Thread: I lost to a civic

Look at it this way...no matter what he does to it...it is STILL A HONDA.

Your kidding right?

too bad his setup is near maxed out and youve got enough potential running room its stupid to even debate if he will beat you later. an intercooler and a 3.2 will set him straight, like you said. but when you race him this time go from a dig and say youll put the pedal to the floor and not do a good launch. beat him by burning the tires past him and make him look like a fool.

dyno tune, and go from a lower roll and i think you got him.


thats when a little 60 shot would have came in handy

here is a video i saw last night of a k20 swap gutted hatch. moves out pretty good.

i highly doubt that your gxp would have done any better, sry man. I just don't see your car being faster than mine, i don't mean to sound like a prick but, im just saying

really tho, a gtp is meant for a dig, roll racing with a gtp is kinda stupid, unless your turbo'ed.

that civic really only started walking me by the 100mph mark, other than that, i was on his tail light

oh well, let him have his fun for now

another vid from his pov

that intense caned tune is holding you back alot, i think with just a dyno tune and a little bit better roll you got him. i did not see them come around you till half way thru third and well third aint really got that much to it. do a 40 if its a roll.

and your supposed to hit it right before the 3rd honk, that way when you hit the 3rd honk the trans is already downshifted and your ready to do

i completely agree the intense tune is holding me back a bit, i told him to make it conservative, and well he did, just so i can drive it everyday, Dave @ triple edge told me timing was set real low, and i have some room. I have a 3.6" zzp mps, just sitting in the box. The car does get some knock 1.4* was the most, in this cold weather. I don't know a whole lot about tuning, ive been wondering if it can be tuned out so i can run my 3.6?

lol yeah auto takes a sec to go from 4th to 2nd, we did about 6 runs, on one of them i hit it right before, so we got going at the same time, i did a little better, but he kept walking regardless

curb weight is low yes, but add the person and all the crap most people put in their cars... goes up quite a bit for the average joe and makes a huge difference

thats why most people do motor swaps and add turbos... they have to make alot more power to catch up to us... race from a dig and spank his A$$

That car at the most weighs 2600lbs. Not anything more, no ****ing way it's close to the 3s sorry, and a GXP would also get waxed by this car. GXPs do what in the quarter stock low 14's this is at least a mid 13 sec car. No chance.

If it's pushing 1,000 horsepower, especially from a Honda, that's pretty flucking amazing.

You're basically saying you don't like fast cars...

I have respect for all cars as long as they are fast. Esp. sleepers.

and you are entitled to your own opinion

What were Chevy Nova's back in the day?

They were econo-boxes...now, they're likely the most popular drag car among GM followers.
