I guess if it's low 2700 it could go either way. That's about the weight of an Integra.
Yes I am a 1/4 mile guy. And I am getting this car for that. I could honestly care less what some of you guys on here say "oh if you want to go fast in a straight line this is the wrong car" blah blah blah. Guess what it's my car I'm buying it for my purpose so why can't most people just leave it at that? All the cars I have owned have been built for drag strip purposes. That's just how Houston is I guess. We don't have much of a fallowing for lap times. I have two shops that will hook me up on custom fab work at cost. I just pay for supplies and they spot the labor. I just have to sport there name. Inline Racing(ILR) he has done some amazing work with All motor Hondas. South Side Performance(SSP) New shop, but does have some amzaing work with GT-Rs, Evos, STIs and Turbo Hondas. So either way I'm going with this car. It's balanced out great, RWD and lightweight. Most import cars today aren't engineered to go in a straight line anyways, GT-Rs Evos STIs 370Zs etc etc. All were engineered to go around the track with the quickest lap time possible. But guess what AMS, ILR, SSP, Melon Racing, Secret Service, J-Tran Stuidos etc etc all build these cars to go down the drag strip anyways. This car for me is meant to go down the quart mile at the fastest time It can within the power goals I want. Which depending on weight and how the motor is built would be around 400whp or 230whp.
I know most on here will prolly use the car for AutoX, Road Racing, and drifting. So HP may not be your guys goal. But it's mine. I hope to be a valued member on this board one day letting you guys know the ups and downs of building this car for that purpose.
