    Yes they are...as are the superflow units. They take vehicle weight and load it accordingly to whatever condition your heart desires via a HUGE electric motor.......The one a local friend has will load 600hp continuous...1200hp for an acceration run. Pretty cool to see.

      Those of you that hate on cars like this make me laugh. It's not like 300+ HP M20 turbo's look good under the curve either. Plus any E30 non-M with 300+ HP will have just as many traction issues as that Civic.

          TJ...Are you kidding me? e30's are the best cars ever. Thats why all of us have one. Oh sure, we could afford a brand new Ferrari F430 but everyone KNOWS that the e30 is FAR superior to anything else made. We would appreciate it if you would keep your opinions to yourself. They are always wrong.

            Yes. Best handling car ever. With most advanced suspension. We can laugh because we make Honda's doublewishbone suspensions look as low-tech as mustangs.

            And we are automatically better than a Honda owner because we in fact drive BMWs.

              That's right. And, corvettes use leaf-springs.

                Thanks! i'm gonna have to try one of those out. I think there is a mustang closer to me than a dynojet.

                  675 horsepower in a civic is like strapping rockets to your rollerblades...you're fast and all but everyone still knows you're gay.

                      Impressive. A lot of work to be sold after finally being able to drive it though.
                      Different strokes for different folks.
                      99/00 are my fav body style when modded clean.

                        Yeah, another advantage to that civic is after 1500 miles when the motor explodes, you'll get in awesome shape walking everywhere. I'll take my e30 and my RWD, diving boards or not lol.

                          At least before he modded that Civic he could have still had a warranty. :shrug:

                            Spoken like a truly ignorant E30 owner.

                            I'd bet my car that the Honda with 600hp is more reliable than any M20 with 600hp.
