Umm, no.  Most of the things I know I know from personal experience that
I've seen with my own eyes either at the drag strip or at the street
races.  What you say about magazines is completely wrong, everyone knows
that the magazines report SLOWER times than what the car can really do.
They never launch the car right, and every time I see them testing cars
on TV for the 0-60 times or in the 1/4 mile they're always spinning the
tires.  And what you say about 6 car lengths in the quarter mile is such
bullcrap.  A car length in the quarter mile is about 3 tenths of a
second difference.  Now you just said before that the VTEC Civic will
run high 13's/low 14's.  But an LT1 Vette/Z28/Formula will all run at
LEAST high 13's stock.  The Vette probably more like mid to low 13's
stock.  And if you're saying that this Civic is beating them by 6 car
lengths...that would be a 1.8 second lead.  Which would make the Civic
be running low 12's/high 11's.  Now, I'm not gonna deny that this can't
be possible but I find it pretty hard to believe that you can make the
car that fast w/o a supercharger/turbocharger/nitrous set up.  Basically
all I'm saying here is, you're all excited about how fast this Civic is
gonna be and you're blurting out these quarter mile times and how it's
gonna smoke these cars...but the numbers you're giving don't match up.
So either you lied about it "smoking" those cars because there's no way
it can smoke them if it's only running high 14's/low 13's, OR, if it
really does pull those cars by 6 car lengths then apparently you gave us
the wrong 1/4 mile times.  There is a discrepency in what you say, I'm
just trying to find out what the truth is.
