Turn the volume up on your speakers.. you can hear the blower ever so slightly.. plus they look like there doin 50+ when taking off.. i dont know of a civic that can spin its tires like that unless its got some serious mods or nitrous.. plus look at the cobra tach when... that just seems to be a pretty quick civic..

I think that Cobra is missing 8 plug wires

That Civic would run with most Kenne Bell and Whipple Cobras. It's trapped low 130s!

that civic is definatly boosted and just cuz it looks like a turd i wouldn't just guess it to be slow. nothing looks wrong to me in this video except that a boosted shity lookin civic beats a stock cobra. and you can also hear the cobra wine ever so slightly hense y i said it was prob. stock

Yeah, anybody that thinks the video is fake needs to watch it with the sound turned on. Definitely a fast little sleeper. Wouldn't want to daily drive it of course, but it'd be a nifty 3rd or 4th car.

Cobra seemed to hardly gain on that truck in front it. The Honda may be quick but I doubt the Cobra was trying. His tach hardly jumped.

That Civic would walk a stock/bolt-on/pullied Cobra.

I couldent really hear the blower at all.

To give you guys perpective this is a vid I took inside my buddies pullied cobra that has very loud exhaust and you can still clearly hear the blower.

It may very well. But I don't know the Civic personally. I'm just going off what I see in that particular video. Neither car really gains on the truck. The truck must be TT. /sarcasm

Sounded like your guys' windows were up...were they? That would def help to hear the blower whine over outside noise...that and not having a boosted to the sky civic screaming through your open window. That thing would drown out a 747 flying 10 feet over the car. The camera mic was probably going crazy just trying to not overmodulate with the civic's sound.

Still doesnt look like the cobra tried...but that civic can move thats for sure. I remember a video awhile back of a volvo station wagon. I think the vid title was like "overboosted" or something. That sucker would light up the tires at just about any speed.

Too bad we dont have a link to the vid from the civic. That'd probably show better.

I think that coupe has a boosted k series ( rsx motor) a stock k20 in a civic will run low 13 to high 12s so that coupe seemed quick
