Re: A little street driven civic in the 9s!
 

I can see some of the responses to this already.......

Whats wrong?! I just tought you guys might want to know that some honda can finally run in the 9s with a street car! finally! :D

Thats incredible! What on earth powers it?

Did he go down the track backwards :D

that's what im wondering with full interior..and i would think they would make him have a roll cage at those speeds, and a parachute

M O N E Y...

I can strap a rocket on a roller skate, doesn't mean I want to drive it...

Hey, its whatever floats your boat. I'm sure Jason is loving life right now.

Just don't expect me to cringe in fear when the next musclebound CRX revs at me at a light with its "afterburner" lighted exhaust tip.

What, in the name of all that's holy, would a front wheel drive car need with a wheelie bar?? Everything from the front axle back serves as a wheelie bar.

Oh, and just a guess, but I'd say his being registered and street driven might just be circumventing a few emissions and inspection laws.

Gotta give him props, I guess. He certainly must have spent a big wad of $$$ to do it. I guess that is called dedication?

So, if I understand FWD correctly (all my cars are RWD or AWD) would the car flip over onto the roof it had enough traction on launch...that would be funny as he-double-toothpicks to see!

Has that ever happened...gotta see a video to believe it...

FWD cars need wheelie bars to keep all the weight from coming off of the front wheels.

Just like RWD cars when the launch the car squats in the rear.

Yall are funny,

Actually, Dark hit it right on the head. Just a simple case of physics.

And I'm sure that all of the 9 second registered and street driven Stangs are all within the limits of the law too. In terms of emissions, any properly tuned car shouldn't have much of a problem passing emissions if equiped with a cat during the emissions test.

It isn't exactly cheap or easy to put together ANY vehicle that is daily driven and capable of single digit times...that is unless it only has two wheels.

You already have asnwer to most of the questions but here are mine!

wheelie bar: FWD cars have the same weight transfert then a RWD car. That mean less traction since there is less weight on the front wheels.

street car: Of course its on the line of being street able and street legal!

Power: 500hp at the wheels!

rollcage: Im not a pro into drag racing but I think anything in the 11s or lower need a rollcage! no!? so yes he has one!

:D

how bout you hook us up with a link so we can check out the details on the 500 hp sardine can...yes weight comes of the front of the car in fwd as well but not nearly as much as rwd car so the willie bar thing is all that amazing

hammer i totaly agree with you on this and i would say many would agree that it takes alot less money to make a v8 run 9s than a 4 banger....


peace

Its gonna be expensive to run 9s with a street car what ever the platform is!

2100lbs, over 500 whp, no nitrous
built/sleeved block, vtec head, gsr cams, speedpro management, 25" tires, t4 60-1 turbo, rev hard
manifold, jg intake manifold, b16 tranny.


anyway here is the link!

Yes, a RWD car will lift the front end a lot more than a FWD car but there is one small thing that you are overlooking.....ANY front end lift on a FWD car will cause excessive wheelspin.

In most cases yes. It really depends on the avenue you take. You must remember, that in a lighter chassis, less power is needed to get similar 1/4 times.

I would guess maybe 20 grand or so to go that fast with a burner,and the ONE run posted may explain why he prolly didnt have a rollcage.for that amount of money I could build an 8 second ride,no doubt.I am with most of the others,I wanna see the actual time slip,I have almost 450 horses in my Stang and I hook like a MOTHER at the track,and my 60's arent that good.I have serious doubts as to the validity of this so called 9 second 4 banger,I have seen SVO 4 bangers run this with some SERIOUS money invested,Procharger,etc. but they were RWD.I wanna see a dated time slip validated. Talk is cheap,lets see valid results..my .02 yours may vary

Before you go off like that compare the weights man. I bet this CRX weighs AT LEAST 1,000 pounds less than a Stang. Possibly even less. I think it is cool. Is that an H22 or a B18 or whatever?

i wouldnt do somethin like that because i love v8's but it still gets my respect. :cool:

Later,

its 100% sure he has a rollcage! This ran 10s pass long atime a go. They would never let him race if he didnt have a rollcage!

Here is the detail of the slip! There is still no sign of the actual timeslip on the website!

60 foot 1.613
330 foot 4.391
1/8th 6.541@114.42 mph
1000 foot 8.356
1/4 9.871@148.46 mph

There is also this civic from my hometown! Its a four doors. Full interior, daily driver civic!

His best time is 10.6 @ 134 mph!

Again,this is not car envy,just some serious doubts about the times run,I see a pic of a car,ok where's the time slip?,I can claim MY stang runs 9's but it doesnt.This isnt to argue but in my 45 years I have heard some claims that didnt hold water,if it does run those times I think that's great for the guy,but from where I come from,if your gonna make claims like that,thay make you prove it,just a thought no offense intended.If it makes him feel good,thats all that matters.LOL
We have some damn fast rice down here in Fla. and none of them run 9's but hey,I guess it's possible....

I understand! I would like to see the timeslip too!

For me its look possible since the 4 doors civic has about the same power (~500whp) but is 500 lbs heavier and run 10.6s instant of 9.8s!
