Yeah my cousin had a talon all done up! They are fast cars but he spent more damn money making that thing fast and keeping it from breaking its was ridiculous. But you have to be very didicated to DSM if you run Talons the AWD is awesome though!

Wow, I'm surprised no one in the forum incinerated you for racing on the street! I like this forum. At any rate, as far as Integras, GS-Rs' 0-60 and 1/4 mile times are frighteningly close to those of older GT's--maybe even the same as AOD's. They run like 7-sec and 15's respectively. In fact, the older Integras--I believe, 94s and 95s--are quicker than the newer ones (GS-Rs, that is). I had a 2001 model GS-R (last year before the RSX), and was surprised that the times were listed as being so close to those of 5.0s; although the Intergras don't feel anywhere near as fast, due to low torque (140lbs, if memory serves). I am suprised that he got you off the line--those 1.8L motors take some rpms to get going, as they have an 8100 rpm redline.
Incidentally, when I had my Integra, I couldn't drive for an hour without some kid wanting to race. I was foolish (and an alchoholic) back then. I don't race on the street anymore (don't drink much either), but since I got my GT, no one has even tested me. Go figure!I wish they would--I'm craving a good light-to-light.

RE: an Integra??
My friend has a 97 tsi awd and they are pretty quick. We hit 147(downhill). But besides that they rip pretty hard but weigh alot more than a mustang. They weigh between 42-4500 lbs. I think it would be a good race but he would of smoked you off the line.
