Didn't seem like I was too far off. Why don't you clarify then?

"Not even at 500 hp" sounds like he's close to 500 to me... why would you say that when he's at, let's say, 350whp? If he's at 450whp, that's near 500whp, isn't it? So, like I said, clarify.

Tony (clarify... also doesn't speak in "hp", only "whp")

No way that Civic is anywhere near 500whp. That Evo is not good for anything more than 111-113mph trap-and thats pushing it. For a Civic to not pull an Evo that much from a roll, especially in 5th when the Evo dogs down is pretty sad. Id actually say that Civic is slow for what it has, with 300whp in that car it could pull like in that vid if not harder.

I doubt that Evo would trap that much w/o a real tune, MBC and fuel pump (unless it was a IX).

Watching the vid again, it would make sense that the Civic is between 250 and 300whp... the car weighs like 5 pounds wet and the cameraman was never in it.

What's tt tubo? There's nothing wrong with making a Civic hatch fast. People are gonna tell you that modding your G35 is stupid too.

Darius is the driver of the civic.....Sharif was in the EVO


I said less than 500 hp....not 500 whp....I don't know the exact number but the motor was fully built with the full race kit and he was running around 11 psi i think....

That was back in the day though....now that thing will own all Z's except Marin's haha j/k
