You sure aren't making playing devil's advocate easy here!

Just because it looked to be in street trim doesn't mean it didn't have weight reduction. Some members here pride themselves on weight reduction that you'd never see, unless he was stopped and you knew where to look. And I wouldn't think skinnies would be worth that much...maybe a tenth-ish? 3.70 gears instead of 4.30s would help with the launch instead of sitting there spinning. 2v GTs are slackers, but they're not as bad as you're saying. I'm pretty sure if you did boltons/gears/DRs/125 shot/weight redux on a friggin Civic you could get high 13s. You're making this car slower and slower every time you post
