Fastest Honda Civic in the World to Break 240MPH!
I have to give props to this Lucas Oil sponsored Civic.
Apparently this Civic hit 227.7 mph in the Bonneville salt flats on just 15.2 PSI. The turbo is good for 29 PSI, however, the CV Joint broke on the record run and they had to shut it down. The car was just recently sold online and only managed to fetch $22,777. The owner claims the car is good for 240+ mph, and that the next owner can fix it up, dial up the boost and make a new world land speed record (BCGG category). Pretty cheap project for a world record if you ask me!
I was truly impressed at how much power this thing makes, I think it states 728 whp and 503 ft. lbs. @ 29PSI, although the run was done around 500 whp I believe.
The list of modifications reads like a holy grail of automotive-goodness, check it out!

Hmm I think you're just paranoid, if you notice, the auction ended on November 10.. anyway, I wonder why this Civic is so fast considering there are many HB's with over 500 horsepower that couldn't touch this sucker!
