How about, lets boost some muscle cars! Even 8 PSI is going to make some muscle cars break into the 9's. The EVO is already boosting 17, and the STI is something over 20.

BTW, I do like 4-bangers. I own one. I just hate people that think their 4-banger is better than muscle cars. And it sends chills through my spine when Hot Rod Magazine called the STI a ''Modern Musclecar''. Morons. It's like they forgot the good old days, when there was gobs of torque at 2000 RPM instead of 8000 RPM chain-saw 4-bangers.

if you were invovled in the import world then you would know there is all motor front drive 4 banger civics running 10s

Horsepower Results - 1/4 Mile Method
Your EVO weighs about 2560 pounds and can complete a 1/4 mile in about 13.4 seconds. That means that you've got about 210.29 HP at the wheels, and about 273.37 HP at the flywheel.

This would be a 1969 Camaro based on it weighing 3450 #

Horsepower Results - 1/4 Mile Method
Your Camaro weighs about 3450 pounds and can complete a 1/4 mile in about 13.4 seconds. That means that you've got about 283.40 HP at the wheels, and about 368.41 HP at the flywheel.

with the Camaro we would have to make 95.04 More hp at the fly wheel to get the same result, and 73.11 more hp at the wheels to get the same result. But it's easy to wring another 100 hp out of all those cubes.

hey im only going by an american ma. company read it youll see. it ran in the 13.0 to 13.1 range.

Does it us nitrous?
Plus it is so stripped down, it only weighs 2000 pounds IF that. There is nothing left in it besides one seat and a roll cage. I'm talking about full street trim, full interior.

I'm not trying to jump on the side of the evo here i'm american loyal I promise. I've rode in an evo and it was pretty impressive, although it was one most uncomfortable car i've ever rode in. I still wouldn't compare it to any trans am I've ever rode in. It didn't really toss me into the back of the seat as hard as any f body. Plus its doesn't look half as cool as any f body. I also say someone say american cars are to ugly and round and imports look cooler. What the hell? Lets take the civic. Its a damn box with a few 45 and 90 degree angles. Thats just ugly. I can't tell the difference between most of the import cars because they all have the same boring shape. Back to the point the new evo is a good performing car but why get it? If you a rally car driver or a midget its a good idea but otherwise you can get the same performance but actually be comfortable in an American. Plus think if american car companies could put its race cars into production. Nascar monte carlo chevy 350 over 800hp will out handle your evo and it has a shit load of restrictions on it. I guess the point of my rant is why settle for a high performance go-cart when you can have a real car?

Since we are on the topic of factory costom cars lets not forget the NISMO 400R,the 390 GT1,the Toyota GT1 or the countless other 400+hp jap factory costoms that would totaly smoke any of the cars that you mentioned on any track. Tell you what lets stick to production cars for the sake of fair arguement. But if you insist find me ONE street legal American car that could beat a Mazda 787B on a racetrack. Trust me you don't want me to go there so let's stick to production cars.
