My buddy just purchased a brand new hemi charger r/t and we thought it would be fun to see how it held up next to the hatch... he spent about 32k on it i've spent about 8k on mine.. people on other sites (homemadeturbo, hondamarketplace, etc.) are telling me that the 4500 im asking for it is too much and im a dumbass who got ripped off spending 8k to build this car.... anyways we did 30mph rolls, 2 of them. by the time i shut it down at about 115mph i was about 15-18 cars ahead.. i thought the hemi would have held better. the morel of this story is that honda owns all!

Just proves the fact that you don't have to spend a lot of money, especially on a new car, for great performance. Nobody wants to give anyone these days the $$$ for the time and money it takes to build an older vehicle. Very true for imports.

Yeah those r/t's aren't very fast. Not bad from a sedan perspective but the new "Hemi" doesn't even have Hemispherical heads lol. Fucking dodge. Nice kill, what do you have done?

yeah i was actually very surprised to hear that they run low to flat 14's stock... i pulled away like he wasnt even moving. im just a stock b18b w/ 57 trim t3/t4 at 9psi

You did spend way to much for a stock non-VTEC motor with a turbo kit. Nice kill though.

bullshit.. i did auto to manual, jdm b series swap, brakes, suspension, turbo .. i didnt spend 8k on a motor swap w/ a turbo kit, i spent 8k BUILDING THE ENTIRE CAR.. and i did all the work myself.. so if labor was involved it would have been a hell of alot more... when you see a nice highly modded civic (or any car for that matter) owner and hes telling you he spent 10k+... believe him... quality parts are not cheap
