Who ever said that ricers can't beat a V8, is so lost in wasting gas!!! I have a 92 Honda Civic 4 Cyl. With turbo that smokes Corvetts z06 all day, and my civic is a everyday driver!!
You have to look at Horse Power and weight ratio....my civic is putting to the wheel 480hp, 11:36 @123 quater mile........REMEBER EVERYDAY DRIVER

Nice! Now massage that motor some more and you can join the elite 550+ whp Honda Civics that are everyday drivers and can run 10.5 seconds or less in the quarter mile- many of them with full interiors. There's a website on it so do a search. The list is really impressive.
Many V8 fans can't believe it until it happens to them. That's what happens when you drive a lightweight car running a high tech stock motor built on Formula One technology. Modding it just brings out all of the hidden potential. A 4 cylinder engine has more flexibility than V8 and can tolerate higher RPMS better do to being overbuilt to make up for having a smaller displacement. Keep eating V8s for us. If one does beat you, think about all of the others that you've destroyed. Keep up the good work!!

Your civic could definitely beat ost V8's but If I put the same amount of money into a corvette z06 as you did it just fixing it up The vette would win. Stock vs. stock v8's are better most of the time over 4 bangers. stock v8 vs heavily modified import. Import is better. modified v8 vs modified import I think the v8 would win. you have put alot of money nito an import to make it as fast as a stock v8

I've always said that people with the so claimed american muscle cars, are just trying to compensate something. like he said his honda is an everyday driver, now if you mod a z06 most likely wont be a legal on road. but, come on we all know that any azian car, can hold more than any american car.
GO FORD... fix or repair daily!

hahaha. probably ZO6 driver wasnt racing.
Do you want to race my friend's modified C4?
it's street-legal 2400hp twin-turbo car =)
If u ever visit OHIO, lemme know he'll race you for a slip and mebbe he's gonna use its motor as his lawn mower motor lol
Wasting gas? WTF? If u have enough money to afford V8 or further and modify it, u probably wouldnt worry about gas price or whatever. Ricers care about gas price. it's just way they are.

Wow, you have a 480 wheel hp civic.
What kind of engine are your running?
If you're running a regular D16 or D15, you are pushing your luck.
Be careful and good luck.

Import tuners rule, it's all about the imports. I smoke V8's with Supra Turbo all day and guess what it's my daily driver I'm pushing at 560HP with a boost of 20PSI.

ummm yea....
and what happens when you modify a Z06 (or just about any car) with equal amounts of mentioned modifications????
It's all relative, who cares
