Your right about that.. Aftermarket parts would probably do more harm then good for this thing, but hell for $1M, I shouldnt have to buy anymore parts for it.

I have read many people who spent over $5k on turbos, header, etc and are getting low 14s. Going from 14 to 12 or 11 is huge. I'm not saying it can't be done, but on a daily driver that the owner wants to last a while? That seems a little unrealistic.

You right again.. Its not a cheap process at all to make a car that fast, especially from a 1.6L 4 cyl. Honda, its not an easy task but in no way is it unrealistic.. I mean, well can put someone on a different planet.. Why couldnt we put a Honda in the 11s. Granted you dont just bolt something on and *pow* your in the 11s running with the big dogs, it takes a lot of hard work and time, and money to do. But nothing is unrealistic. Im sure there were lots of things in the 1800's that seemed unrealistic if we would could have told them about the things of today. But thats what seperates the Boys from the Men so to speak..
