yeah i have the mag, the times are terrible for some of those cars, i dont understand how rsx-s with turbo and so much damn hp is running the 1/4 mile so slowly when catalyst is running a 13.6. hks turbo'd rsx-s was running a 15.3, the dc sports turbo'd type s was running a 14.5, and the hasport civic with k20 swap and rev hard turbo was running a 14.3. so these guys have this hasport civic worth 36 grand and its not even getting that good of numbers

The show is on again Sunday. TNN (Spike TV). Check your local listings for times.

Don't compare those 1/4 mile times to a trip to the drag strip. There is no comparison, it was hot and humid, the tires types were controlled, the 1/4 mile had no rubber laid down like a drag strip does, and the cars were set up with mega camber to corner on the road course. The turbo Civic EX is probably a 12 second car on slicks at the strip. The supercharged EP probably is too.
