a 91 civic is definately not needed to be competetive locally. a decently prepped car & a decent driver oughta put you in the mix at any event elliot & bryce aren't at. especially since everyone seems to be deserting STS to drive a miata

i think the newer protege's are a bit on the heavy side but then again what cars from this decade aren't? hell, my car's over 3000lbs with me in it
