Default Time to sell civic????

Im currently in debate whether to sell my 98 civic ex to buy a more powerful car , one that is easier to modify with less expensive upgrades. Mainly cars like LS-1's and Mustangs. I would have to spend so much into my honda to make it run close to a stock LS-1. And on one of those i can spend less than a grand on i/h/e and gears, and time in the 1/4 goes down bye a second if not more.Im just wondering if it is worth doing anything anymore to a honda, i dont really want to do turbo and engine swap then just want to sell it once i find that will only get me a 13.5 or so.I was wondering about spray but on my car i dont think i will even break 14's.Hmmmm sorry for rambling on , just that stuff makes me wonder if i even should try to do it. One good side of things though where i live there are so man ricers that my car can beat most of them now and they prolly dont even know what a mustang or ls-1 are. Haha i know pathetic. They take these 1990 civic dx's through a fart can on , and think its so fast. Hehe once again rambling sorry but you get the idea,... IS IT WORTH IT???

Geez dude, lookin at your list of mods there....it doesn't look like you've gotten into the expensive stuff yet. Go american if ya want, though you'll most likely regret it.

no offense.. but your effort to go faster has been minimal....

in fact at least one of your mods made you slower.. not talking shit.. just saying..
