WU>You guys are talking about the best of the best?  With a little work, a

WU>SMOKE almost any production car...including LT-1 Vettes, Mustang Cobras,
WU>Turbo Supras, Turbo Z cars..., C2 Porches...you get the picture.
WU>Imagine it...the car gets 30+ MPG, idles SMOOTH as silk, and it is
WU>extremely driveable.  All it takes is about 5 hours of work and some

WU>what I'm talking about.  It'll do 0-60MPH in 4 second land...the quarter

Put a 350 in a Datsun 510. It'll smoke the civic. tss. I've seen a guy
who put an Integra engine in a Civic and it's not THAT fast, and he
still had to take everything out of the car, and put in plastic seats,
etc. If it does 0-60 in 4 seconds it has to run a quarter in the 12's.
Let's compare the cost of buying an integra engine and putting it in a
civic to the cost of buying a mustang and adding a supercharger. grin.
