the 1/4 mile.

	she weighs 2200 lbs (approx),plus my fat ass weighs about 180 lbs.  i
_rape_ stock civics.  if you recall, however, the civic that i raced and
subsequently lost to was of the GS-Red variety.  y'know, redline of
8200rpm, power all over the blinkin place...

	just to give you an idea, his top speed is 245km/h (152mph) or
thereabouts, which was positively measured with the aid of his friends'
Turbo II RX7.

	just thought i'd clear that up for ya.
