 I think that is a little bias, as anyone that owns performance cars thinks that they have the best bolt on car ever made, dont get me wrong I love my car, but if I want to get serious power out of it, I need to drop some cash, instead I have seen 88-93 mustangs that go high 12 with a very limited budget...our car is a great sleeper though.

My friend has a 93 Mustang GT that has the blue top and the silver bottom. Trunk keyhole shaved, all emblems shaved, custom airbrushed 302 on the side, and custom Mustangs running along his 3" cowl hood. That thing is an utter beast. He used to have the aluminum GT40 heads on it, but sold them.
Anyway, its lowered about 2 inches from the ground. Its a nitemare on speed bumps, but its still my favorite mustang around.

Last summer I stayed at a hotel and scraped my exhaust on the parking ramp (very steep grade). I will never get my car lowered because of the possible damage around here.

He has to go over speed bumps diagonally.

Cars with superchargers, turbos, or especially diesels are the best bolt-on cars. You can throw mustangs in there too due to the great aftermarket support. Civic's aftermarket is more geared toward looks and sound than power. With the GP tranny, I wouldn't rank it as the best.
