Even my 91 golf had less power than that and kept up with on-ramp traffic no problem.

Yea, really man... in 95 the civic CX was amoung cars barely peeking through the 200HP range so youre already around a bunch of slow cars to begin with. Do you see many of them on the road now? And now civics come with, what 160-200hp? and how many cars really go 0-60 in 12 seconds in this day and age vs ones that go 2-3x as fast? Its dangerous...its like taking a slow driving old person and slapping them dead in the middle of a highway This might be good to putt putt around town in 35mph zones but for where I live this thing would be run off the road in a matter of seconds
