Yeah, if his cobra is only making 390 then 325 with your weight should have been enough to take him. Or at least make it close.

Nice death, and nice Civic. There is nothing rice about a 325 hp Civic.

You forget, although the Cobra is heavier, the mass of the car is already moving, so although the weight of the car is still a factor, it's not as great a factor as if the car were at a stop.

Also, The Cobra is making a ton more torque down low than a boosted Civic, so on the initial hit, it's not suprising the Cobra got a big jump on you.

Yeah, driving for a month and you have a Civic with 325hp? Or at least you thought it did, now you say your car was tuned on a engine dyno because you don't have WHP numbers? And in another post you said you ran 12.4's on slicks? Your not making any sense dude :kaboom:

My thoughts exactly. Been driving for only a few months but has a turbo'd civic. Has no idea the hp. My trucks been on the dyno once. I can quote the numbers in my sleep.
