you'd be better off saving your money for crack.
I dont mind putting money into it speed wise but I see it from a different prespective.v4 is always going to be a v4,what people see in those litte F&F movies is a bit overrated for one, for two not everyday there is a honda or an eclipse that can smoke a 200,000 dollar or 500,000 car which is like a beast on the german autobonds.
hmmm.
1) they're not v's, they're inline. And besides, I can think of a four-banger that, stock, can almost beat a viper in the quarter mile. Its called an s2000
2) any honda owner who is respectable hates the gay and the curious
3) german and $200k+ are much different than honda's. Most people get honda's for affordability, reliability, and mod-ability. Plus they keep their value. It's called price range and class, fool. Make the distinction.
In addition to that before a japanese made car such as civic can even preform close to that level,it will have heavy mods done and then you look at it and then its no longer a honda,its like a hybrid car,and you have invested more then 50,000 into it when you could have just bought 67 mustang or a dodge charger for the speed.
you must be bad at math.
so i do understand reality of things
do you?
and how to achieve them and a few dreams,would i like to have a super duper car that some people have than can run a q/mile in 10s and in 12,or lower.Sure hell yeah
not everyone who mod's honda's does it for 1/4 mile times.
some of us don't even do it for lap times.
but mens best friend "$$$$$$" says youre better off getting a new 2005 supercharged mustang that reaches speed of 240 hp on the road..
see how much that car costs, and how long it lasts before it needs
expensive repair, and have fun making insurance payments.
funny of you not even to mention the IS300 you "drive"
Nice reply thank you if you got to comment or some bashing to do on what i said,dont hesitate
1) this is the internet.
2) you're an idiot who doesn't know what he's talking about
3) this is the internet
4) you asked a question, he gave you an answer, and other people gave you personal experience veiws
5) no one bashed you. Well, I did.....
6) this is the internet

however, i can upgrade my head, port and polish it and balance the rotating mass, new pistons and rods, and a piced turbo, for a total of hmm, under 10k? or have what? 500 horse? not a bad idea. i paid 10k for my car, 99 civic. and umm, 10+10 is 20 so .. lets say 25k and will out do a 30k stock mustang and then some, hmm ya, ok, those lil civics do suck.
