Title: Holy hell of a import sleeper.

 browsing around hotrod.com I found this... Civic (http://hotrod.com/featuredvehicles/22838/)
If those quarter mile times are true. I bet most of us wouldn't want to get our pants caught down with this one racing it.

487 hp @ 7,300 rpm on the dyno, and enough torque to require a Quaife torque-sensing limited-slip unit to control the front end!  ...pass a Texas smog test and still turn in a thrifty 29.3 mpg (combined).  Eaton M-62 reworked and now running 27 psi.

That's a sleeper!    I want to know about how he did these knock-sensors and strain gauges?

ever driven a FWD car with an open diff? regardless of torque, a Quaife would be nice, my dodge scared me with torque steer, even when it was running py
