That isn't too crazy for a competent driver and someone who knows proper suspension and tires. My buddies CRX went 12.1 at 112 at SIR (5000' DA or so that day) with a stock D motor and a GT30R, with supporting fuel, tune, down pipe of course. No cam, no head studs, no race gas. Now for an 11.0, a better engine (re, b16 such as that video posted), better suspension, gearing (b16 trans is very aggressive vs a D motor trans), plus weight reduction, the right tires...you know, same type of supporting mods we do to our cars. Add e85 and a lot more boost because of that higher octane rating, it's not too surprising that car is running that well.
I agree with you though, isn't the max for the oem d-series rods something in the 250whp range?
My tuner's old ALL OEM (no ARP hardware and OEM headgasket) GSR made 4xxwhp for 3 years before going because of a valve dropping (cylinder walls, ringlands looked great when he tore it apart).
Have you seen the PFC hatch? Probably one of my favorite stock motor setups.
167k miles all oem motor running consistent mid 10s at 138. Before anyone says oh but its gutted blah blah blah the class qualifications stated that this car had to weigh in at atleast 2400lb's to pass inspection, which is around 200lbs more than what it should weigh from factory (with a/c p/s all that bullshit).

LoL your preaching to the wrong crowd bud. The cool car people appreciate any well built machine.
But in all honesty most Hondas run like **** and well built ones are rare. I see tons of people making **** tons of power but their cars never run well when it comes time to put it down.

Yeah i know, i just thought some people on here were open minded, just like i am.
Yeah man that's what im saying. Honda's appeal to broke *** teenagers who can't afford to do anything but making their cars look "cool" or don't know any better.
You know how many slow *** F-body's there are down here? Basically because no one knows wtf their doing and they are all autos. If i would've went by that i would've never bought my car.
lol that's terrible!

****, if I buy another F body, it will be auto, and the FIRST thing I'm doing is a 4k stall and gears. Mixed with a smallish cam...****, there was a guy here with that set up going 11.5x with a 1.4x 60', trapping 115 or so, stock 241s and a reverse split kinda small cam. on the bottle is MOVED.

i know all about that ****. my bolt on a4 car went 12.0s on a bad 60' and bent tq arm lol.
they are no fun on the street, though. this my car is slower at the track, but traps more and is WAY more fun to drive. i spend a LOT more time on the street than i do at the drag strip.

Say what? They are easy cars to mod even without tuning. Shiftpoints with a stall is the hardest part

To be honest im just going by what i see, down here everyone does **** half ***. Like a buddy of mine had a LS3 T/A with a big cam in it and ported ls3 heads (done by who knows what, and not even flowbenched) untuned he had the OEM ls1 injectors maxed out and he would race randomly till it detonated and knocked a rod out the side of the block. I know...retarded..
