    hondas have alot of racing technology behind them but of course they were not designed to be racecars (very very few street legal cars are). Its just wayyy too much fun to beat people that have their hod rodded, modded "my shit is fast, yo" type of car (import or domestic, doesnt matter) in a car that looks slow as fuck and stock. Its hillarious, nobody ever expects my car to be even quick (even though i have less invested in the car than some guys have in rims and tires alone) the looks on their faces is absolutely priceless, they never see it coming, thats why i usually kick the shit out of competition with it. There is a difference between having a fast car and being a ricer, and its all about power to weight ratio.

    Word. The 3G may have not been intended to be a racecar, but it sure can hold its boost. Slap a turbo on a stock 3G and it will definitely hold its own even with the muscle cars. So don't diss.

    Seriously, The car would have gone well into the 12s on the stock motor this year if the oil pump and bearings didnt get smoked. I never did get to make the runs on slicks with the better tune and water/alky. My conservative estimate would be 12.7-12.9 at 108-111. Dont forget i ran 13.7 at 105 smoking the tires to 65mph after bogging the launch (2.4 -2.5 60 fts y0) so it should have gone 12s with just the slicks alone on a good run (est 1.9 60 ft = .5 sec and since every tenth in the 60ft is worth nearly 2 tenths down the track.... you get the idea)
