433hp was done at 14psi, i ran 12.8 at 7psi. Look at the mph. 120mph, 120mph is a 11 sec pass.

car weights around 2500-2600lbs

niether am i....

ive just always wondered why people (no matter what make/model) always seem to go to the drag strip and only keep a record of the times they run on bald tires and with a slipping clutch...

nobody ever seems to say "i ran this time when my car was running perfectly"...its always "well, i ran this time but my clutch was slipping and i was on bald street tires"

Nice Honda. Go honda-tech!
look at that trap it'll rape most evo's on a roll.
Its hard to hook wit FWD w/o slicks.

though street tire record for civics is like 1/4 mil @ 11.0

Nice car bro. I've always wanted a high powered FWD car. I've never experienced that type of highway pull before.

No it's not. It's 12.8. That's what your slip says.

I don't understand people that put a turbo in the ITR. It is an awesome, balanced car the way it is made. That's my opinion. Your car still looks good, though.

honestly, i commend you for going sleeper with it. 99% of kids with a fast honda would never paint the intercooler to hide it, most would cut the freaking front bumper all to **** to show it off.

One of my all-time favorite cars. Don't get rid of that thing! I love driving any version of the Type R in the GT series. That car handles like a dream. I still want one after all these years. Lucky bastard to soon have 2 of the best bangs for the bucks.
