Default Honda Civic

Some guy is saying his car can run 12s and its not turbo. He's all like its a civic hatch with a teg type r engine in it. I've never heard of something that fast, Have you guys I don't think its possible.

if hes got NOS, MAYBE, but i still doubt it, it just wouldnt be worth the trouble or the price for him to have that many mods on the car to get it down to the twelve range, especially without a turbo......

It is possiable with alot of work and alot of money to do a all motor build.

Do I really have to get started with all the questions you can ask him to prove it. lol

Actually just look in the car and see if it is stripped. If not then he hasn't done anything. Car needs to be real light.

I don't know, but I think this guys is full of **** because I've never heard of a honda being that high in hp with out having a turbo or super charger. He was one of my friends cousins who was like yeah my car will kill your car or any other eclipse so I was just wondering if it was likely to have it all motor run the 1/4 mile that fast.

its possible, and anyone that knows about cars knows that it is... i've got a friend who has a 13.1 sec hatch, with jdm b16a, NO internals, aluminum block..... i'm sure if he went enough into it he could've hit 12's easy..... yes..... it is fully gutted, but he has upgraded to fully built internals/150hp shot nitrous. there are a few 12 sec hatch's out there, not to mention crx's. do some research.

OH YA, I DRIVE AN ECLIPSE, AND I HATE HONDAS... SOOO dont think i'm making sh*t up. just stating facts.

thats what we just said..... possible, yes. But it would have to be super light. and changing to an aluminum block would be a great help. Nos is also required. actually to get into 12's even from a 13 is a big jump. every tenth closer to 11/12 costs more and more. 12's possible yes... but expensive and needs to have an excelent tuner.

So dont go sayin my friend has this so i know its possible.... because we said it is possible, but most regular honda owners dont have the money, nor the tuning experience to run 12's.

lets all revert to my previous rant about people not knowing **** about what they are talking about... point said and clear? awesome

if he had THAT much money to engine swap and upgrade EVERYTHING, he would have just gone turbo and had a faster car.. cheeper, and faster too
