just as the title says, i was wondering if i could get some ballpark figures on what to expect from a civic with say 275 hp. I'm interested in a full interior say 99 hatch, light wheels like rotas street tires and turbo charged if that makes a difference. i was just wondering how that would do. thanks

 

Theoretically:

If you had exactly 275 whp and your car weighs 2600 pounds which is probably close then you would be approximately 111 mph at the end of the quarter mile.

Best I can do.

info from: High-performance Honda builder's Handbook volume 1 by Joe Pettitt page 137.

 

sorry you said hatch.

275 whp - 2400 lbs = 114 mph in 1/4 mile

 

thanks for the reply, so that would compute to like high twelves?

 

too many variables. go to the Drag Racing forum or <u><FONT COLOR="red">Search</u></FONT>.
