alright, well just on the line of what makes a sports car, how about what it is at the time? not what it came factory.  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.
