this thread is booty...really, who gives 2 sh*ts about a civic. Even if its putting out 1000hp, its a f'n civic...how about we talk about neons or tiburons or something, then this thread would really be cool...

Oh, now we are talking about drivers. Figures. I love every type of car. I could give a **** less about a Civic really but I just hate when people see a car they don't prefer and call it a piece of **** just because they hate the fact that it's faster than theirs. The point that I'm trying to make is that a fast car is a fast car. I just hate when owners of certain cars (tons of Honda owners in this crowd I know) make excuses rather than just giving credit where credit is due.
P.S.
If you don't like the thread then don't ******* read it.

Was that civic owned by the same people who run www.Full-Race.com ? If so those are some stand up guys who make awesome parts. The work they do on the headers and intake manifolds for the S-2000 and civics are pieces of art. I bet anyone who has ever seen one of their parts wish they made parts for the rotary crowd.

Uhh...Did you not just say this:
"Don't hate on the Civic just because this is a rotary forum. A DOHC Turo Civic would have killed that heat soaked RX7. My CRX would detroy that RX7."
You are a hypocrite. I see no credit to the RX-7 that won the race. He did win the race. Winning is truly winning, plain and simple. Also, you weren't doing the driving, it wasn't your car so don't say you could beat it until you would actually race it. That's like me saying I could take my car to a track and do circles around porsche 911s. I can say that all I want, but until I actually get on to the track, I'm just talking.

I'm not trying to be an a**, but I've learned a lot with reading between the lines. I'm not offended by you saying that the civic could walk up and down it or whatever, I don't care, because it was a race.

Also, was this rotary with a port, and if so a street, bridge or peripheral? That right there can create 500hp with not that much boost.

AZMC was entered in the car show at the track when they were filming that episode. We watched it live. Let me say after I seeing it live I don't even watch the show anymore. The host is even worse in person. I did get to see myself on PINKS when they did a close up of the crowd. LOL
Attached are some of the pictures I took at the track

Its made for TV. The host is arragant. I agree with a lot of the other reasons posted above. Having watched it only on TV I'd probably still watch it because its chopped into a 30 minute show. But it was an all day filming for 2 episodes and we left before they finihsed the show with the mini van VS an old camero.
Just kind of got turned off with it in person.

After watching this clip, I'm glad I didn't waste my time going out there to watch.
I though pinks was always straight up. none of this I'll give you x amount of car lengths crap.

RedCivic you name the track and the time then we will see if a EG FWD civic can dust an RX-8.
Until that time comes, I think you should be a bit more humble.
My $1.02

Dude are you serious? AT&T center parking lot at the the next SASCA autox. I will borrow a friends EG or you would you substitute an 88 CRX HF? Put your money where your mouth is.
BTW, the specs of the RX7 were listed in the clip.
