RE: 431hp Civic hatch vs. GT
ORIGINAL: 2000GT4.6
The 03 went 11.40s/11.50s on the 75 shot with a 1.75 60'. He has been as low as (i think) an 11.50/11.60 on blower only but with a slightly (1.70?) 60'.
its a handful and a half, and the civic was right there.
Forget the TQ numbers, they mean nothing to that little car. Hell, for 400+ in a civic its all in the top of the band anyway. They make a ton of power up top, and stay there thruout the race, so the 200 ft/lbs doesn't mean anything anyway
I'm not calling bs on the results of the race, only what power its acutallly making. 430 WHP in a civic that wieghs probably 2000 pounds... its just ugly from a roll.
Look at the power/weight ratio. Your car is probably close to tipping the scales at 3500 pounds (with the IRS, nitrous, etc etc). At 475 your at 7.36 pounds/horsepower, compared to his 4.65 pounds/horsepower.... Thats just nasty.

I would put money on me vs a 50x/50x 03 cobra. I like 475/575 better than 500/500. But w/e.
This car has been sold around a couple of times to different people(one a personal friend), and Its always been a 430hp civic. Its a street racing legend around here. He said he lagged, which could have been the case, but what could I do? lol. I wanted a dig, he picked a 40 roll? I raced it and won. From a dig it would have been NASTY for him.
I'll get him to bring out his dyno sheet, and a full mod list, and get this on camera.
Yeah, they are lighter, but 40rwhp and 200+ft-lbs of torque is pretty hard to overlook.

I hate to say it ZW, but somebody (the civic) is bsing their WHP numbers, or just cannot drive
There is a local guy with a not fully (but real close) gutted civic making like 403 WHP. He has raced one of the local 03 cobra guys with exhaust, intake, pulley,tune, and ported blower. The cobra put down 50x/50x on blower only (he also runs a shot) and on blower only the civic and him trade off wins from a low/medimum roll.
You don't want to know what would happen to your car vs said cobra... it gets ugly, I found that out
