but no seriously a 400hp hatch would run low mid - low 11s right? its still gay its still a honda, a little piece of shit that is meant to get good gas mileage and you will never get your money out of it after dumping shit loads into headgaskets etc..

nissan is better, toyota is better, inline is better, RWD, is better, you think im joking? get one and you will see why a Real sports car is RWD and a sports compact little girlees car is FWD. You think its all a matter of opinion well than may the rice be with you and may you understeer into a ditch.

And did i mention hondas with b16's are unique?

Boostfed? What?

He runs 11's because he has a turbo the size of one on a semi. His max power is at like 10K. IMO his powerband isn't very useful. The car is fast AFTER the 1/4 mile.

I dont care what enough is. Im going to clear 600whp on the cobra and thats where im stopping. If i want to go any further, ill explore higher levels on my foxbody. Theres really no need for me to go further than that with the cobra at this point.
