I can see where both of you are coming from though...
Shawn: The LSx has ENDLESS potential...and you can start with something that is very mod friendly and loves to have the crap beat out of it...not too expensive to mod and you can always do something to them (Blower, Cam/Header, Spray, Turbo...)
gdbyrd: Starting with something with a low power level and making it ungawdly quick is something I have always commended...if I have my ass handed to me by a Civic...(hate the car) but honestly I would give the guy congrats and make him pull the f*ck over and tell me what he has done to that thing LOL
In the end I still say get a 1G DSM...for 3 grand you can have one stupid car
