Dollar for dollar, your Ranger wouldn't touch that car. But it's all about opinion. What is gay to you, is fast and agile to another.
i know this post is very old, but i beg to differ about the dollar for dollar statement, look at the price of the engine internals the guy used. I know it doesnt include the turbo, etc...but still, compared to the civic, id take this ranger!!!

TOP 5
1.any box car (scion xb,kia soul,nissian cube...infact any scion in general i hate)
2.any car with an oversized spoiler, even if the car is fast and has a huge gay spoiler on the back...my saab had no spoiler and did 130 mph fine, so unless you go well over that on a daily basis, and you have a dumb spoiler, your gay.
3.dodge neon, i could NEVER see myself driving one, it falls under the vw cabrio,and new beetle..its a chick car.
4.smart cars...or anything close to it. I hate "green" mobiles like that. Save the planet, while risking to end your life by getting hit by something bigger then a bicycle, i think not.
5.Hybrids...similar to #4, but this is more or less a problem with the smug people who drive them(the ones ive seen anyway), and have cute little bumper stickers the back...a geo gets better gas mileage, and your car is NOT special...however you might be if you buy one (sorry to anyway who owns a hybrid, this doesnt apply to everyone who has one)
