I agree. If I have had a bunch of $ to dump street race car it would be something like this. Nice having a vette, but a lot of the time I think it would be fun to have a car that just surprises the **** out of people. I have few buddies in a town nearby that do there own efi live tunning and build custom turbo kits. They are brothers and both have chevy Silverado trucks that trap 130mph+ in the 1/4 mile. Badass sleepers

His point was it was an all our race civic gutted to its fullest. It had holes drilled in the rear bumper for **** sake lol. Against a full interior car with full comfort creatures, reliability, and a/c. Was a really cool race though either way. I bet a lot of Honda guys out there jerk it to this every day.
These cars are local to me, like ive said many times before alot of civics around here aint a joke.

Sorry man but the car does not gain much from being gutted this is a car that comes FULLY equiped and weighs 2500lbs how much do you think back seats and plastic panels weigh? Seriously the cage makes up for it AND THEN SOME.

Are you serious? I own a Honda civic lol. The interior is pretty god damn heavy. Especially the seats. And when you start drilling holes you can take out a good chunk of weight. I wouldn't doubt if they had 800lbs taken out of that car as it looks they dropped and drilled everything possible. That cage aient **** compared to what they removed

Have you ever personally gutted out a civic or worked on a civic for that matter? BTW the speed holes aren't intended for weight savings they're intended to let air through the bumper. Guys have done back to back runs and have dropped ET.
Been there done that with my frends SI hatch, gutted, chopped, stripped, and plexi sun roof delete. The biggest weight savings was the sunroof everything else wasn't even worth removing. LMAO 800lbs lmao

As angry as I'd be having the ZR1 it's nice to see a decent running Honda for once.
I mean he was spinning his first 2 gears and still pulling lol. Good run.
A lighter car with 150whp more better win lol!

So...if all the interior doesnt matter in terms of weight savings then why remove the radio/hvac? That sound is atrocious, at the very least I would want some music to drown it out.
