^ I had watched the better part of a bottle of Glenkinchie disappear between me and a friend a bit earlier so I wasn't sure if it was really funny or not.
I sometimes get the urge for some 55k torque after a few, which of course is a very stupid idea. I never drink and drive, but I have been guilty of drinking and posting a time or two.

The Twin Turbo G8's are serious beasts. With just the Twin Turbo kit those cars will do low 11's and put down about 550rwhp. However, the kits run around 20k so you won't see many who have them. The Supercharger kits can be had for about 7k so a little more resonable route. I know one guy with the Twin Turbo G8 who has built the motor and trans and run a 10.9 but you'll spend Mercedes type money to do all those mods. But without forced induction you'll barely get out of the 13's no matter what mods you do in the G8.

G8's a great looking cars. the funny thing about a Civic with 40k in upgrades is its still only worth what it was without the upgrades if you wanted to actually sell it. I don't know anyone shelling out 40K for a Civic even if it runs 9's.
