oh, and another thing- an a4, 3.23 geared fbod with drag radials, a 'verter and a 125hp dry shot will more than run with a stock z06, still get good gas milage, be 100% legal and keep the stock 10-bolt intact. all without spending much more than $1500.

so what happens when you run across one on the highway willing to race? you gonna stop in the middle of the highway and go for a 1/4 of mile from a dig? even on the spray that z06 will walk away from a roll. even a slow roll. a stalled up auto with juice means jack sh*t. it might be quick but its not fast.

but when a Prelude that is modified significantly does this to beat a car with much more cubes, then the crying starts.

and a stock Prelude with ATA will put an Fbody to shame in the handling department.

know what else is also funny, people keep talking about weight while ignoring the fact that the lude had 2 people in it. a car thats weighs 2900 lbs stock. if only it was a civic instead of a prelude...

Everytime a Honda beats an fbody there are pages of escuses, and bitching. and its always the same things "its just a civic"
it must have cost 40 grand to do that"
"that camaro had no mods"
"what happens if you put the same mods on an fbody"
"my uncles friends daughters boyfriends cousins friends sisters husbands nephew knows a guy with a faster camaro"

are their any mature people left on this site?

some ppl race from a roll, some from a dig. some from both. a ran a fella with a '99 z/28 with only cold air, cat-back and a 120 hp wet shot. he trapped 118 uncorrected on a DA of 2800' and prolly would have done better than his 12.4 if he would have had a better 60 ft (2.2x). it was an m6, though. i doubt he would have much trouble out of a z06 on the highway.

oh, and to your "stalled up auto with juice means jack sh*t" remark- call high 11's anything you want...

um actually he would have. most stock z06s trap 116-118 from what ive seen IN PERSON. i would say maybe a car at he MOST.

i will call it whatever i want. i cal 11s at over 130 mph fast. i call high 11s at 113-115 slow for a modded car on juice.

NEVER. There's more to that car if it's making 379 rwhp.

Jason [/B]

preludes are 2.2 litres, GSR's are 1.8 litres. this GSR made 449whp on 14 psi on 9:1 compression link

but an H22 cant make 379whp on 9psi with stock 10.0 compression??

maybe you need to mod turbo cars for 8 more years.

it matters because i want to know if you think your car is quick 'n slow or quick 'n fast or whatever. i'm just trying to see the other person's arguement by gauging his perspective is all. do tell...

no, you want to know what he runs for the same reason everyone wants to know what anyone runs in an argument. to pick part his numbers to use it against them. this topic has offcially gone off tangent...

honda beats fbody..
fbody owners are mad/insecure/threatened by it..
fbody owners trash talk to feel better...
somebody who respect fast cars in General steps up and says something in defense..
fbody owner sees it as an act of treason..
fbody owner commences childish name calling on said person, then wants to know what car he drives or how fast it is so he can know what specfically he needs to say to try to pick apart that person...

this happens EVERY single time a honda beats an fbody. it never fails.

when corvette beats fbody on this site its
when a civic does it its
grow up.

Who cares it's a prelude for gods sake!! All ricers try to do is get as fast as a V8. In my city all i see is wanna be fast 4 bangers! Now some are fast and that's great give him his props!! But you gotta understand we don't care about beating a 4, 6 banger! We want the vettes,vipers and so on. All the ricers come looking for us and try picking a fight to see what their car can do, we don't look for them!!So let him have his victory cause in the end all he has is a ugly (fast) Prelude! And in the back of his head he's really saying I WISH I HAD AN CAMARO/TRANS AM!!

you assume that you know what my motives are (and you are quite wrong, btw). well, just so that i don't assume things, how in the hell did you get all of that above bull**** out of what i have posted here?? you are taking some pretty big leaps, buddy. and i need to grow up?? how am i being childish? direct quotes for my posts to support your point of view please so that no words get put into my mouth.

and i feel pretty sure that 87camracer can speak for himself as opposed to having someone else to take up for him, don't you think? i asked a pretty simple question and i want to know what he drives that he can call ANY 11 second car in any aspect of it's straight line performance slow. everything is relative... i'm trying to get his perspective. how is that wrong?

surely not as slow as my brother's I4 ford ranger pickup, correct? how would you feel and what would your reaction be to him if he told you how slow your car is?
