Wow, does $4K include transmission, wheels, tires, etc... I'm very skeptical of a NA 9 second CRX, simply by dropping in a crate engine.

I figured it had to of been something of that nature, just thought i'd make an ass of myself haha. It Runs 9's for $4,000? You go from a car that runs 16's stock to 9's with $4,000? I'f this is true, why doesnt everybody do it? Wouldnt it be cheaper than getting the proper turbo kits and intercoolers? Please explain... Im a tad skeptical of this Spork.

So it's an amazing stroke of luck, and $4K in building an engine. Then add a CRX which he already had, and what about the tranny and stuff? I don't mean to sound like an ass, but I like to count everything that goes into car, including tires and gas
 The Chevette was a Hot rod magazine project car, a budget 10 second racer... www.hotrod.com They called it, the Bad Seed... had a 500CI Cadillac big block as I recall... they were planning a performance rebuild in the future, at which point they figured on a 7-8 second chevette

cbass- you are probably just pissed off b/c a honda beat you and you dont think that is possible
the new si's are pretty quick, they still weigh light and they have a bigger engine with the all new "i-vtec". I admit, i am not a fan on how they look at all. To me i think they look like a small mini mini van lol

Check out the times on the new civic Si http://www.car-stats.com/stats/shows...tsgivenid.aspx not too impressive, I definitely wouldn't be happy with that at all, in fact i'd be embarrassed to race with times like that. Keep in mind as well that these results were from car and driver magazine, and they use professional drivers.

Well I am going to be an ass and bring up my LeBaron. Stock it ran low 14s in the 1/4 and for less than $1,000 you are running in the low 12s. There is NOTHING impessive about a stock Honda Civic, NOTHING!
And Kris, I think he was talking about the picture that was posted of the Spoon modified CRX, no Stock Civic can run 13s stock. I have seen the Civic Si get beaten buy a Chevy Silverado, 160HP, big deal. I agree, Honda has no grounds for thinking that the Civic is anywhere NEAR a sports car. The only car that the Honda side produces that could be called a sports car is the S2000.
