Looks like they recently bought it from a "GO" dealership, imagine taking that in on trade. :mellow:

Yeah, teh holes in the rear bumpers of some drag cars are to prevent the bumper from acting like a parachute and catching air, slowing the car down. But really, if air was properly managed at the front and sides of the car with a splitter and low side skirts, there should be very little air flowing under the car.

I still remember the first time I went to the drag strip in Phoenix with the car club. It was a busy night, we were in the staging lanes waiting to line up. I spotted this mid 90's Civic coupe riced to hell just ahead of me. Stripped interior, PepBoys seat covers and steering wheel questionably installed, presumably cut springs indicated by the uneven ride height, obnoxious exhaust, under car Neons, huge wing, and some stupid punk kid driving who looked like he just got is license and was stuntin the car like it was a 9-second turbo Civic.

So he gets to the staging line, attemps a burnout and fails, lines up, launches and proceeds to creep down the 1/4 mile at 19 seconds LOL. But the best was yet to come- after he does is Prius-rivaling 1/4 mile time, he pulls into the pits, pops the hood, and drops a big bag of ice on the intake manifold!!! I was like, "come on.....seriously"

The best part is he started talking some smack to a guy in our club with a Miata, mentioned something about it being a girl car. He wasn't hostile, just poking. So the Miata driver and him start talking, eventually they throw down $100 bucks or something. Too bad that Civic punk didn't even bother to peek under the Miata's hood, he was running a GT28 on a built block pushing 320-ish rwhp. Ran a 13.2 on street tires if I recall to the Civic punk's 19. That made our night.

yeah, if you are running a 10 sec 1/4 then I can see the bumper cutouts...othewise, uber rice. Just like the tools with the rollcages in an otherwise bone stock civic.

I think you could do even better if you push it off a cliff. :lol:

Lol those holes aren't for aerodynamics you fools, they're for weight savings!!! HAHA, all that extra plastic thats not there anymore...sheesh... amateurs

Yup, weight savings. The total of 10.4 oz you save in plastic!

I hate people that put roll cages in show cars. Unless your car is a dedicated track slut, I don't want to see a roll cage in it.

A few years ago when I took my SRT-4 to PMI there was a '90 Civic hatch with the rear bumper cutouts. He was running high 10s though, hehe.

I'm SOOOO pissed I missed it but I saw this riced to hell and back Eclipse on my way to work this morning.

Invader-style body kit zip tied on, stupid ass wing, loud ass muffler, purple window tint, and knock off rims. Best of all some gangster looking girl was driving, LOL.

I pulled out my Droid to snap off a picture but it was in video mode so I instead I shot a stupid 2 second video, got it in camera mode and by then she had moved lanes and I couldn't get a picture of her.

I had a seventh gen Toyota Celica showing off to me this morning. He wasn't trying to race but he wanted to make himself known. It was riced out a bit. had huge ugly side skirts and a camaro ss style hood and was blacked out.

haha, I think I know exactly who this. It wasn't black by any chance was it? And if its who I'm thinking of (actually there's two possibilities) both cars are SLOW as shit! But funny none the less.
