World's fastest Honda Civic on eBay

Autoblog http://atu.ca/d09

The latest records indicate that there is only one car with
the claim to the title of World's Fastest Honda Civic. That
car happens to belong to automotive writer Richard Holdener
and it is currently available for sale on eBay

Richard's Lucas Oil-sponsored 1999 Honda Civic Si ran a top
speed of 227.7 mph back in August of this year. Despite the
Civic's ability to produce 728 hp at 29 psi of boost, the
record was achieved with only 15.2 psi. Inherently weak
stock Honda CV joints were apparently the hold-up in laying
down the full power band. It certainly wasn't due to any
failure of the engine components, since the parts list
reads like a roll call of some of the best names in the
American Honda tuning game. Any small-displacement four
cylinder engine tuned to output in excess of 700 ponies has
to be stocked to the gills with improvements. The cost to
own this piece of history, and the potential to make some
of your own, starts at $21,777.77. The car's located in Las
Vegas, Nevada, so those must be some lucky 7's in the price.

Okay, sort of Civic body.
