Message	It would take bigger turbos to stand a chance against that. I just got done watching a video of a guy in a Civic hatch with B18B fully built motor with 60-1 turbo at 20 lbs boost race a 580 hp Viper that ran 10.6 at 133. From a 3rd gear roll, they were even and the civic pulled slightly ahead, and 4th gear the viper inched about a half car ahead... but it was pretty damn even. Put 400-500 whp in something that only weighs 2000 lbs and you have a force to be reckoned with. Of course traction will be his biggest pitfall, but from a roll you better be packing some serious power.
