No stock car is safe, it will get smoked by a modded car or possibly smoked by a faster stock car........Every true racer knows you don't race stock, you build your machine then see what that baby can do...You can go with older model hatchbacks....89-91..They will be super light. I wouldn't go any year older than a 89 to be honest. Then I'd get a swap.......or you can get a EG...they are still fairly light.If you want to go for looks. Get a EK.Keep in mind considering swaps and modifications.

if you plan on modifying get a 92-95 civic hatchback and do a k series motor swap. the k-series engine is the best engine out there for the civics. but it is exspensive.

EK... EG.. etc are generation years.....EK are hondas from 1996-2000(6th gen)... EG are from 1992-1995(5th gen).....i have an 2002...thats a 7th generation...2001-2005..... Just remember due to emission/OBD laws in like 45 out of 50 states, you cant swap an older engine into a newer car... since Honda stopped making the B series in 2001... and my car is an 02...i have to go K series which is better anyway... so if you buy an older gen... you can put whatever motor you want in it...
