imports still so i'll always argue with the honda's not being fast.
