no, meant like drop a turbo and run 15psi, with some aluminum heads with a car that weighs around 1400 pounds,it wouldnt even be funny, those little bugs can get into the 9's with about 1/3 the price it would take to get a civic there... just a big power/weight ratio

Civics can not touch older Bugs $ for $. Man you could take a bug and throw around $3000 at is and pull the front wheels off the ground in the first 3 gears.
