Indeed. I wanted to run that car. It was pretty fast for a fwd car.

The Merkur should've have been in at least one of the Fast and Furious movies.

If he never raced it how is it the fastest NA 8th gen civic? I would figure having it featured in a magazine would be great advertisement to get it sold.

My point exactly. But per the numbers, and the others the shop built (they had the fastest FI and NA), it would have been right up there.



On another note, here's my all original 1st gen with only 80k miles on it....

The Ford RS 200 was in Fast and Furious. The Sierra RS 500 and the Ford RS200 share the same engine:
