is it reaally that unbelieveable to most of you? Some civic's have mad work done to them and whoop alot of american muscle.. second of all, it doesnt matyter because if you do the ssame thing to the 8 cyl is gonna be alot faster anyways.. so. And that civ was boosted.. i assume the camaro was not, forced induction works wonders...

cheesefrog was also the one with the 2 door hatch a while back that ran with the 9 second bottle viper? Off the bottle of course but he pulled him on the highway for a short time, his 2 door was FAST, no doubt about it.

what is so hard to believe here? its? a turbo civic making about 320 to the ground. why did it beat the camaro? power to weight. they both make about the same power but the civic weighs a few hundred less. no arguement that civics cant be fast.

those who still argue cant face the facts that an ls1 can be beaten by a civic of all things.

From a roll, power-to-weight ratio and peak power, aren't nearly as important as the vehicles aerodynamics.

However, I agree with you that every once in a while some LS1 owners should eat a slice of humble pie, and recognize that there will ALWAYS be someone faster...

Fast is fast, but it`s still rice. Thats just not a real muscle car. The sound of a V8 is just plain sweet!

Mindless drivel has been snipped.

I'll take my two (count 'em.....TWO) pieces of Canadian plastic over Jap Crap anyday.

Moral of the story: Take a $3500 Civic and put $10,000 into the engine and you've got a really fast $3500 Civic. Woooooohoooooo!!!!!

While I agree that video doesn't look exactly right, these replies are just sad. Yes I own a camaro, yes I love it, and no I don't like civics, but there is no need to rag on this guy and call him a ricer if you can't even see his car. The only thing you could see was the inside which looked pretty stock, so I think you guys are just trying to make yourselves feel better by putting down on him.

The video may be fake, maybe not, the guy may even be a ricer, but don't just start making up stuff because you feel threatened... give credit where it's due.
