    Also when you buy a vehicle in Ga. as long as you have insurance on it you have 30 days to get a tag.

    not hard to believe at all. there are plenty of us that have daily driven 5-600hp street hondas for years, thats what i did with my white car and plan to do it again sometime in the near future. What year is the car? OBD2 is a little more of a hassle i believe than obd1 cars to "pass". Easiest thing is registering the car with a relative in a county without emissions, i don't know if you can still do the p.o. box thing or not. What are some specs on the car, maybe with that we could guess if the power claim is even plausible.

    Oh I know it is very possible but 95% of the time you hear of a 400 rwhp Civic someone is blowing smoke. No different than most kid's that claim to have 400 rwhp Mustang or Camaros. Nothing against the make, just the absence of proof.

    They quit doing the P.O.thing a while back unless you can show proof of residency like a power bill, phone bill, etc in your name at that address. Haven't investigated in a while so not 100% sure either way.

    so true
    i went to school with this kid who drove a mustang and all he ever did was talk about how it had 400 hp. it was completely stock and i think it was like a 97' or 98'. he never did prove it but he claims it had that

    Not to be an ass, but if you here anyone making a claim about a 400 Rwhp civic, there is a 100000% chance they are bsing... find me a RWD civic please. However, 400 WHP is plausible... not often as a DD, but yes found.

    Good point but you don't have to beg, I can find ya several RWHP Civic's that run deep into the 9's and some much faster. Hell I know one that would slaughter any car on here but that is a rarity as far as the rwhp goes.

    Of course you caught me in a goof up so I give ya credit for that one. I should have said at the tires since it is more than likely a FWD in this instance.

    Just for fun here is a quick clip of Danny's car from Ware Shoals. He brought it to Bugday last year and this thing is a freaking beast.

    Here is one from Bugday last year when his wheelie bar bolt broke in 1/2. Wild Ride for sure but he was fine enough to fix it and make several more passes after that.

    Not that I know of. I don't see Danny going to any Nopi events but it is possible.

    400 RWHP CIVIC?? :P

    really though, the OP claims to be able to handle this much power to its full potential on the streets... good luck. when i first was deciding what i wanted my first car to be i got in a friends z06 with a bottle and if it wasnt for it being a manual and throwing it into neutral when i almost lost control i probably wouldve killed myself and the car haha.
