Pull off the silencer and of course, the noise probably adds like another 35hp to a 105hp engine until the cops pull you over for a loud muffler! My 07 Si(turbo with 197hp) does circles around my 98 Civic DX, and my 95 Dodge Cummins 500+hp diesel does circles around my SI (never tested, but Probably 14 sec 1/4 mile?). Without a boosted launch it will do about 70-75 mph in 3/10 mile, 1/2-3/4 throttle! Probably the fastest Cummins in my county! About 0-70 in 6-7 seconds!

    In the 1970s, I had two favorite cars - a '73 Gran Torino station wagon (hold laughter please) and a '74 Monte Carlo. Both great fun cars that carry great memories (some *really* great). The second gen Montes were gorgeous even with those huge bumpers. I also thought the round headlight versions were more handsome than the '76 '77 square headlight versions.
