Being able to chirp the tires with an R18 Civic is simply a result of crappy all season tires and a fresh clutch. The clutch grabs hard and the tires slip. Give it a few thousand miles when your clutch is worn in and swap a grippy set of tires and it won't chirp. You could chirp the tires in beat up old Geo Metro if it had a perfomance clutch and bald tires.

Besides, since when is chirping your tires a measure of speed, power or driving ability? It is irrelivent just like "How many fingers is your drop?"
