Seriously though. If you are wanting the fastest car on the streets and you can't make up your own mind for an engine to swap in, something is wrong.

If you want to beat anything, you definitely need a JATO:

maybe you should have brought some american muscle .... the fastest ep i have heard of is only running 12s ... which is fast for an ep but not anywhere near the fastest car on the street. an ls1 camaro will hit 12s will minor bolt-ons; some even have hit it stock. so you see for your goal of "beating any car on the street" you have already started off wrong.

JATO PWNS j00!!!!


hahaha that was a nice article. anyway, cybernation took their rsx-s to 500 hp, so i guess a k20a2 and some cybernation would do you 500 hp? goodluck... where's 87gn? i'm surprised i haven't heard the phrase "get a gn" yet. :D

look here boy, seems like you just got your driving license. so i suggest you to:

1. first thing you would really need to do, is to learn how to drive right.
2. second thing you would need to do is to play with your car first and learn how to launch and shift the right way.
3. third thing, you also might wanna learn how to change your tires too if it happens to be flat.
4. ok, so i figure you are a good driver now and very familiar with your car now. this will the best time for you to do your major mods. i say k20a is the best motor for our the ep.
5. last but not least, you might wanna start thinking again whether you should race in the streets or not.

you dont really need the fastest car on the street. but what you really need is to learn to be the best driver and be the smartest driver.
