Do you drive, have you ever, a Honda Civic?
I have not! I have heard though, that Honda Civic's are great Japanese made cars!
Aren't they used as street racer cars?  You know, all juiced up with nitro and whatever?
I think they are very often used as street racer cars. The Honda Civic Type R has the highest performance of any Honda Civics made by the Honda Motor Company of Japan. Maybe they use those for street racing? 
Weren't there some in the original The Fast and the Furious?
I honestly don't know. I do not watch those movies. I know that there are eight Fast and Furious films, and Paul Walker, one of the lead actors, died in a single-vehicle accident when they were filming the 7th film.
I only saw the first one and that one made me want to get in my care and DRIVE!!!!!
You should watch the rest of them then! It doesn't look like any of the 8 films has made it on the List of films considered the worst!
