Honda Tuning

Has anyone seen the new Honda Tuning Magazine? There featured car is a 4 DR 7th GEN with a K20A Swap. They claim a 1/4 @ 10.9, but this is what my friend is telling me. Can anyone verify for me, im gonna pick up a copy of Honda Tuning after work.

I have the mag in my hand now looking at the article and I see nothing about it running any 1/4 times.
The most it says about running anything, is trying to get the engine running .... , as Voice said.

mikalem is on a distinguished road
It's finished, the article stated that the car did run after their photoshoot visit - Hasport is suposed to add a turbo to it and call HT back so they can take some numbers with the "finished" car......

Holy ****, an engine swap = 200HP and the body graphics = 240HP! Yup, it runs 10.6 cuz it's a Civic and it's got a "real" VTEC in it. Makes you wonder why they didn't just throw the stickers on the RSX-S.
