Rep Power: 849 
we were originally plannin on puttin it in my car but emmisions and a lot of work since i turning 16 in may and i want to be able to drive right away. he will keep it on the stand in the back till i get something else or w/e.lol spare motor i guess. hes got a spare 4 speed trans too that i could use. so basically i have a drivetrain minus rear end if i want but id rather get a good running IROC and go from there for a first car, its too much work.

It really comes down to logic 4 me tho as well. 1st of all I dont even want to know how much it cost him 2 build that. I can gurantee you can build a small or big block putting out twice that horse power and tripple that torque for a fraction of what he paid. I didnt want it so i donno if his is all motor but it really doesnt matter at all (itll just cost him that much more if it is). The small or big block im talkin about would have a power adder ofcourse. But ya for a fraction of the cost. Plus those cars are front wheel drive. I just dont see the point is spending such a **** load of money on a fwd car to go the same speed you could in a v8 rwd machine for a fraction of the cost. Sure its a "nice" civic (if there even is such a thing) but like its been said before.

I wont even bother watching it.
