You can beat anyone if they are a shitty driver. I smoked a brand new mustang last monday. A SE should be able to smoke a civic with no problems.

Trial and error are the best ways to go.

I got a buddy of mine with a bone stock civic, hell I can run faster than that car is

Other than that and the occasional old Sentra.. If they can drive you aint got much of a chance.. LOL Just joking...

Street racing is bad, when you can easily go to the drag street and let it all hang out, sortta speak, but dont listen to me, I was leaving 30 foot black marks when i got my car running

The local strip charges, and its way out there. Thats why most of us "crazy kids" go street racing.

Not to be an *** or anything

here are Car and Drivers performance numbers in their March 1984 issue for a brand new stock GSL-SE :
0-60, 7.8 seconds
1/4 mile, 15.9 @ 86 mph

The key is to get outta the hole faster than the wrong..uhh I mean front-wheel drive cars. Ive left many higher powered cars that way. It's kinda funny seeing a ricer still spinning their front tires while I have already smoothly gotten across the other side of the street (:
