eventually

I hate ricers.

I think that Honda guy shit his pants, he was raving like he just hit the lottery or something. Yet all he did was outrun a stock Mustang Cobra by a few lengths in his piece of shit modded-out Honda

This is going to get locked soon.

**mrr23** · 05-20-2006, 02:50 PM

**mrr23** · 05-21-2006, 03:58 PM

it most likely would have if i hadn't put myself into the thread to watch it.

He needs a supercharger too.

WHy are people suprised that a Honda can be fast? Why would anyone that considers themselves a car enthusiast have anything but praise for a car that weighs 2800lbs and is powered by a 1.6 to 2.2 liter 4cyl that makes enough power to hang with and in some case destroy vehicles with much more engine? I used to have a proven 10 second fully streetable Civic. How can you have any kind of a problem with that other then to be completely ignorant of what is out there?

**Mach1Mustang** · 05-22-2006, 10:08 PM

all i was saying was that the cobra was not a s/c and that neither seemed that fast. sure a civic can be fast, there are many in my area that are. if anyone knows of RLZ, there are right in my area, good friends of mine. His car is a street legal 9 sec civic. my other friend has a 400 hp civic. thay can be fast, but this one was not.

Because its a cheap, unattractive, crappy-ass economy car. It doesn't matter how fast it is, a fast piece of shit is still a piece of shit.

I have respect for fast cars that are actually nice, anyone can get a Civic hatch from the junkyard and rice it out

What the hell did you turn your headlights on for? Man, did he ever jump you out of the hole. What was your RT? What are those tires you are using? I wouldn't say that was an exemplary race. The Honda's fast and he knows to drive though.

Your car still looks better.

I remember back in the day people put 460's in Pinto's and kicked everybodys ass. POS car with a bigass engine. Its the same here, put enough money into a terd and you can make it fast, its just that many people have the opinion that Civics are POS too. Id rather drive a stock Cobra and get beat than drive a modded Honda.

i was turning on the parking lights and turned the switch all the way to lights. then turned them off the lower the lights. never said it weas exemplary. just showing that a f-body can lose to an import.

here's the timeslip.
20 jan 2005
distance ---- me ---- import
r/t --------- .245 ---- .136
60ft ------- 1.995 --- 1.795
330 ------- 5.446 ---- 4.991
1/8 ------- 8.232 ---- 7.646
mph ------ 88.87 ---- 93.43
1000 ----- 10.631 --- 9.913
1/4 ------ 12.678 --- 11.840
mph ----- 110.36 --- 116.32
right first .9476

i was motor only.

tires - 245/50-16 nitto DRs

**Black R/A** · 05-25-2006, 06:05 PM

I can't really argue with those numbers. .245 is pretty good. but right off the bat he's .1 ahead. Seemed like he had better traction, but in the end he's up there on HP too with 116.3. Yup, with enough boost you can make a pig fly.
