Surely they aren't serious? I'm not even sure how to respond to something like that. I mean, if they said a mustang, or camaro, or corvette - anything within the realm of make believe I could understand - but a civic?
The best I ever saw was a ricer mag that profiled ALL of the Fast & Furious 2 cars. It detailed each car in the movie - stating their mods and their "supposed" horsepower. I say "supposed" because you know what? The magazine even said that every car was fictitious. In reality, all they had was some chrome plated parts, a body kit, and about 200hp tops. It was hilarious.
