can't wait I'm going with a friend with a corvette and a friend with a 03 GT to go with my 04 GT. To top things off thursday is import night hahahaha. It should be a blast for sure

 

just dont get mad and post bs if you get smoked by a stock looking civic.

 

A stock looking civic? They still have them? I thought all of them had fart cans 3 or 4 wings, 20" wheels and graphix. Yeah watch out for the powerful 50 shot! They can gain a whole tenth or more....

 

last time i ran a stock looker he pulled a 12.2 and pissed me off good! last time i ran a ricer...well, you know!

 

Well to build one of those it takes alot more $$$ than most anyone around here is willing to sink into a Honda. I wonder how much of the car is still there, you know under it. Did it look as stock as Owends car does? If so that is a sleeper in every sense, cause Owneds car might run a 15 if it has a nice tailwind and a down hill track...

 

the kid i ran had a bone stock single cam 1.6 vtec d16y6 ex hatchback. all he had was a $2500 turbo kit with a mitsu td04 turbo and intercooler. i was humbled by immaculate tuning. thats what it all comes down to. tuning! (and low weight) he probably weighed 1800 lbs.

 

$2500 for a turbo? I get a set of killer race heads for that much. Oh wait I also have like 7.5L too, so uh yeah apples and oranges and tiny vs huge. Hey at leat I am not compensating and driving a Vette....lol... Oh yeah and with an engine that initially cost $200 more than the Turbo I ran 11.91@115 in a much heavier car. Is that tuning or is it more intelligent?

 

But can you get 30+ mpg driving to the strip?


I was going to go to the strip today and run the stang for ****s and giggles, but instead I stayed home and did a bit of lightening it. Check the thread in 5.0 to see progress.

 

Well there is more than 1 LS1 down here that can run 11's and get 28-30mpg highway

 

6th gear rocks...
