KZ>WU>You must be some guy who actually believes what magazines say in their
KZ>WU>writeups.  They ALWAYS claim a faster time than what the car can always
KZ>WU>do.  I've SEEN these cars.  I'm basing my statements from facts that
KZ>WU>have actually happened.
KZ>WU>When I say "Smoke", I mean that the Civic will be ahead of those above
KZ>WU>mentioned cars by about 6 or more car-lengths in a quarter-mile.  It
KZ>WU>will cost $4200.00 to perform the transplant, and it takes 6 hours to
KZ>WU>complete.
KZ>WU>---
KZ>Umm, no.  Most of the things I know I know from personal experience that
KZ>I've seen with my own eyes either at the drag strip or at the street
KZ>races.  What you say about magazines is completely wrong, everyone knows
KZ>that the magazines report SLOWER times than what the car can really do.
KZ>They never launch the car right, and every time I see them testing cars
KZ>on TV for the 0-60 times or in the 1/4 mile they're always spinning the
KZ>tires.  And what you say about 6 car lengths in the quarter mile is such
KZ>bullcrap.  A car length in the quarter mile is about 3 tenths of a
KZ>second difference.  Now you just said before that the VTEC Civic will
KZ>run high 13's/low 14's.  But an LT1 Vette/Z28/Formula will all run at
KZ>LEAST high 13's stock.  The Vette probably more like mid to low 13's
KZ>stock.  And if you're saying that this Civic is beating them by 6 car
KZ>lengths...that would be a 1.8 second lead.  Which would make the Civic
KZ>be running low 12's/high 11's.  Now, I'm not gonna deny that this can't
KZ>be possible but I find it pretty hard to believe that you can make the
KZ>car that fast w/o a supercharger/turbocharger/nitrous set up.  Basically
KZ>all I'm saying here is, you're all excited about how fast this Civic is
KZ>gonna be and you're blurting out these quarter mile times and how it's
KZ>gonna smoke these cars...but the numbers you're giving don't match up.
KZ>So either you lied about it "smoking" those cars because there's no way
KZ>it can smoke them if it's only running high 14's/low 13's, OR, if it
KZ>really does pull those cars by 6 car lengths then apparently you gave us
KZ>the wrong 1/4 mile times.  There is a discrepency in what you say, I'm
KZ>just trying to find out what the truth is.

Exactly what i was thinking.  Like i said, I'd need to see an actual
time slip and the race.
