Meh...It would need alot more power than 190whp and 120ft-lbs for me to rock that "sleeper". I'm sure it is very quick due to the fact that its prolly like 2000lbs (maybe not I don't know how much civics weigh) but it would also get beat by alot of cars on the street nowadays. Maybe if you took it back to 1991 it might be the cats pajamas.

true, but the whole reason why i posted this because of the insane lengths he went to to keep the car as stock as possible. 4-speed shift knob? tach-less cluster with shift light in the vent? black painted suspension? hubcaps over lightweight rims?

yeah its not the fastest honda ever, but i think its one of the coolest ive seen.

The car weighs in at 2050 lbs with a full tank of gas.
By doing some basica calculations with different weights, etc. This car could possibly be a high 12 second to low 13 second quart mile car. I could see that smoking A LOT of things on the road today

The original paint is perfect. You must have missed the point.

ITR engine and trans. 190whp, GC coilovers and Konis, Lovefab crossmember, wilwood brakes and a carbon fiber hood (yes, the above car has a carbon fiber hood, and it's painted on both sides) and a boatload of other goodies. Even the CD player is hidden. It went 13.6 with 16 less hp.

The only dumb flashy thing he ever did was put it on the internet.

I'd like to see you race him in the 9-2X Watch the vide of him beating up on the 911. Ever been in a Rabbit with 190 HP? Same type of deal...shit a Rabbit with a 115 HP X-flow is crazy fast.
