Sports cars don't belong on a drag strip so I really don't know what his point was.

I know of at least 1 gt35r/2.0L car that went low 10's and I think that was at 2500 pound race weight. I also know of numerous others that are in the 10's. Keep talking, your ignorance is showing.
lol.

Um... did you see the video?
Oh, and you ask why someone would do all that work to a Honda? Because you can find cocky people that believe stuff like this:
and then promptly take their money because they have no clue.

MAINLY I think your car is a total piece of **** and a waste of time effort money and for what???? so you can run down stock gtos and still not beat them.
i just dont understand why you would do that to a civic i can understand mabey a lil work done and a correct sized turbo but come on 60mph roll!!!!! lol.
civic does not = sports car consider the name honda gave it.
YOU SIR ARE ON THE EDGE TRYING TO KEEP UP WITH STOCK F-BODIES AND GOATS.

Im not saying that a well built properly sized turboed civic with the right mods that doesent lag and make 80hp under the curve and peaks 500hp lol im shure that would be fun around a road course....
Theres no replacement for displacement.

That car looks stupid...And theres allot of restrictions for the nhra top fuel engines that limit what can and cannot be used compared to your no rules integra.
WERE talking about street drivin cars here... not 7 second sheled hondas. oh and top fuel race cars make well over 6000 hp more closer to 9000.

There have only been 2 Honda's to go 7 seconds or quicker. Steph Eggum (posted above) and Steph Papadakis in a Pro RWD car.
That funny car is something like a 4.0L and the motor has no resemblance to a Honda block.
The Sport FWD cars posted above are making around 850whp. I can't think of many Honda's making 1,000whp so it's far from common and definitely not easy as a fuel/turbo upgrade.

Only 6000hp lol.that is estimated there is not even a dyno that can handle that...
They could make more but it would be usless they already have to slip a clutch all the way down the track just to keep traction.

BTW Like I said... you need to do some research before you post. Norwood racing used the same restrictions including 10 percent nitro. Also thats some good **** you are smoking
Top fuel cars make between 6 and 7000hp depending on what they think the track will hold and how much clutch the crew chief wants to give it. I'm not trying to start a war... just trying to get you guys to stop spreading missinformation.... and stop being so closedminded!!!

2) Even if it were true, it wouldn't matter. The car has nothing in common with a Honda. The builder even said in the new story about it that the ONLY Honda part on the entire vehicle was the Integra badge they slapped on the back of it.
3) The car is using a lot of things that are entirely illegal for top fuel dragsters (namely, turbos and EFI). So, your comparison of what this engine might put out and what top fuel V8s put out is totally bogus.
Oh, and for the record... I knew when I saw the story on that car that I would eventually bump into some dipshit rice-rocket-driving douche who would bring this up and parade it around because they thought it would somehow legitimize their grocery-getting frankenstein vehicle which has no business in the performance automotive world.

his car also has twice as much invested in it than Gauge's car. its a shame when you people (ricers) have to dump thousands into these economey cars just to be on par with our stock cars. and to think this actuality hasent turned you away from the, taking a slow car and making it average scene. wake up to V8 domestics, take a fast car and make it faster.
EDIT: i see you are talking about the franken-**** looking POS that someone wasted their time and money in to try to make it seem that ricers are end all. read my response as it were the civic in the GTO video.
