I love the gmc syclone for stealth style performance most people don't expect a truck to be kicking their ass.
How cool would it be enter a decent allround truck at totb the will be fast on the handling track the dragstrip maby even fast on the topspeed section.
But you need decent suspension setup big brakes and a well tuned engine.
Maby lose weight witout stripping the interior.
I am very open minded about cars i love just most performance cars not just the ford rs range.

Why is that?
Go and ask 1000 random people what a cav turbo is/what performance it has and the majority will say Ive never heard of one, is it a gsi with a calibra turbo engine, or do you mean a cav turbo diesel?

99% of vauxhall parts desks have never heard of them, so mr general public certainly hasnt lol (yes they are that rare)

Well apart from a nice set of wheels and clear side repeaters thats a standard Civic Coupe. Ok maybe not in the same league as that Volvo and other cars listed like it but still an ordinary looking car with very unordinary performance.

I dont think i agree with that although i see what your saying yes they are an underated car.

Civic is a sleeper as you wouldnt expect the performance but just not on the same level...or anywhere near it lol

Civic Vti coupe's are fairly nippy as standard. A bog standard shitty looking civic with hubcaps and shit paint would be a sleeper.
