Default Me vs turbo k20 civic
My GTO 443/429 vs a k20 swapped civic with a 30r on 12psi. Owner is estimating low 400whp. The second 60 roll he jumped a bit. All races were to 130, you can hear him hit the limiter in 5 th on the second run. Enjoy.

Nice runs! The 50 roll was a good spot for both of you.

IMO though, the GTO seemed to be pulling on the top end even on those runs where he fell behind. If the races went longer, the GTO would have pulled.

I either really like the color of your car or really don't like it. Why can't I tell?

Good races!

Haha I don't know. I like it. I think the black wheels really accent it but looks are purely subjective. And I would say I was pulling a bit up top. Good races for sure.

Your car would be nasty with more weight out of it, def a strong runner.

Damn good runs. GTO runs strong. Couldn't even hear the honks in the vid on the 2nd run.

Jack/spare, v brace, skid plate, rear seat delete. Car with an 1/8 tank is 3480 and I'm a little over 220.

Damn, 3480 in a GTO is pretty damn good. Nice runs and very nice looking Goat you have there!

Thanks! If I get coil overs and racing seats it will be 3400 even. That will help.
