As the title of the thread says, thats how i feel right now. I went to Honda Day with a few of my buddies on sunday (I had nothing to do so went). There were alot of nice cars. A real man appreciates a fine body regardless the make and boy were there alot of nice cars. We went to watch the hondas run their stuff and there was a honda that ran 8.99 w/o a bottle and one that ran a 8.79 with a bottle. All i could say is hot damn thats fast. How can we match those times without a Nitrous Kit?? Or is it even possible?

Was that 1/8 mile or 1/4 mile???

If it was 1/4 mile you could do those #'s with a big turbo, forged engine, built trans, some N2O would help, lots of weight reduction, need a cage and probably about 20-35K....

Would not be streetable, and would be more expensive than the original sticker price of the car...

Would surprise people though!!!


Edit: forgot suspension mods and frame/chassis strengthening.....

yeah dude that was 1/4 mile! I was like holy ****

If a honda is running 8s in the 1/4, it's not a street car and it's probably got an insane size turbo. In that case, looks at how many non street car, 8 second F-bodies there are.

I still rather have a 10-11 second street car over an 8 second trailer queen! Or even a honda, lol.

The weight difference alone is massive the curb weight is 2600 lbs on the 2010 honda
The 2007 Impala SS is Curb weight: 3764 lb. So there a hell of a difference.

I got a friend building a 10/11 sec '92 Civic hatch. The car will weigh about 1800-1900 lbs and only make about 350 whp, built motor and turbo. All our cars need is a diet, lol.

I'm really thinking about gutting mine when I boost (and maybe spray) it.

8 Second Hondas are out there. Definitely not a street car though. I haven't been up to date on 'em, but last year there was low 9 second 4cyl N/A Honda deag cars.

Having an 8sec Honda is kinda like coming out of the closet. Yeah you might surprise a couple of people but at the end of the day your still gay.

Very true they defintely weren't street legal at all but damn it 8 seconds is fast especially for a FWD but then again wit those cheap *** cars, modding them are easy thats why they use them

Yea they can put down good numbers with moderate power cause they weigh next to nothing. But at the end of the day my lug nuts need more torque then their motors can put out.

SSCoop

lmao.
