well i streetraced tonight..it was a white 92-95 civic hatchback, w/ a b16a swap with upgraded cams and i/h/e and maybe a shot of nitrous..so after so talking went down, we rolled out to find a spot. we caught i light at strawberry farms on 161.. so a dig :D i was happy..light turns green and im gone. i launch it perfectly and and everything..after straighening out the car b/c of torque steer, i grabbed 2nd and started to pull and pull..
at the end of the race i was shutting down at like 110 or so and i had about a bus length or so on him...we keep going and turn around and head back to the thrift store to exchange words....and thats the end of it...i peronsally thought we decided on $20 to race but he said his pass said not for money...so i did not make any gas money, but he did put up a good fight till i grabbed third and then it was over.......thats my story and now im tired so im out for the night :beer

ah yes, let me correct this a bit

wasnt a b16a (160/170hp depending on generation)
it was a b18c1 (172hp, 1.8L)
I/h/e, test pipe, and most likely cams since it was hanging with the talon till some what top of 3rd (then we pulled).

pretty quick for a na motor.

I thought with all wheel drive torque steer is at a minimum?

that is, until you make some madpowayo! it's usually just some wheel spin in the rear with the torque kickin the backend out, atleast that's what mine did.

The owner of that white Civic H/B also lost to Sonny's Excursion from a dig. That night was comical.
