Your info is off..... a civic making 550whp will run mid to low 10's depending on what sized slicks he can afford. My nearly 3000 pound integra will run high 10's with that much power... as I am going to prove next friday......... hopefully before I get kicked off!!!

The last time i saw a supposed "500 FWHP" civic was on this guy's trailer... it had no nothing in it, no hood... basically a seat and a steering wheel. Had a turbo on it... and ALL kinds of spare parts to go along with it... had a transmission with him... a few half shafts... all kinds of stuff.

I know 2 guys running 9's on stock axles. If you preload the car there is less shock to the drivetrain as opposed to dumping it. He gets quite a few passes outta them this way. Funny though that now they snap going into 2nd instead of at the hit.

A friend of mine had a Civic hatch that ran mid 10s, he was making 650 whp. The damn thing was NASTY from a roll. He was only beat once and that was to a sprayed Hayabusa. It trapped almost 150 mph.

You do know that this thread is older then you are right???? And my stickers do add like 500 hp...... oh wait.... I don't have any stickers..... then it must just be the giant turbo I have under the hood!!!!
