We'll my grandpa owns a storage buisness and down back theres a nice straight piece of pavement a little over a 1/8 mile. Well me and a couple of friends went down one night to race. I had my 2000 civic ex coupe d16y8, my buddies 1990 Integra, 2005 Ford Focus Zx3, and a 2006 Scion tc. I beat the integra by 2 1/2 cars. I think a part of that is he has a system in the back and i dont. I lost to the Focus by a fender I was pissed i lost bc we always fought over who had the faster car. I raced him again and lost by another fender. and I didn't even bother racing the tc because I'm not dumb and knew it would kill me. So thats how my night went. I was pissed we didn't get any videos though especially after we were done racing i realized i had my video camera with me.
A d16y8 with bolt ons will almost keep up with a scion in a straight line and be quicker in turns. The scion is quite a bit heavier i think and only has like 30 more hp (although it does have quite a bit more torque)

Yea it is a good place to race it was there since 1999 but i just know figured to go down there and race lol. But yea i hate focus to. I'm going to do some little more mods to my car and take him again.
my buddy has a 03 focus svt. it was pretty slow up until last week. he got it custom tuned.. (he also has intake and exhaust) i could take him from a roll easily in my gti.. and i annihilate him off the line. but since he got the tune.. hes quite a bit faster from a roll (i still take him from a dig because he has no torque) but dont just assume focus' cant be quick.
nice kill on the integra tho.. any mods to it or is it stock?
any mods to your car?? if youre stock now, i/h/e will give you a real good edge on that focus.
