i raced an 06 si and literally got pounded on......the start wasn't that bad im an auto so....he got me by 1 car then he slowly pulled once he probably hit his 3rd he beat me by like...3 cars and pulled pretty hard
i raced a 2000 and i kept up w/him i beat him 2/4 races...
and i raced a LS swapped honda and he beat me by like 1/2 car i beat him 2/5 races
How embarassing.
This is why you don't try to 'save on insurance' and 'pony up' for the GT.

i am now laughing my *** off this thread is crazy funny...

but i wouln't totaly write off the v6... i was at a mustang meet and i met a sc'd sixer wit the whole package i think it was 39 lb injectors 9not sure how many lbs.). high flow fulepump, 13 pis pully 8.8 diff stage 2 racing clutch, short sshift... thats just some things i can remeber but when i saw him dust a v8 my jaw dropped... i was tol that he likks the local skylines in the area and everyone thinks he got a v8... don't get me wrong he probably spnt a ****load of cash but he's got the bragging rights now... a v8 is a street monster but its had to brag that you beat a civic running a v8... i would love to hav a 5.0 in my stang but i don't know wut to do... i would really like to be able to have a killer 6 so for the next 2 to 3 years that's pretty much my goal... maybe i'll try to get a 5.0(i don't want a 4.6) after my sixer is complete...
then get a v8, so you dont have to worry about braging about civics [&:]

aim at something else...

I drive the 07 SI, its really not all that bad of a car. If you want to race one go fromdig, that should keep you close enough that you have a chance. If you go from a roll good luck because if you drop that thing in 3rd gear it really gets moving on the highway.

yeah if wanna know what to do to your car to make it faster and beat people, then get a v8. 6 shooters are for ladies. v8 ftw
Where's buckman or Fazm at when you need em?Their 6 shooters would blow your doors off and probably change your way of thinking about the lowly six.[sm=gears.gif]

Believe it or not the 4 door will only be a tenth or two slower than the 2 door with the same driver. A good driver will beat the 2 door with the 4 door every time. The 4 doors only weigh 60 pounds more.

Yeh but let me push that kind of $$$ into my V-8 and watch what i do.

You can make anything fast, look at your 4 cyl....its fast isnt it?

Ever seen that video of the mini van running 9's? If it has wheels you can make it fast, but it is much more practical to start with something that has more potential.

V8 has way more potential than a V6, obviously.
