I have a couple of videos wuth civic pushing well over 500 hp and being street driven.

Anohter thing to keep in mind is that a turbo'ed car could very well be streetable, just as long as you keep it out of high boost.

also a 2500lb car wouldnt need the 800hp itd take to pull a 3500lb v8 down the track, it'd need more like 550 to run the same times with everything being equal.
Agreed, This is the power to weight thing, no matter how ricer you think it is GT, its true. In one of the vids i have, they are pushing 489 whp and running low 11s. Doesn't the new 405 hp vette runs mid 12s (im too lazy to search)?
