its an indi blue with bonnet stripes (not as fast as red but hopefully the bonnet stripes help :smile: ). neither of the 2 cars is modified in anyway. it'll be on a flat road not uphill nor downhill.

I had a 93 Civic w/ a 5 speed... (98 had a slightly larger, v-tec engine I think);

No question, in SD mode the CVT would eat my old Civic for breakfast. Depending on which engine the 98 has it might be a close call though.

I'm affraid the bonnet stripes will only increase the weight of the car. You better clip your finger nails and shave to make up for that weight gain.
