This past weekend a buddy of mine took his STREET DRIVEN Civic coupe to KC for the import races. Here is what it did.

It's the white car in the right lane. Listen to the announcer. He says what it runs at the end of the video.
So, like I said before OP - don't feel bad getting beat. There are alot of rice slow Hondas but there are also a ton of quick street Hondas like ^ this one.

You guys should feel lucky you havent run into some of the hondas up here. My buddy has a stock looking 95 coupe with a bone stock integra gsr engine with 150k. Had a shop up here build a front mount turbo set up and they tuned it to 498whp at 21psi. He has maybe 3200 in the kit and tuning and the car at 19psi went 11.01 at 129

Yeah, but no matter how fast a car may be, some people here just can't get over the fact that it's not a domestic car. Funny how when the F-body vs. Mustang argument is going on it's "my car is faster so it's automatically better," but as soon as a fast import comes into the equation it's, "well I'd still rather have my car."

Honda builds nice cars for basic transportation or maybe if you like a nice weed eater or power washer. The sooner people learn this the better

Ahh, it sucks OP. It doesnt matter anyway. You will get over a lot of car if you get H/C Nitrous, but there will still be someone faster somewhere. Theres no end to this mod crazyness.
This thread reminds me of the 1500rwhp C5 corvette; very powerful but very ugly. With that said, I would take my stock looking SS over that ugly Vette anyday, or any crazy fast and gutted Civic in the world.
Its cool to have a fast car, but the original design and beauty will always stay the same or so. Any car can be modified to be better/bad looking or faster but in the end, its a matter of taste and attitude. If your dream is to drive a fast Honda, then be it. If your dream is to drive a powerful musclecar, then be it.

And your point is? This is a domestic site, dedicated to LSX powered vehicles. Of course we would rather own our cars. Do you expect people here to jump all over a pro Import stance? Civics are viewed as bottom of the food chain in the domestic world. Hell, they are viewed as bottom of the barrel by other Import owners. The sites that support Civics and Hondas in general are so full of mis-information with kids comparing who has the most racing stickers on their cars.

In fact I NEVER bash/dis/hate on Stangs like everyone else (well most anyway) on here. And I come from the era when there were none of your precious, sacred import nameplates around and it was ONLY Ford vs. Chevy vs. Mopar!!
In fact, IF the 03-04 Cobras were out when I bought my car, guess what I'd be 'rolling in' right now?!?!
As far as the latter part of that statement above, YES, I'll PROUDLY agree to that (as if that's a bad thing/negative )!!!

So, it was you!
Some kid has been ranting, everyone else has been laughing, at Club Si about beating a Z28 twice. He said the expression on your face was priceless.
Roll races aren't races. You've been a member at LS1Tech for less than 30 days. Now you know the true meaning for a 30 day wonder.

Since this is somewhat (fully?) directed at me; It's funny how I NEVER take the bolded stance above.

Civic won with a 12.1 @ 123 (approx) to the Vettes 12.7 @ 111 (approx). So the Civic was clearly the faster car. But it looked like crap, sounded like crap and hooked off the line like crap. I would take the Vette over that civic any day of the week and twice on Sunday.
You can make any car fast with enough money. I just prefer to do it with a car that I'm not embarassed to be seen in when I'm not at the track

Well a Vette to a Civic is no argument... the Corvette is a nicer more well-balanced car; a true sports car. I'd take even an LT4 C4 Vette over my car. Supra vs. F-body though? And the "support America" thing is null and void with both cars, since neither has been made for atleast half a decade.
Edit: And the "mine is faster so it's better" thing came from the incessant Mustang vs. F-body argument.

Faster does not mean better. I was at the track last season when a C6 Vette raced a hatchback Civic. The Civic was gutted of all interier except the drivers seat and it clearly had a big turbo. The C6 was showroom stock as far as I know.

gsr, what trans do you run? You do alot of high speed runs correct? Wouldn't the gsr trans be to shortly geared for that? And I don't even want to know how much your built engine was..lol. What is your current power level? I havn't seen your posts or videos in a long *** time.
