There are guys running 12's in an N/A civic hatch, with only a built up GSR motor, pushin just over 200hp... either way it all comes down to the $B$L$I$N$G$
If only my car was as light as a honda!!

yeah - compression is basically stock, the cams have been adjusted like 0.8 degrees but nothing too great. there has been no headwork dont internally, though that was next if i was keeping the car. there are a few 13 second civics out there. my friend KAKI runs low 13's in his ITR swapped SiR with full interior. his car is tuned to shit but has all the same mods that my new car has, but my car is lighter by like 300 lbs. im very confident ill be low 13's and maybe with the right tuning break 13 flat.
to those that like to compare hondas and mustangs. you are right - there will always be the fact that 5.0L of displacement has more potential for raw power than 1.8L. you gotta admit that seeing a N/A 1.8L four banger hit low 13's is a tuning accomplishment..........as the motor is putting out way more than its displacement in power.
