Not a Z owner but I might be later (see pic)

Trade up!

I came from a Civic and have forgotten all about it in the month I've had my Z. I had an 8th gen like yours (but a sedan) and am familiar with 8thCivic... good community. But man, you and I both know that "it's just a Civic" feeling. And really, when you think about it, the car is just your average sport-compact. Nothing special at all.

Though yours is pretty damn nice with those mods!

But the Z is just a better car by far. It runs low-mid 13s stock and dynos around 270ish to the wheels depending on what type of dyno you use. Guys with full intake/exhaust are putting down 320+ whp. That will put you into the 12s for sure if you have any clue how to drive a straight line.

I say go for it! Drop the Civic and pick up a brand new Z... you'll never regret it. I doubt you'll even think about your Civic!
