Most likely. But when someone keepta talkin **** that they can smoke me I'll take the race wherever if you don't like it cool. It might be dumb to race in traffic but I did it not you. Plus there were barely any cars out lol

x2, especially when you dont care if there's traffic just to get a race in. Very stupid and very immature.

Tracks may be fun, but their isn't much to show someone, if their 1/4mile is faster than urs. Now, if your top end blows them out of the water then I'd say the highway is the place to go....when there is very little traffic of course. I...btw, am actually getting tired of street racing, at least in my area...Also, when you close a track down where do you expect the racing to go?

You can get a new Civic Si or RSX-S in the 210-220whp range with just bolt on's and a nice tune from Hondata or K-Pro, and with that much power they can hit low 14's to high 13's in the 1/4 mile. So with a S/C or turbo and a nice tune, I'm sure a good driver can run mid to low 13's in the 1/4 mile. Just dont know why someone would wanna run a S/C on a 4 banger, if it's aftermarket.

exactly, you can do ALL of those things, and in reality its not much quicker than a mild bolt on cobalt ss. sounds like a nice waste of money. maybe its the uniqueness factor of having a 13 second honda...

i've seen many dyno pulls of Comptech S/C'd SI's they put down between 230-255whp and 160-170wtq
which costs 4k to get LOL
i spent $750 and got 236whp/211wtq

horsepowers for show, torque is for go

I dont know if you saw it but i went in astraight line and stopped at about 70 or so. There wasnt one car in front of me. Like i said i dint like to race on the street but im that kind of person that if someone keeps running their mouth that thayre faster and i know theyre not ill shut them up. And the nearest track is about an hour away at Union Grove in Wisconsin

Exactly, they're running 13's in a bolt on and tuned N/A 2.0, and it takes the Cobalt a turbo or S/C to run 13's in a 2.0. Not saying I want a damn Honda or anything, just saying you gotta respect a 13 second N/A 2.0 Honda pushing over 200whp and running faster or just as fast as bolt on SS/SC and SS/TC Cobalts and other F/I 4 cylinders.

WTF!! Who tells someone on the internet to shutup? That is just ridiculous, and it's also stupid and rediculous to say that anyone saying that street racing is bad is stupid and needs to shutup.

Lol calm down dude, man its so easy to ruffle yalls panties, its almost fun, over here on the shortbuss.

Street racing is really dangerous, but hey, i think we all can admit is tough to pass up a douche high schooler next to you thats revving while going down the highway.
