Very true Java, there will always be someone quicker. But it's so much fun trying to be the fastest.

It depends on what you will run in the quarter with the sc. I've seen 1 from someone who just put their sc on and their best of 3 runs was a 13.00 quarter mile.


Heres some quarter mile times for I believe the sc cobra.

I have to guess that those times are by a proffessional driver though, so results may vary with joe blow drivers.

it all comes down to the driver. My car will pull mid 12's with nice tires and a descent launch. Im sure a cobra will do the same.

know whats funny is lil kids that think 500 hp in a mustang is fast... what most people forget to rmr is that honda's best asset is power to weight ratio, let alone there very short gearing. put 300 whp in a crx, drag radials and a good driver and ur 500 hp slowbra is car lengths behind.

I concur. My brother used to have a 91 si crx. For being 108 crank hp, that thing moved very well. I'd buy one today too if I could find one that didn't have the shit beat out of it and if it was stock.

Dunno skate, 'seen carz whut should'a been nano-second fast turn out sluggz n' seen stockerz whut should'a been ho-hum transportation have somethin' goin' on inside the wrapper whut made 'em weird-quick.
In'att competition you're talkin' of, I'd still rather be punchin' the 'Stang. But bench-racin'z jus' that: bench-racin'.

My friend had a crx with the same amount of hp as you. He ran 13's..... He now owns a cobra and runs high 11's. What kind of pudding shall I have. Is anyone else noticing a trend with all the latest posts we have been getting from some of our newest members?

the thing is i love to s2k for what it ism and i dont even like fords at all, but i have to give them the cobra. I not calling you a liar at all skatin, but my buddy has a cobra with just bolt ons, and 300whp in a civic is nice, but even with drag radials or drag slicks your still gonna skate around when your at the lower part of 40mph. If it was from a dig, where the clear advantage is for the cobra, it will more then likely win, but if its a highway pull, where your turbo is already spooled, and his supercharger isnt making a lot of boost, thats when the civic will shine. I myself dont really care for civics, and kinda like the way cobras look, but thats just me and my opinion and what ive seen, so i hope no one gets in a pissy mood about what ive said, its just my exp. and opinion
