Well, if i had the timeslip scanned I'd show you. But i ran a 16.8 against a turbo'd civic, and beat it by a second.....and he was running at 11 psi. I about died laughing when he said that. So, if they aren't tuned, they're gonna run like pigs, but I'm not sure what year his was.

But as far as power, I'd say all you'd need is a gerbil and its running wheel

It Depends on a number of things like how much hes boosting, other mods and a good tune. As much as i hate civics some(and by some i mean VERY VERY few) are pretty fast(rember this is still for a civic). I have a friend with a 97 ex w/ a H22 Motor with some other mods( like full 3in exhaust, and a Intake) and runs on GT's. But in the end civics even if they win a race, still lose cause its still a CIVIC!!!!!

most turbo civics i see run 14.3s ive or take a couple tenths. with a v6 you need to build the motor and put in a manual tranny, if you launch hard 12s are in it

If he gets a turbo, then shouldn't you have one...or two?

I honestly don't get the import idea of relying on power adders. Do they not realize that we can s/c, turbo, or spray also?

i agree i hate it when people are like give me 10 thou and ill build a civic that will outrun outhandle and outeverythin a 50 thou corvette... well number one .. thats b/s number two put that remaining 95( after you buy the pos civic) and put it into the vette.. now what happens... number three .. all they (ricer owners) would spend 10 thou on is maybe a exhaust/intake system and like 30,000 stickers and graphics and a chameleon paint job with matchin wheels


if you really want to embarass him .. do an engine swap and put your lawn mower engine in you mustang... have way more tq... lol jk

I dunno man, I might go with Nike's here just to be safe. But, so long as they're laced well and you aren't wearing baggy jeans, you should be fine either way.
