And you call us biased...

Not all of you. It's ok though as you are commenting while only knowing one side of the argument. The little civics can be built just as cheap as the 2.3 if we are talking used parts like you are.

All depends on how hot of a deal you can get on used parts... Turbocoupe's are slightly easier to find in my neck of the woods than turbocharged Civics.

Personally I would pick neither though, I have been getting the itch to try an AWD version of my old Laser...

I will admit they can be built cheap and quick if you b16/18 swap and gut the car, it is definitely a contender. But I know of MANY civic owners (there's alot over here) that have put well over thousands and thousands into their cars and none are much over the 300 mark. (but I won't even get started on high horse in fwd)

But, the same principle could be applied to a 2wd ranger if you really wanted to. Gut the darn thing within an inch of it's life, and shove as much boost as the lightest engine as you can find and it could happen.

Just sayin.

Impossible to limit it to just 5, but 5 I saw while cruising today...

1. Dodge Ram
2. Dodge Dakota
3. Dodge Caliber
4. Jeep Compass
5. Ford Taurus X

You have finally come to the point I wanted. They are about equal. You can build anything cheap and fast with JY turbos and some know how.

Dollar for dollar? Confusing I know. With enough money I can build a schoolbus that can fly to Japan.

Interesting proposition, but i believe thats been done:

of course the cool bus is where it's at

i like this one too

1: Hummer AKA the clown car, why anybody would anybody buy one is a mystery to me. Their too short for a tow vehicle with zero cargo room. For what they cost you can get much more in a one or ¾ ton truck. They are useless unless you are going to follow a M1 tank around all day.

2: Those stupid 5 ton trucks with a pickup truck bed put out by International and Freightliner. Again what is the point?

3: Any car or truck that looks like it was designed by Playschool!

4: Anything with dumbass fender vents, I’m so sick of those. It really sucks when Ford lowers it self by sticking them on a vehicle.

5: Anything with the three Buick port holes stuck on them. If you want a Buick, buy a Buick!

1. Honda Ridgeline

2. Explorer Sporttrac

3. Swap 1 and 3, my absolute least fav is the toyota prius, your not better than everyone else just because you have a fuel efficient car(also hideous)

4. The 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe LTZ MSRP new was $54,000. I know 2 people that own this overly expensive POS!!! My moms LTZ down run(cracked head gasket) with a total of 18,000 miles. Its covered in dents(shit sheet metal) and the steering wheel is peeling. this ride has always been garage kept and maintenanced btw.

5. Dodge Ram
May be the most comfy truck out there however it is also the ugliest full size and least reliable

Well, I don't think all Civics are gay.

[wrecking-crew]

i have a new top 5 fugly/least favorite cars.

any toyota prius

any toyota

any honda

any dodge

any new chevy

 

[Bondo]

1- Chevy Avalanche. Just makes me laugh to think these morons driving these actually picked this over everything else on the market. How much more ridiculously ugly could they have made these pieces of crap? Square fender profiles and 300 pounds of plastic? What a ride.....LMAO!!!! Look at me!! Im driving a trukki-van!!!

2- Honda Ridgeline. A uni-truck that looks like a POS Avalanche. Nuff said.

3- Chevy Monte Carlo W body (95-07). Again with the fuglyness. What exactly was GM thinking here? Thank god they stopped making these stupid looking eyesores.

4- Jeep Compass. Not only is this a mall crawler that would be a joke off-road, but it looks like the offspring of a Scion and a very ugly chick.

5- Chevy Silverado. Seems like Chevy likes it some squareness.... The truck has no look to it at all, just plain and forgettable. At least you remember passing an Aztec at an intersection....

 

[zukirider21]

Sorry, I cant keep my list to 5 specific cars. But I'll do it by 5 tiers of disgust:

#1- NEONS, PT LOSERS, TOYOTA ECHOS - WTF are the people thinking! i dont even know what to say!

#2- any dodge/chrysler. ESPECIALLY the ram, dakota, charger, 300, etc.

#3- the tart uh... i mean smart car

#4- prius, insight, idk whatever those little electric gokarts are.

#5- any honda, toyota, shitsubishi ricer.


i tried to separate all the cars but they really all just suck ass.

 

[zukirider21]

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.

a dirt cheap mild carbed 302 swap in a ranger would eat that pos jap crap for lunch. and for less money.

 

[98Ranger_4x4]

1. Prius-gayus
2. Smart Car... Wtf its like a choebox whith Roller Skate Wheels...
3. Any car ridin 22s, or even worse, 24s
4. Gremlin... Only for its looks
5. Tough choice; its between any supercar(farrari, Lambo, etc.) that doesnt get driven, and any 4x4 that never sees dirt, let alone mud

 

[Ozwynn]

5. Any car that has an Oregon driver in it (apparently knowing how to drive isn't required to get a license there)

Having grown up in Oregon........ I will agree to this ....... the same also applies to KingMan Az.......... also a bunch of non-driving Mother ****ers

5. Tough choice; its between any supercar(farrari, Lambo, etc.) that doesnt get driven, and any 4x4 that never sees dirt, let alone mud

I hate mud..... quick way to wreck an expensive part. as previously stated my 4x4 gets used in the snow.
