See sig, it goes low 12's as well. also has full leather interior, real glass power windows, ice cold air, cruise, tilt, cd player, XM radio, and can tow a honda to the track if need be 
Maybe I should strip it and get a stand alone?
In all seriousness, it looks good, I can't see me with something like that, but I can appreciate what you're trying to do.

Alternativeauto,
Looks verry clean, best of luck with it.. Had my last combo in my mustang running LOW 10's all motor (of course it weighed 3000lbs+), lot of work and tuning, but all worth it in the end..
Wouldn't care if it were a 14 second trailer queen, as long as it's what you want or what you're working towards, screw everyone else...

Glad to see a couple people looking past the #'s and appreciating the car for its potential. Not that I need to make any excuses, but when the car made its first three passes (the 12.2's). The motor was just assembled and thrown in the car. This car went from a pile of parts and a painted chassis to what you see in the pic in one weeks time (wish i could be that motivated every week). The motor has not been degreed in yet, the injectors are too small, the header was too small, the slicks were to small, the throttle body was stock, and was running on a near stock program. Wasn't looking to impress anyone with the #'s, if I was I would have lied and said it went faster. Just wanted to show what I did and with hopes to see everyone else post pics of the cars they drag race. My 103 c.i. stroker hardtail will go 10's on the air shifter, maybe I should have posted a pic of it.

No benefit against a RWD car with larger displacement, but I won't be racing against those. The vehicle was built to run a particular class. As to the question why a fwd 4 cyl. My answer is simply a true gearhead will try to make anything go fast, regardless of drive orientation and #'s of cylinders. If drive orientation and cylinders was the Basis of why or why not to drag race a car, then everyone should be racing mid engine rear drive V12's, but that wouldn't be practical. Some people have a camaro in their driveway so thats what they build, i personally do a large amount of performance work at my shop on imports, and have extra civics to dick with, so thats what i built. Hell, people race lawn movers and gas powered bar stools. Its really not about what you are racing, its about the thrill and the love for the sport.
