The conversation pertained to cars that are still cars, as in could pick up your girl and her two friends and not be embarrassed that they are sitting on a sheetmetal floor. Interiors...comfort...livability...and still sub-13 second passes onan n/a 4-banger are hard to come by.
That's the only thing I was getting at. Congrats to all the kids with an aluminum shell with a 180 whp engine. Ok, so they are kinda quick. But if a shopping cart runs into the car, chances are you will die. Sounds like real quality stuff.
Calm down mr big bad drag va. A 12 sec every day car is not hard to build is what im saying all hondas are tin cans thats why they go fast with little power. Most of the people do not know how to drag race street or track thats why you dont see the fast times not because they dont have the power or they have full interior. I think alot of people are scared of the track because it dosent lie there is none of the he cheated street racing bull shit.I tried to type a little better for you hope that makes you happy.

I still disagree, though. I feel that it is just not feasible that MANY n/a 4-bangers are getting to the 12's with full interior. Your argument is that most of them can, but the majority of them can't drive? Bologna. They can't because there's just not enough torque to get a loaded car down the track in time. Period.
I disagree with you MerF. With slicks, you can get a crx, coupe, or hatch down the 1/4 mile in 12 seconds with less than 215whp. Look at Scott (ZEROpsi) above.
