A friend of mine completely re-built this little civic as a project car. He put an acura engine in it and turbo charged it. If you notice the title, it says shrek, but it ain't as green as the real deal. The hood and rear spoiler on the roof are both carbon fiber. In the video they were rolling down the highway at 70MPH and he was in fourth and dropped it into 3rd to hit 140MPH with more to go. He is working on getting it tuned better and taking it to the track afterwards to test its full capabilities. The car following him and taking the video is a C5 Corvette and the driver was taking the video Could have been a fun "test race."

Check it out, post some comments if you want.
