Default Wanna know your horsepower?

I'm not sure how accurate this is, but it will give you guys some idea of how many ponies you have.

Found another link...I think this is a better one...got trap speed horsepower calculation too.

If I could get a DX Civic down to 550 lbs with me in it, I'd be able to bust 11.5's all day with the stock motor. Hmmm....

Horsepower Results - 1/4 Mile Method

Your honda civic weighs about 2800 pounds and can complete a 1/4 mile in about 13.4 seconds. That means that you've got about 230.00 HP at the wheels, and about 299.00 HP at the flywheel.


I actually have 220 HP at the wheels. It was fairly accurate.
