You gave ZERO info about either car. How can you expect to know how fast a car is without knowing the weight or power?
Although you did mention that he's running a d-series motor so I'd say that you are probably safe on this one. He could be running a lot of boost on a large turbo with nitrous and have a lot of weight savings done, but I doubt it. The fastest I'd worry about that car going is mid 12's.

I doubt it will be a good race at all. Making a d-series motor fast with a turbo is one step above going N/A. It can be done, but it's not really worth the money/effort. Plus you really can't go all that fast without having a full race car. Remember how I said that the k-series is the LS7 of Honda motors? Well the d-series is the 305.

yep stu is right... turbo sohc cars can be somewhat quick but not reallly fast. your 383 sounds very stout and should be fairly deep in the 12's. i think you have this one. as long as that 10bolt and T5 hold up
The 6th and 7th generation Civics. All the RSX's. I think they started putting them in cars in 2002.
If the Camaro only weighs 2,800 lbs, there won't be a problem.
Is this thread a joke? Seriously.
