**tigersport14** · 09-13-2007, 06:35 PM

so today i was hangin out at a local gas station(QT) and this kid with a turbo hatch pulls up and starts revvin.. so i get in my car and follow him out onto the road. so i get up next to him and he wanted to do it from 40. so im like.. ok.. so i honked 3 times and we both floored it, it was a little close at first but once i hit about 4k rpms i started to pull away hard, and by about 90 i had 3 cars on him. so then i asked him to do it from 25. so i gave him a 3 car lead. i honked and right as my car shifted into 3rd i fly by him.. it was fun.. haha woo +1 for the ls1

what do u have done to ur car??...a turbo hatch should hold its own agains anything stock...i would think even with low boost levels a stock turbo 5.0 should have over 300whp. good kill though!

What kind of turbo hatch was it??? It's always good to say what kind of car you raced.

I had a asian kid named Chewa from my high school, tell me his 06 SI would walk my T/A at 70mph+, he has exhaust, header, and cold air intake, rims a cusom hood and thats about it. I said your a moron, why do these kids talk before the do research.

Not to defend honda's but there's about a dozen where I'm at running 10's and 1 about to hit nines soon. That being said I'd rather drive my TA and run 13's.

**2000T/A Guru** · 09-15-2007, 05:57 AM

Lol yes there are hondas out here that run 10s, but they still look like shit and there are tons around here who are just turbo and run low 15s high 14s, some hitting 13s, but i still wax that ass.

**zero_proto** · 09-15-2007, 07:29 AM

waxing the rice ass is fun. I mean i just like to bully them around. I doubt there any hondas on the road that will be able to beat me, unless they have a jet engine.........

**slims00ls1z28** · 09-15-2007, 08:32 AM

Sure there are honda's in the 10's but with the equivalent mods on something such as an LS1 car would probably be akin to running 8's. Much like the gutted colt with motor swap, turbo, exhaust sticking through the front bumper, no alternator full slicks edging me out at the track once 13.2 to 13.4. I wasn't impressed He drove his home on a trailer I drove mine home as it was.

**JwMonE99** · 09-15-2007, 11:33 AM

FWD race cars don't impress me at all

For every 100 dumbass ricers that claim that their Honda run's 10
s, there is about 1 out of those 100 that can actually pull a 10. And its always some gutted, fully built, caged turbo drag car thats not street legal in the least. Impressive?? Hell no, just goes to show you can make any piece of shit fast if you waste enough money on it.

True most times but not in the case I'm talking about. Alot of guys remove the seats but that's about it down here. I think I've got some clips from the track I'll try to find.
