Coulda been done cheaper imo... But for no motor swap high 14s ain't bad at all.


for 12k u could have a civic running 10s without a swap....

anyone remember that video that was put up... guess it was about two years ago now, but it was a very small brown car with a big V8 in it. It was doing some kind of a road course with really tight curves and stuff, kind of like they do with the police bikes.
I think it was a ford... but my brain isn't working right now.
Anyone know what I'm talking about?

All weight reduction :p

But I think he's looking for something people won't expect.



lol, that's all I could think of at the time. Mother of an ex had one. Leaked a quart a day and ate all the other large bodies in town for breakfast.


at the drag strip one night there was a raggety looking fox body that they used a tobacco stick to prop the hood up with. paint was in bad shape and everything nothing looked good. damn thing ran a 10 something in the quarter mile. it can be a pony car and a sleeper with the right look

You'd still be running a fucking civic though..

My talon only has about 8k put into it and it runs mid/low 11's

He was using that as an example of how badly berg's car puts out for the money invested.

Reading comprehension is your friend.

At which point in my post do you see my reading comprehension as failing?
He mentioned running a 10second civic for 12k, I replied with the fact that you'd still be running a civic.
You, my dearest friend, are a moron.
