Got roasted by a K20 swapped civic
Tuesday night...this kid surprised the **** out of me. I would have taken him, but of course, he went out and got a race tune that day.
We went from a dig and 2 rolls (I didn't expect the rolls to come out in my favor regardless of the tune). From the dig, we both launched hard, and I was pulling on him while spinning. We got to about 40 mph, he shifted, and took off like a rocket! (friggin v-tech) He had probably 7 cars on me by 100.
Rolls, nothing special, we both punched it and he left me haha
But wow, I was genuinly surprised. I definitly have a new respect for Honda's. (certain engines anyway)

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.

I've ridden in my friend's Chevy Sprint w. the I3 engine... seems like you're going fast even when you're only at like 60Km/h. That and he holds first to the point I think the whole car is going to blow up.
