A Class 2D Porsche can clock a 1:45 at Eastern Creek in the hands of a capable driver easy. Can any 4 banger rice rocket come even close to that?

Some of those K-series powered Elise's are running in the high 1:30's. Not bad for a 4 banger rice rocket eh :p

I hardly consider an Elise a Rice Rocket Ya...certainly not at 70~80K a pop and then add the K Series mod.

Yeah the b16b is more comparable to a b18cR than a b16a. If you want power closer to a b18cR but would like to stay 1600cc (and don't really plan on cracking the engine open and doing any internal work), a b16b is the ultimate choice.

Why has this turned into people comparing a Civic with a GT3? How can you even begin to line the two cars up and expect your comments to maintain credibility? Everyone is different. Some people want a high performance car, just add water. For other people it's more about the journey and the customisation and the DIYs. Either which way, if you reply to someone's post you should be offering them relevant and helpful information, not insulting their personal choices.

Personally I find it amusing watching a backyard Honda racing around with Porsche cup cars and I'm sure the Honda driver does too. Doubt he's beating himself over the head for not being able to compete with their lap times.
