cheers :) |

the car looks good......although you may wanna buy an extra front end cause it will get damaged one day.......
Driving down the road on a dark night and out of no where a cat lays in the middle of the road and screws it all up......
Had that happen to a friend and now he driving around town w/ no front bumper..... |

You're saying your 1.8L tuned GSR engine & FWD Civic, can take a 2002 3.2L 333HP RWD M3.
I'd love to see it. |

HP doesnt always mean a car is fast in the 1/4 mile....look at most Ferraris...i think the Ferrari 355 runs a high 13 second time in the 1/4 mile..something like 13.7
NOW...i know plenty of kids with Honda Civics, Integras and WRXs that will blow the doors of that...by a long shot... i know a guy with a Mustang who runs high 8 seconds in the 1/4 mile....
so dont think jus cus of the name and the horsepower of the car that it is generally fast in a drag race...most of those cars are built for high end racing...meaning over 70MPH..not from a dead stop down the 1/4 |

Ok fine, I'll get into details. Your FRONT WHEEL DRIVE Civic can take a REAR WHEEL DRIVE (6SPD Manual Tranny) M3 with 333HP @7900RPM and 262lb-ft torque @4900RPM? (1/4 in 13.5@105)
I wasn't trying to imply horsepower wins everything. I asked you if your N/A Civic can beat a 2002 M3 in the 1/4 mile. |

YES it can in the 1/4 mile..not by much and i have to be driving my best...but yes i have..but i have also lost...it depends on how i drive and how the other guy drives.......i can also almost beat a Ferrari 355...i MIGHT be able to if i was running slicks..
like i said those cars are HIGH END...that 6speed tranny wont get past 4th most of the times in a 1/4 mile race...
and jus cus u READ it does high 13s..doesnt mean it actually does...those times are done by a proffesional driver not you and I...and the driver makes a HUGE difference...trust me |

I can completely understand the fascination of souping a car up. You have the feeling that the car is Unique, and yours alone. Tiesto14s car is no longer a Civic per se, because of the work he has done to it. It has become a completely unique car. Which is cool, if your into that sort of thing.
Personally, I dont mind import cars much, but I myself wouldnt soup my car up.
Furthermore, I think a lot of the people that mod their cars go overboard. I think if Tiesto14 did more to his car than he already did, he would be going overboard too (hence why Im glad he said no decals, cause decals are dirty). His car is a nice car, and I believe that on occasion he can beat M3s and Porches. But, give a guy with an M3 or a Porsche the same money to put into thier cars, and they would own. |
