Props on your guts to go all out.. but ya. one thing I've learned throughout theis last Decade in the scene is to... Use a Shell rather than a Nice new complete car to turn into a race car.

Im not allowed to disagree with you, or i will be deemed a "Hater" by all the people who cross-hate on me...

ah, **** it, ditch the d series, making 500hp on that motor will be alot harder then doign it on a b series, 2nd of all, if its a racecar, you can get a bigger turbo and a bigger motor. 3rd of all, 9's is alot harder then you make it out to be...

truthfully with those horsepower numbers that are expected out of this car, and at the average civic race car weight that he's going to probably weigh in at witch is around 1900 lbs... it is very much so more than posible for this car to make a 9 second pass and trap very well over 140 mph mark.. the only reason why he will probably not do it right away as soon as he brings the car out for the first time is TRACTION... once thats squared away.. we all know its nothing but uphill from there.

Maybe if he builds the car around hotrod class rules it would run 9's with 500whp but I don't see it doing it without wheelie bars.

Btw Ron your a HATER

I know of low 500whp with a T4 and 225+nitrous. I have also seen a dyno of 390 or so on a sc61.
