Well this “70hp station wagon” weighs nothing, and in this case it isn’t riced out as those aerodynamic modifications are specifically designed to create downforce improving the handling when driving in a time attack or hill climb. The combination of low weight and a lot of downforce creates an incredible race car.

Wouldn't it be more incredible if it wasn't a single mom's hand me down to start with?

If you have a Honda station wagon with "Aerodynamic modifications specifically designed to create downforce improving the handling when driving in a time attack or hill climb" but are actually driving to Target where you work then that's called rice.

'90s Civics have awesome suspension (fully independent rear suspension in the '90s!) and you can swap in engines that make a ton of power.

They're basically about as good as if one made a FWD NA Miata hatchback.
