This is why I asked for
street cars. First off, just like I told KrNxRaCer00, don't mention the race-dedicated cars. If you wanna go that route, the low eight-second
FWD car of Stephan Papadakis runs a 4-banger that originally came in an economy-class Honda, and wasn't originally turbo-charged. Also, his crew's efforts, compared to HKS's with the 180SX, is still technically amateur. The 180SX is running a
Skyline motor...a motor that came with a turbo stock. The 180 is also a no-money-spared project from a world-class company.
Now, if you want to compare apples-to-apples, you can check-out
Adam Saruwatari's drag NSX, which is similar, as it runs a 6-cylinder configuration, and is a dedicated drag-car. It runs low 7's, and
has a motor that originally came with the car configuration. The NSX motor, we all know, was never configured for turbo.
There are a lot of documented, street-legal, 10-second Civics in the U.S., of which I showed you one example in the video. Show me your street-legal, ten-second Silvia/180SX/240SX here in the U.S..
Not that I don't believe that there are those cars, it's just not as numerous as Hondas, because of initial cost, and cost of maintenance...which was the point I was making. The 276WHP 240 that somebody mentioned that cost 7grand...I can potentially create a 300-400WHP Civic for that much money...if the money is distributed correctly with no concern for the looks of the car. Hell, hybridsol's/dblovrhdcamron's low 10's-high 9's CRX cost them about 4grand.
