i remember reading about a fully loaded civic with a K series swap in it running 11s all motor. If i didn’t read so many forums I would tell you where it was, but there was video and everything of it. maybe one of the honda people know of it… but lets bring this post back on topic… parts look good shelby. Does anyone make traction bars like on the hondas for the neons? That would probably yield the most impressive gains on the track because the wheel would not be able to bounce. If not, perhaps 1st Try or Domination could fab something up similar to the honda setup. good luck and get some seat time, I know thats the bigges thing i need! ---

there are alot of motor mounts and now some companies are puttin out some lower control arms for the SRT’s i dont know if any of them would bolt up to the NA 2.0 or what ever motor your dealin with jeff. i think that having a daily driver in the low 14’s possibly 13’s is awesome. i would love to have my SRT and camaro. oh yeah. you may want some cam gears to dial them in also. ---

I’m not trying to be a dick- you seem like a pretty knowledgeable guy in the the other threads of yours I’ve read. But your just plain wrong here. 90%…lets see, 89-99 comprises 10 years. 90% of ten years = 9 years. From 93-99, the V8 Camaro utter dominated the top of line DSM stock to stock. That’s six years, or 60%. So for four years, the DSM comes out on top. 40%. Get it? 🙂 ---
