    If you don't have nitrous, I don't think there's any way that car is running high 12's. Even with sticky tires and a really good driver I think you're looking at low 13's, but I could be wrong. The civic will be no match for you, assuming you can get traction, even with nos. Practice your launch and you should be taking the other cars as well.

    As for tires, the KDW is a great tire. Here's a link to their tirerack page (they are $179/tire): http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....speed_rating=Y

    Here's a link to tires for your car sorted by price. Keep in mind that with tires, you generally get what you pay for... and tires are the only part of your car that actually touch the ground. You don't want to skimp with them. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/Compar...=0&sortValue=0

    Go to that page and check out the reviews and rating for each tire, then grab the one that's best for your situation. I'd say you're looking for a high "dry traction" number while maintaing a decent "wet traction" and "cornering stability" number.

        The door jamb would contain an SLP decal stating that it was designated as a firehawk. A real Firehawk would have Firehawk wheels and not WS6 wheels, the SLP decal would be on the door jamb, the hood would have the 330 HP decals and the Firehawk insignias would be on the wheel centers, rear panel and larger decals on the doors and back bumper. Contact SLP engineering if you have any doubts.

          as Joe said, they'll be a sticker on the driver's door jamb or SLP can tell you by the VIN number if it's a true Firehawk.
