EF Civic vs 405whp C5 vette This is my boys EF Civic - it was LSV Turbo (stock internals)... There were 3 people in the Civic (front passenger is the tuner who is a large guy) after a bit of tuning. Civic was only on 6 psi. 
The vette owner followed them and pulled up to ask what was done - he was downright SHOCKED. He said he had 405rwhp and was impressed.

Oh I stand corrected it was all GSR, i completely forgot!
Coulda been one of those SLP "power packs" and the guy went off the hp advertised. Which to me would make more sense as well.

And that c5 weighs about 3100lbs..civic has three passengers that probably equals or is close to the c5's weight. Im telling you that civic is not running 6lbs of boost or that c5 is not making the power he is claiming...

Ummm....i don't know what to say.
Civics usually have short gears, and that thing took a weekend to get through 4th. It didn't look fast, and on 6psi it shouldn't be.
Auto c5s have 2.x gears and trap what, 105?

Lots of guys out there don't even know the difference between crank and rear wheel horsepower, so that wouldn't surprise me in the least. Though I also don't buy that only 6psi (aprx. 40% boost in power over N/A) would be enough to take down a 405rwhp 3100lb vette. However, there is no doubt that he beat him, and with 3 passengers to boot is impressive.

Negative, def had boltons - thats minimum facts.
This is when it was running about 12 or 13 psi.. against my Camaro.. IIRC I was running 560/595 in this race. ( note the popping sound.. he already cracked a couple ringlands.. after the race it was all white smoke

Apparently u missed my previous post
He had an LS transmission at the time which is retarded long gears.
It's def 6 pounds - u don't hear a darn thing from the turbo, just can hear the vtec. They were out street tuning it when they ran into the vette.

Not everyone likes 13 mpg and cost of parts more than a state colleges tuition. He loves the car, I love the car - it's a one of a kind. Stop hating
The only **** box I know of is what's between your ears.
Thanks bro!

Oh you are 1 of those idiots. Sorry, he isn't planning on racing anyone from Virginia through a Post war. You could beat my bicycle right now too, but I don't give a ****.

Wow, you are absolutely retarded. Let me make it easier for your hick brain to comprehend:
Notice how I said, (not literally) "oh hey you guys may be right. Might be an older gentleman confused about what he has, etc." My friends knew he had an exhaust MINIMUM. So, I'm sure it very well could be a bolton vette. From what they told me, it was a manual as well.
Just because it's not something you believe, or because you simply hate 'imports' - you don't have to be the biggest ***** I've ever run into over the net.
Oh and before I forget, GTOs are ugly and slow boats
