That sounds dandy, but I don't see how if it's only running low
14's/high 13's, it's going to SMOKE an LT-1 Vette, Mustang Cobra, Supra
Turbo, etc.  At the most, it might be a close race with certain cars
depending on the drivers and if the opposing car is bone stock.  But the
Vette is faster than high 13's stock, and I'm pretty sure the Supra
Turbo is also.  And as for the Mustang Cobra, it would depend on the
year...but all it takes is a couple easy/cheap mods to bring it into the
low 13's. (ie. shorty belt, advance the timing).  Tell me, about how
much money does it cost to get one of those engines you're talking about
and transplant it into a Civic?  I bet it would be a fun little car and
I'm not denying that it would be quick...I'm just questioning your use
of the word "SMOKE".
