Not that impressive. If you are going to do a LSX swap into an import, pick something that's lighter than an F-body or Corvette. I give him credit for being original, but I don't expect that car to perform any better than a Corvette in a straight line. Also, since it's RWD now, it has lost the 4WD handling it used to have.

I think the civic was about as good as its gonna get in the way of small imports..except of course the miata, or 240...which, honestly..is too easy and mainstream to be considered really rare.

some people prefer rwd over awd, i myself have never had the experience of a true turbo awd like an sti or evo, so i cant say, but im sure there is.

plus its still bad ass
