    I highlighted the part that Honda will never have no matter how much money you spend.

    wrong ,hondas with sohc's have passed that mark long ago and for not as much money as you might think,hondas can make big power too. 551whp/355tq @ 25psi believe it...

    this car later went on to make 608whp with stock sleeves and a budget bottom end build eagle rods and vitaras no block guard.

    I liked them when I was like 15-16. Growing up a little, I appreciate nicer cars...and a Civic, no matter how modified, is still a Civic. I don't understand why someone would swap motors, turbo, all just to break 14's in a quarter mile. That's not fast. Why not buy a faster car to start out with?

    Note that I'm not speaking anything about my car or how cool it is... I know it's "just another Z" and I know it's slow and I know it handles like shit etc etc haha

    to help you understand the performance mod thing,for me it was about the challenge,easy to build a big fast v8 or v6 but when you build a 4cyl that will eat a v8's ass for dinner well thats something to be proud of.

    i got bored with 350's and 302's and 455's hondas challenged me to me they are still like little toys kinda funny,when you open he hood and see a sohc killa,there is just something about being the underdog and knowing your gonna win the fight. and break 14's we did that shit 10 years ago there are sohc's runnin 9's man
    yes i am....

    You know what I meant, lol. I just think it makes more sense to start out with a faster car, and mod it from there... a sub-10 second car is hard to get no matter what you start out with (for the most part)
