Problem with the extra power on that car is that the brakes are teeny tiny and they heat up and fade fast. The motor swap is cool, but overall package isn't really where it's at.

What kind of B18 are we talking about? LS? GSR? ITR? I would think that in a car that light, you could run better than mid-13s with one of the VTEC motors. Unless, of course, traction just flat-out sucks. But trap speed would still be insane.
