If you mean it's funny cuz it's wrong wheel drive, well it'll still beat many rwd cars and most fwd. He's got a drag nova and his dad and him have a 7 second corvette, so.....
And it's definitely not a dyno queen. He's building the car to be very fast. He's the kinda guy that if it's not winning, he's gonna keep improving it. Just like he kept turning the boost up on the t3, cracked a sleeve, and now should be making over twice the horsepower when it's all done with the new parts. The first event he plans on taking it to is a nopi event in april. I'll update this with results then.
and in the end its still a civic, money that could have been spent on say a mustang and probably be twice as fast.
And in the end you still have a contour. Who cares? If it's fast, it's fast. Like I said, he's already got the big time rwd drag cars. He's twenty something, the civic isn't like his last/dream car. And really the cost of it is a lot less than you think. No way would the same money that he's spending get you a mustang even close to as fast as the civic. He's not a honduh guy at all. This is just a little project.
Just mad that a cheap pos civic can blow your doors off.
