I would consider stephen papadakis' civic a sports car for sure (its a coupe not a hatch i might addd), running the quarter in about 8.6. further, as a comparison, jun's silvia runs the quarter in 8.9. neither of these cars are real sports cars...stock...but the supra, considered a sports car stock, isnt as fast quarter as either of these :b with veilside's supra running 9.004. true this is all drag, true the supra would destroy both highway, as would the silvia make a much better track car. but as someone said, the car is what it is built for. i just happen to know exact examples for drag. i dissagree with what matic said about nissan has always had honda whipped. in fact i believe all in all honda has been leading until they recently retired. further nissan has never really been a part of the rally community. dont get me wrong, im working on a 180sx conversion and love nissan, but i also loved my prelude and love my friend's lsvtec civic. i just dont think anyone can correctly say "nissan has honda whipped"

p.s. all drag times posted have been the fastest i have ever seen, and having discussed this on the 240-sx.com forums those were the fastest we could come up with...correct me if they are wrong.</td></tr></table><span id='postcolor'>
" We challenged the limits of stock bodies in drag racing. Even though it has just 4 cylinders, the Silvia boasts more than 700 ps. After achieving Japan's first 9-second car, drag racing fans roared out JUN's name when we the broke new ground with our 8"887 record in the U.S. " - JUN

find a honda doing that..

rally community? &nbsp;are you kidding?
