Like most platforms, it's the man and not the machine.... although a willing machine is always a bonus.b

I've watched enough videos of enough high HP hondas hitting enough shitty times to realize that much.

11.8's mean about 120ish mph traps? So going on that the car only weighs about 3200 pounds if you reverse engineer a few HP calculators, not that they're accurate, but it's hard to find 600-700 pounds of stuff to cut out of that chassis. The cars are tanks, pure and simple, I used to troll the MKIII supraforum, pictures of various poles with more damage than cars were common.

i honestly dont think it would be hard to find 600 pounds of ---- to come out of a toyota from that generation. both front seats all teh random cast iron brackets on the motor all the metal bars in the door and ----. id say you could push it. hell that motor should be able to make more power than that also. im going to shoot for 450 on a 3sgte. ive seen people hit 4 on stock 3sge's. i wish i could find an mk3 turbo in good shape for a good price.
