8v vs 16v eh! RE: 16v body kit questions

[txrocco@sbcglobal.net (ATS - Patrick Bureau)]

I also noticed one thing about the honda, if you pay attention to his rear
disc brakes during his acceleration they become quite "bright red" seems he
needs adjusting his hand brake :)
and Yeah... Honda.. against Viper.. yeah like in rice movie all kids ran to
2 summers ago (forget the name), an 8's Quarter Mile dragster versus an
impreza.. suuuuureee it would be close.
Not.!

  I could only download the first 23 seconds of the Cheesefrogg run, but it
was quite obvious that the Viper was toying with the ricer.  After all, in
23 seconds the Viper could have run the quarter mile.  Twice.
  Tell me what happened after the 23 second mark???

    I'm not arguing 8V v. 16V I'm arguing stock v. modified... Chesefrog or
whoever that is did a great job running a viper but he didn't exactly have
stock civic. Based on this heavily modified civic it would not be fair to
say that 'civic's can keep up with vipers'... that's my point.

      OH and why not? You guys do start OUT with 33 extra HP after all???
      Depends on how modded the 8v was...that we don't know. I mean,
depending on the mods, it *might* have been only making similar HP numbers
to a stock 16v.
