RE: Got roasted by a K20 swapped civic
I used to run boosted civic swap hatches all the time and from a roll they would pull real hard
and get the jump on me til about 110-120ish, then I would reel them in and put about half
a car on them,from a dig though I'd put about a car or two and keep them off.
Not sure but alot of them that I ran(and most untuned kits/8-9psi) were running
the standard t3/4 turbos so it's kinda big for their motors without supporting fuel mods.
It may get the boost from the powerband they have (vtech) from a roll but takes awhile
for things to get going from a dead stop.
That was all in my old stage 2 SRT-4 and I would whoop on this one particular crew
that were all boosted swapped civics lol.Don't think they liked me very much.
I am pretty sure I'd get raped by those same cars in my stock GT...[&:]

I wouldn't be surprised if it was over 200whp. In a car that weights 800-1000lbs less than a V6 S197, that's going to be fast. I rode in a 2500lbs Civic with a boosted D16 with only 200whp and it felt as fast if not faster than my GT.

RE: Got roasted by a K20 swapped civic
i was on the freeway late one night back when I first bought my car when a civic came flying up... I recognized the hatch shape, so I thought what the hell
shifted into 3rd at 60... but he passed me like I wasn't doing anything [:@]
of course, that was when i was stock... I wonder how much better my mods have helped me. Probably not much haha
Time to HIT THE TRACK!

Respectable loss! Hey don't feel to beat up though, I lost to a primered, early 90's hatch that looked and sounded like a$$! That was my first loss in the stang, and one I won't soon forget[:@]
