How can I Beat a Supercharged mustang?
I have a 98' Civic EX with A D-16 Sohc. Totally stock I want to beat a 93 Mustang GT with a 306 that makes about 380 rwhp and runs mid 11's.
How much will it cost to accomplish? I have A B-18 B that I payed $750 for already. The main question is will it be cheaper to build a mustang to do battle or an import?

I love imports but for this one im gonna have to say get a Mustang.FWD turbo is alot of fun but RWD superchaged with more torque than you know what to do with is beyond fun.The gains from adding small mods on a v8 are alot bigger tha most bigger mods on a 4 banger.

Beat a Supercharged Mustang? Easy.
1) Sell the Civic.
2) Buy a Mustang/Camaro/RX-7/DSM, etc.
3) Put a bigger supercharger or turbo on it with supporting mods.
4) Cry when the credit card bill arrives.

if drag racing is the biggest concern a fwd 4 cylinder is one of the poorest platforms to work with (weight transition away from driving wheels & lack of low end torque honda 4 cylinder)...the only advantage you have is weight...it's not worth pouring in thousands into a fwd drag car unless you are competing
ignore your buddy and go to autox or do some track events...your car can outhandle that overweight 20 year old platform any day of the week and with track racing you will always be in the upper rpms and the appropriate powerband for your engine

To answer your question about which is cheaper.... come on. Do you really have to ask? You'll spend WAY less than half as much to put a 5.0 reliably in the 11's than you will to put ANY honda there.
If you really want to keep the honda... scratch the 'track events' off that list unless you like getting severly owned. You'll do ok in an autocross (if you have an upgraded suspension), but that is only if you are a decent driver.
