Theres hundreds, mostly full of people dissing Civics in favour of the Astra which is ridiculous as Astra GSi's are cack in comparison and r usually rated with such hot hatches as the Cooper S

Astra would beat the Civic 1/4 mile and top speed. Sure the Coupé would beat it round a track also.

The Astra is slower on everything (0-60, 1/4 mile etc) other than the top speed which is about 4mph more, the Astra wud be easily beaten on the qtr mile due 2 VTEC

I'm hoping for a 14.9sec. In standard form. That would be pretty unbeatable by a CTR.

I would of thought that was unattainable by a GSi/Coupe as well

Well in complete standard form my car did a 1/4 in 15.22secs @ 91mph. That was with a bad start and nothing stripped.

My launches are a lot better now and with quite a few weight saving mods I think it will be quite achievable.
