That's great and all, but in my opinion you cant beat the massive amount of torque that a V8 has. In addition, you can pick up a 13sec mustang for 3-4000. How much do you have to spend to make a 4cyl get down to that time?

i've never understood people bragging about a 30 pounds boost 1.6 liter that only makes power from 7800-8400 and about 200 ft.-torque. sure, it makes 450 peak hp. but even at 2500 pounds, it only runs mid 13's at best.
just doesn't impress me.

My buddies LS/Vtec turbo made 378 whp and 300wtq (IIRC on torque) on wastegate spring pressure of 11psi and ran an 11.7 first time to the track on that set up. Also, the power was made from 4.2k rpms to 8.2k. Car is capable of 9-9.2k rpms or there about. Not to be a dick, but it sounds like you don't know very much about imports, or 4 cylinder turbo cars in general.

I'm not exactly sure I know what your talking about or getting at but How is 450whp out of a blown V8 more impressive than getting it out of a 4 cylinder? The GTO owner could say he can make that power NA with some cams and an exhaust (correct me if I'm wrong). Not trying to take away anything from the cobra or anything, I'm just saying. It's all relitive I guess.

i wouldnt call all civics ricers, there re some bad@ss civic that would Tear you a new one. Its just matter of preference. And please dont come with the smart argument "Yeah they can be fast but at the end of the day still a civic" Why dont we just respect every other performance car like you would like others to respect yours even if it is slow 
Btw this post was addressed to no-body lol
