522 whp in a street going Civic. 11.12 on street tires and a full interior. Not too shabby for an econobox.

Holy ****! That thing sounded incredible! I've never heard anything so damn loud before. That was insane.

I know I've read about that car before. It participates in street races, no? I'm almost positive that's the green hatch I've heard about numerous times on supraforums.I think it might even be in a video, or two, I have racing against a white Supra from a dead dig.

Thank you very much for posting that video. If you have, or know where I could find, more please post them.

There are a few other vids here

I recall seeing a thread on a Honda board about that car, with a **** load of pics, but i can't find it. I know it's got a built B18C with a huge ass turbo, but that's about it. Wouldn't surprise me if it's that same car you're talking about, though.

very loud, but very pointless. all that power to the front wheels will make it oversteer like mad.

i'd take a car with half the power and FR any day.

edit: yes clearly i meant understeer, NOT oversteer

How is it pointless? It does what it was built to do - haul ****ing ass. And, uh, I think you mean understeer.

Obviously you've driven a lot of 400+hp FWD cars, didn't you? If you did, you'd know they'd induce understeer, not oversteer. And you'd also know that they don't produce that much more understeer than a regular car under regular driving, and under acceleration (if you don't stick your foot to the floor in 3rd gear at 60 mph in a curve, you won't notice that much of a difference. But then again, who's dumb enough to floor it in the middle of a curve... probably someone as shallow as you.)

This car is still pretty mild for what it is... Not really that powerful, considering some people get close to 4 figure hp numbers with those compact Honda B-Series motors.

Since when do dragstrips have sharp turns?
To pull 11's in any street car is impressive.
To do it in a front-driver is d*** impressive.

ok i'm sorry it was a typo. i drive an FF car myself and of course they produce understeer. i can't get any oversteer no matter WHAT i do.

my car has about 60hp, maybe 70... and going around any turn when you are trying to take it quickly, if u so much as touch the accelerator you get understeer. i shudder to think what happens in the civic. maybe if you have super wide tyres its reduced, but there's a good reason why no decent race cars are FF.
