500 hp evo 8 vs 500 hp blown mustang cobra. Who wins? The evo8. NEXT.

The new RSX-S has 210 HP how much did the old type-r's have? I thought they were sub 200....

The Acura RSX type-s is our version of the new DC5 Honda Integra type-R with 220hp. They sell it here under the acura name because people here still have a hard time with assosciating Honda with performance.

wow looks great

really stop while your ahead :)

I understand that the Acura name only exists in the states but now you have me confused. You said they need to bring back the type-r's, but they are still around?

Yeah, Ok Buddy keep thinking that.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

I got my pink slip when and where.

of course there are cars that will be more powerful than this civic

just stfu when u complain about ur gas fuelup

Allow me to make you feel like a wanker, will you?

500hp evo vs 518hp cobra

I'm betting your camaro would be lucky to see low 13's.

He is right, the Mustangs are over rated. The EVO's are hot but they will get smoked off the line, no torque. Thats the problem with all small engines they need high RPMs to go fast but thats why they have six gears so you can keep them close to the red.

You call that fucking proof? Lmao.. Time slips vs timeslips = proof

Mustang didn't even want to waste his gas on that POS

Haha!!! Typical reply from a "my 13 second V8 is king" enthusiast.

V-Tech as in Virginia Tech. It's the car that parents get their kids when they send them off to a good State school like Virginia Tech.

That said, you can't go wrong with a Honda. Good practical, cheap and efficient transportaiton that is crazy reliable.

What are you showing me, a 4 wheel drive car? Thats reallly exciting. ALL imports are absolute shitbox dogs without a power adder. No turbo = pathetic

damn. thats one hell of a car!

Welcome to the modern car world, where it takes ingenuity to make hp, not throwing in a 350ci v8 that makes 250 hp. Anyway, now that it's been confirmed that a "shitbox" 2 liter inline 4 easily did away with a blown mustang cobra, you're grabbing desperatly for any argument to backup your big inneficient V8's. It's okay, you can come out of the corner you backed into, no one will laugh.

Edit: Sure, forced induction is pathetic... That must be why the worlds fastest drag cars use it!

Fine, I will bolt on a Vortech super charger change my rear end 4:10 and change the upper intake manafold. as well as the throttle to to 90mm. I can always do some head work also

Total cost 10,000.00 For a grand total of 27,000.00 for my Car


I will be running in the mid to high 10's

Don't worry guys I am not offended by imports I am an import also!! Born in Canada

The same could be said for any other car. Buy an early 90's honda, 2.2 liter prelude engine stroked to 2.5 liters, build it to run 10's for 20 grand...

Hell you could build a geo metro to run 10's if you were so inclined.

Edit: And now that I've mentioned it, a 10 second geo metro would be an excellent way to piss people off :1orglaugh

You wouldn't be able to run 10's.

FWD is a mother fucker

Look kid I been building motors for 15 years now and have seen it all. We love tearing you kids a new asshole on the southside of chicago on saturday night. Bring those bad blown chinese shitboxes out for some school lessons on big inch natural american iron.


Oh this ones gonna be a blast when finished, all motor little boy, the worse part about it, is that it will be in a 72 Pinto :1orglaugh
Nothing ingenous here

http://www.mybigblock.com/11.jpg

ohhh thats sexy =) I know a lot about my engine but not others...that isn't double carbs on top is it?

There's quite a few street driven Honda's running 10's, and even one or two into the 9's.

10 seconds

10 seconds

low 11 seconds

Not exactly street driven.. but.. 8 seconds

http://www.stefanoparis.com/crx/idrc.../images/55.jpg

9's enough said! There are people that like foreign cars and there are people that like American cars. Its a battle that will go on forever trying to change peoples minds on what they like.

THE Point I am trying to make... In order to get a 10 sec honda or 9 second honda.. You need to invest 60,000.00 into a 10,000.00 CAR

Pound for Pound Dollar for Dollar The SS Camaro has the best bang for the buck

quoted from Car and Driver.

Do you see the goofy ass tires in the front. FWD cars will never be able to compete with RWD. Getting a Honda civic to the 10's and paying 60K cash.. If I put that into my SS I would be running in the 7's with dual parachute packs. Tubbed out tires and a blower

Woah watch it there, you almost tripped over your own ignorance... again. And congrats, its naturally aspirated. Uh... does that actually have any relevance to anything that was said in this thread? I don't see how because you can make more power NA, it somehow makes me a "little boy". Congrats, you just spent a ton more on the buildup than you would have if you had simply supercharged it. Ingenious is not stuff a v8 into a pinto, ingenious is stuffing a Toyota straight six into a 63 Nova.

The guy doing it is motivated by essentially one thing. He feels that if V8 guys get so worked up over something that is no concern to them, and that since they make it their sole goal in life to troll on japanese car message boards, he's going to give an American classic the reliability it always deserved by dropping in a Japanese engine, all the while saving tons of gas.

Finally, a reliable American car!

60k to get into the 10's? More like 20-30 depending on how new your car is and whether or not you're a pay to play ricer.

Edit: Sport Compact Car (which has gone downhill recently, unfortinutly) build a "budget boost" honda crx. They paid something like $1,000 for the car, $1,000 for the turbo parts, went to the track and did low 11's.

I drive a Ford F150 because I WANT TO. I go sick of having a nice car, and some asshole fucking it up. Lots of people have cars because they like them.


And trust me, I can afford almost any car I want.

Still even 30,000.00 to get into the 10's

You know what I could do with 30,000 in my car? I also have the Cubic Inches to work with. I can even stroke it out. I would walk any honda any day.

Like I said, all motor imports = pathetic. They make no power what so ever unless blown. Face it you guys cant make the power with out a power adder, thats downside to the rice. Let me know what the bill is for a years worth of cv joints :Oh crap

uh... HOT ROD Magazize stated FOX BODY MUSTANG
Best bang for buck

BIG B
CECash.com

It went into the track as a POS and it leaves the track as a POS.


The fast n furious movie gets me everytime when they raced the Mucle cars... No fucking way they won lol

Im happy with my 150hp civic vti. Its old but i like it.

they used to have a flash interface on the site up until last night that featured that black SI. I think it's by special order. It was 25k. It was 193 hp or 197 hp, I can't remeber. Only reason I was able to get this pic was because I saved it from a few days ago.

Again, you're displaying your ignorance by claiming cars that need forced induction are pathetic. Top fuel dragsters are totally pathetic, I agree! Funny you should mention it, while several companies do make aftermarket cv joints and such, not many guys use them. In the forced induction forum on Honda-tech.com, most of the guys running high hp would agree that the stock honda pieces are fine so long as you launch properly, and dont drop the clutch from 9000 everytime you move off from a light. That being said, if you're so inclined to drop the clutch more than is needed, some aftermarket pieces will last forever.

i said LOOKS.

dont u read?

u know wut i meant heh
