Re: Is 11 sec a realistic number?

I have one little problem with this statement..

"the last time I looked the only production cars that could get into the 11s were super exotics (McClaren F1, etc)."

Thats from factory... why do you think they make aftermarket parts such as turbos and motor buildups. If you dont think you can get a honda into 11s, I think you need to research a little more.

Ill even help you into the right direction.. Go talk to Boosted3g about not being able to get a daily driven car into the 11s and beyond.. He could probably go on for days about how many he's seen [not to mention he owned one, before he started changing it to strickly race..] or go talk to MatT3T4 about his civic.. He's probably got a story or 2 for you..
