Hell until i upgraded my turbo my car didnt even have 6-8k in it...not that it matters but mod for mod v8s outperform i4s its the simple truth.
I made a generic statement. Making 210-220whp in a 2000lb EG is about fast enough to outrun almost anything light to light. did i say it will beat every car? nope.

But g37s, STI, EVO, old men in C6 base models, c5 Z06, 03 Cobras, foxbodies, NSX, S2000, blah blah blah i would stack moselys car up agaisnt any of them if he were sitting at a stop light and one of those rolled up.

Now of course if someones modded AWD EVO rolls up making 500whp, obviously that is not the average car. But i can tell you that RARELY happens. MOST people that flex at a stoplight are average joes, not the seasoned track star.


Now as far as the v8 vs 4 cylinder.....2 totally different cars, and i wouldnt bitch if 1 called me out. I wouldnt race for money. but id race it.

Id bet most hondas have more money IN THEM when compared to the price of the car. I mean a C6 Z06 can have $10,000 in mods, but its a $50,000 car. A 92 civic is worth $1500, and most guys have prob at least $5000-6000 in them if they are any type of fast lol. thats well known.

To most people its an ego thing, they dont want to say "i have $12,000 in my EG, and it runs 12s" because id much rather have a $12000 C5 vette that runs 14s, than a 12000 Honda civic haha
