While the B18 motor ran a lot quicker, I seriously doubt whatever that K20 was in was designed for 455hp. Now if you applied some serious power to say...an S2000 you'd probably see more gains since the car is made to handle being wound up and pushed hard ocassionally. Besides...FWD + big power has rarely equaled quick times. At least not without some serious suspension work and big ass front slicks.

Well the hasporst civic (red devil) had all that done (1.02 on the skidpad) to it while the other one was made for auto cross and just ran 11's
