Honest question, is this Honda cool? The little Civic has a turbo and intercooler hanging off the front of it, has big drag slicks fitted to the front end and it shoots fire like a mother. Kevin Blalock, our San Antonio based drag photo guy sent us the photo of this mean little bastard in the water box at San Antonio Raceway.

Not to influence your decision making here, but you need to know a little bit about the very hot Honda shown below. Kevin tells us that the owner of the car said that the motor is setup to make more than 800hp when set on kill and the car has been living in the 9.20s on the quarter-mile down there in Texas. Once sorted out, eight second laps are the game plan.

Would we build it ourselves? Probably not, but damn this thing screws!

Here’s the question. Is this Honda cool? If so why? If not, what’s the problem?
