Default New Civic Si Turbo Inched Away

Last night a new civic si turbo inched away from me on the freeway. but as we came close to tripple digit speed i could have made up the groud but i shut it down on the count that i was not alone in the car. Not bad for a stock s2000 with rollin 18's.

Huh? I thought the new civic si was n/a. If he did have an aftermarket turbo on there and only inched away from you. That sucks for him.

not really. It depends on what turbo he did. I know a guy who put a turbo on his and only ran a 14.1.

not necessarily a waste, for about 3200 you can get around a 14 that isn't to bad. Most good aftermarket exhausts for the s2000 and other higher end cars are atleast 1000. So 3200 really isn't that bad. Especially since I think those are high 15 low 16 second cars stock.

It was a aftermarket turbo. But it looked like the guy had a lot invested in it. Big Brake kit. Nice Rims. Oh Well i guess got to save up for the vortech.

I dunno.. I would assume 14.1 is about right, launching a FI FWD car w/ no LSD should be a bitch..

From a roll, I would expect more from the K..
