The Fastest Honda Civics In The World Probably Don’t Even Cost $20,000

If you want to build a fast car, why not start with a Civic? It’s exciting to see a Civic suddenly come out and blow other cars out on the drag strip. Some of them are almost unbelievably fast, like sub six-second quarter mile fast. However, considering how much power can be squeezed out of Honda engines it’s not surprising when someone extracts enough to make jaws drop. What does it take for Civics to be fast? There are many schools of thought, but for a lot of people it seems to start with the Honda B engine family, commonly the B16.

This engine can be found in Civics and Integras from the very first VTEC motor in 1989 until 2000. These engines aren’t the strongest things around. But as you can see with what one guy did to his B16, a tune, some pistons and a “little” forced induction clearly can unleash the true potential of Honda’s tiny 1.6-liter engine. Here’s one going 200 mph.
