300 HP at the wheels in a civic is going to be hard to beat if he hooks up.
One of those weigh...2500 lbs or so & figure 2700 "race" weight unless he gutted it.
So that is a LOW 12 sec ride if he has all his ducks in a row.
Those civics are lighter then 2500 lbs. i'll garuantee you, they are light, even if its not 300 to the wheels, if its pushing 300 FWHP it'll run hard, i ran 12.5s with 280-290 RWHP at 3200 lbs., that civic is a good 800-900+ lbs. lighter then my 71 dart, so your looking at an 11 second car if he can leave good on the boost & hook up, basically a clean run.
Here at our local track there were 2 civics running 1 night, both local guys, I saw 1 run on 3 weekends, the 1 was a plain jane no thrills, his best time was 11.5 @ 117 & none were clean runs, the other was a little "monster", it was in a sence "no thrills" looking, i know the guy personally, he has a local car lot, Its a single turbo, He could never get off a clean run, he mowed down just about everything at the track 1 night LOL, car only made 10.4s best ET, but the MPH was 138-142 , this car was tagged too.
