Obviously you've never driven an S2000 on a winding country road in severe anger.. I have to say my experience with my friends minorly modded (CAI and Invidia Exhaust + Intrax springs, Amuse front lip, and some sort of carbon hood, i think Invidia as well as black HRE 540's 18x8 in front 18x9.5 in back) was prob one of the most fun events ive ever had in a car. Power oversteer was easy to obtain, and the car points like a champ. Sure your lightweight frankenstein civic would maybe pull on the straights, but i highly doubt your ability to maintain my cornering velocity...
