Pretty cool car, the blow-off valve is really loud. Spins at 100km/h (I was like WTF when I saw the smoke from the wheels on the highway) even when its downtuned to street driveable 16psi or something, like it was last night. I didn't get a ride in it though, he already had a passenger, so I got a ride in a GSR EK Civic (who somehow manages to run 14 flat) while were following the ITR who was street racing. I don't even know how fast we were going, since he's got a CTR cluster which has a max of 190km/h the needle just stays there while the RPM keep on going.
Pretty fun night, that was the fastest car I've ever been in... which will probably be until my friend finishes his K24 EG.

TT? LOL its only 1 T and no it probably wont take it on yet (although the 3 fastest all honda allmotors in the world run 9.97, 9.98 and 9.99) but it will demolish the 14 second GSR for sure, since it has a lot more torque. It'll probably run high 12 right away on good tires, and thats 10+ car lengths in front.

tell me, what is the general attraction of buying a car thats relatively cheap then adding like 25000 worth of parts to make it go faster. why not just buy a fast car like an xkr supercharged, 348 gtb or a 911 or something with a bit of class ?
Where were you when the West was defeated?

OHHHH I see now. At first glance that header looks like two turbos.

serious question,
Well, it's typically not $25,000 unless your a retard and you go for the big name parts and have someone else do it for you. Probes can be taken to 400hp for well under $10,000. Besides, $35k wouldn't buy you a Porsche (maybe a used boxter ) and it definitely wont get you a Ferrari.
The point you may ask? Perhaps it's the pride of tuning it yourself. Perhaps they really like the car (my step bro supercharged a buick for some handicapped dude once). Perhaps it's the bragging rights to have the fastest XXX in town. Perhaps they like to drag race and know that well tuned cars will destroy most OEM cars that cost less than $60k (my friend's EVO8 runs 13.5 while his friends Civic runs 12.2 and cost half as much).
like the sierras
) and it definitely wont get you a Ferrari.
