I must say that's quick. I'd say it really depends on the car comparison. You don't wanna look at a Supra vs. a Pinto (hardly American muscle).
I'd also say it depends on what mods you are going for. Imports are more for turbos... American Muscle, I think of as being all motor (maybe nitrous). I'd also have to say, not many import tuners (aside from professionals and sponsored/tech people) play around with gear ratios. I'm sure that if we did, the numbers could be better... I have no issue talking a/b the American/Import thing... I'm not going to bash... I really like both (they are cars and they can be fast, that's all I care about). I'd have to say, Evos, Stis, and S2000s, would be more likely to make numbers like that than say, Civics, integras, and the like... They are AWD/RWD and would hook up much better. Again, the world's fastest Civic runs 250MPH, not something every muscle car can do... a lot of the fox bodies around here spank people on the track, but top out too fast on the streets, b/c of gear ratios... |

Again, the world's fastest Civic runs 250MPH, QUOTE] you mean traps 250mph on a 1/4 mile or top speed? if you say traps that much, i have to see the informations about it, videos, etc. if you say top speed. i am definetely not interested in top speed races.. my dads 90hp at the crank fiat marea would run 140mph. my uncles 99 honda civic (european) i beleive 100hp ran 155mph top speed. most cars can top out pretty good numbers. again, if that civic trapped 250mph on a 1/4 mile, i would appriciate to see the info. videos, pics.

Is that a simulation or the real thing? Can a car like that hold such turbo power? With that setup I'd like to see it making more than 1462hp at the wheels. I think it could and this video is so old that it probably does now
