I saw this a week ago. Very nice runs! That civic has an insane 3rd gear pull.

Nice runs! Don't worry that Honda motor will take a dump or the tranny will wad itself up... then It's back to rebuild drawing board. I'm in the peace-O-mind-power crew.

Yep, those civics weigh nothing, that's why they are so fast with such little horsepower.

True, but fortunately (or unfortunately depending on how you look at it), he can probably rebuild the motor and tranny for for less than what it cost to put headers and an exhaust on an ISF...lol

Yep but I bet in the civic's cockpit it felt like a spacecraft entering the earth's atmosphere.

Even though the ISF lost, he can make a right go on his way pick up a hot date and take her out to a nice evening on a luxury car cant do that on a gutted civic but 4bangers can move, bet that's a k24 with a huge turbo

The ISF needs an equalizer, nitrous. Then the race would've been a different story. I've built some very high horsepower Hondas and man, the power to weight ratio is nothing to be slept on.
