so basically n/a 4 bangers blow *** and are tapped out.
oh a 400whp integra is sick...compared to what?
a 380hp ls1 in that same integra is better.
a ls1 in a sdtock fiero is "sicker".
i've seen drag pintos (without v8s)..does that mean ****? no just like bull**** civics (or shells of civics) in their little cushioned classes.
v8 japanese or european or american still rule in the power/powerband/milage/emissions department.
why is the koenigsegg not a 4 cyl? LMAO
as far as imports, a 6 with a poweradder can compete, since it's just emulating a those extra 2 cylinders.
of course the bigger the CID, the bigger turbo can be spooled, so in the end the 6s get the shatf as well.

Well... a car that i will be racing did 10.24@141mph last week 
That is a 4 cylinder turbo 35psi + 150 (IIRC) n2o galant vr4... completely stripped...
The car is totally purpose built.. so to beat that one has to go purpose built too... or have more cubes
Its fast and yes its "respected" but the thing is that that car doesn't resemble a street car anymore.. it CANNOT be driven in the streets. It can idle for too long and it doesn't have a/c.. imagine yourself in a traffic jam where pavment temps reach 200F!!!! w/o A/C in a 1hour jam??? WOAA!!!!
Can i beat him?? sure i can... and i can still be streetable where he isn't.

Hey Z28wannaB, so dose that guy have really have a shop?
I've seen "350hp" civics race over not very impressive at all, like a big bad fire work that is a dud.
When I see a real 350hp car race it's like over here because you don't see cars that power full over here very often.
If a "350hp" civic raced a real 350hp car they would get killed so bad. The civics only race each other over here most of the time the only way for them to get a fair race.
Who would build a civic over here (any way about 1/2 of them are other americans go figure) when you can get GTR's, RX7's, s13's, supras, 180Z's and more?
Theres plenty for every one, too.
If I cared any would I get a nice n/a 1.6L fwd or a turbo charged real wheel drive like a 180Z or an RX7?
I drive a pos toyota 1.8L 5-speed over here and funnel my $'s to my camaros back home.
