The civic won. You could see the sign light up at the end of the track. That is a pretty fast little civic.

yea buddy, the Camaro let off the gas because she wanted it to look like she got an *** whipping by a 1.9L 4 banging Honda!

Its a GSR B18C1 with a PT70 (Straight T4) making over 600 to the wheels!
It traps over 140mph, which is why it ran down the Camaro after getting killed at the tree... 1.9 60' 111mph 1/8th mile!

And no its not 1 in 10,000,000, theres quite a few around now days. I know because I have built some of them.

It weighs over 2400lbs with driver.

Not to mention it recently made the 250 mile trek home after a second place win against a Pro car that did weigh 1900lbs with driver.

wow, and congrats to him. He is still in a honda, and not to mention that car looked like rat *** as well. It is very fast.

let me weigh out the options here. Rice, trapping at 140 or ronnie dukes car and it weighs over 3700 pounds, being a full interior convertable and running a solid 8.5 at 160+mph.

or Dan Millens riced out power locks and windows rustang running a slow 7.17 at 200 mph. we will never beat rice, domestics = slow imports running a 10 at 140 = WIN!!

OK, again... 1.9L 4Cyl. VS Big *** V8 with at least 3 times the motor (probably 4). BTW this car is full interior too!

10.67 is the best the car has run so far, and its spinning hard in 4th gear!

You guy's say you wouldnt want one... untill you ride in one like this... it would change your mind really fast. Besides, I have a 93 Z28 383LT1 turbocharged that is going to make 1000hp to the tires if I could ever catch up on all the customers that want me to build them fast Honda's. So I know what you guys are saying, I've been there too!

Still wouldn't want one. Front wheel drive, no matter how fast, is not my thing.
Even worse, a 10 second car that can't be driven straight without a few prayers.

Yeah, I would be scared too

Really, the people who drive those hatches should be really brave - I'll give them that, those things fly off the road in a heart bit, ask me how I know

RICER EXCUSE!!!

Yeah... I still wouldn't want to be seen driving a civic. I really don't care how fast it is. IF I am going to have a fast FWD car, then it would probably be a VW. I would still take american muscle and RWD anyday.
