I would have to say a Civic Coupe Dx due to its relitive lightness and long wheelbase.

damn skippy mine weighs 2359 stock dont have to worry about traction problems as much

the front end is to light on crxs, there are ways around it though stiff rear suspension, traction bars, slicks, ect.

i want a crx or eg hatch though, im just stuck with my coupe for now

it hasn't run at all yet...they're still building up the K24 motor with the JDM Type R head on it and quaife needs to get the gears and the entire tranny built up for that beast.
that should be a nice project drag race car....also, they're still trying to measure ITB's for it
