I retract my previous statement, Its VERY possible the civic can lose, now believe it.

7.92 is pretty good for a 15k car.
But when I used the Odyssey for comparison, I pitted it against an Automatic Civic EX which looks more like this...
Civic EX 5A
0 - 30 (sec): 3.5
0 - 45 (sec): 6.2
0 - 60 (sec): 9.6
0 - 75 (sec): 14.6
1/4 Mile (sec @ mph): 17.1 @ 81.7

So yea, the R18 is slower than the Odyssey... but it's nothing to get all bent out of shape about. The Odyssey has a better Weight/Power ratio, a Grunty SOHC engine, costs $10k more, and get piss poor gas mileage because of it. All I'm saying is the R18 can be considered fast enough for it's price range (although not the fastest), but it is by no means fast. As a matter of fact, the SI is by no means fast either.
